With our customized high performance materials, we improve your quality of life. Today and tomorrow.

Efficiency and reliability are our key drivers when developing sustainable, customized solutions. Our goal is to design products for the future that hold up to the challenge of elevating your quality of life – every day.

Clarifying and understanding problems is a prerequisite for finding appropriate solutions. Consequently, High Performance Polymers places special emphasis on close cooperation with its customers to jointly develop customized system solutions.

Our portfolio ranges from polyamide compounds which have been consistently adapted to the various market requirements for the past fifty years to high temperature polymers, semi-finished products for, e.g., the medical technology till the development of innovative gas separation modules.

The high-performance polyamides VESTAMID® and TROGAMID®, partially produced with green energy, are to be found in sports shoe soles and in sunglasses, in filaments for brushes or textiles, in gas pipes, oil production lines and in various safety-related automotive parts. VESTAMID® of Evonik is the mostly used polyamide 12 for automotive line systems.

The high-temperature polymer VESTAKEEP® PEEK replaces metal in many industrial applications. In addition its characteristics are highly valued in implants and dental applications.

The thermoplastic rubber VESTENAMER® is an important processing aid in manufacturing tires and technical rubber parts. 

It also eases rubber recycling and therefore is used in elastomer modified asphalt.

Our polymer powders, e.g., VESTOSINT® are used for wire coating as dishwasher racks and in all common 3-D printing processes. Due to its many years of expertise in this area, HP will also manage the innovation growth area of additive manufacturing.

ROHACELL® is a lightweight structural foam core for composites in aircraft construction, among others.

SEPURAN® membrane modules upgrade bio or natural gas, and hydrogen, generate nitrogen or recover helium – highly selective and efficiently. Membrane technology is also one of Evonik's six defined innovation growth areas.

Hot gases from waste incinerators and other plants are cleaned with filters made of P84® fibers. The protective suits of firefighters also make use of the heat protection capability of these fibers.

With all of these customized products High Performance Polymers promise its customers:
We take you to the top!

As a technology leader with almost 60 years of experience, we create high performance polymers, foams and membranes that take you to the top!
