Solutions by Area
Industrial Building Materials
Improve water resistance and long-term durability for a broad variety of substrates including lightweight aggregates for the drymix industry (pumice, roofing granules, perlites), melamine resin foam, paper, cardboards, starch, dispersion-based binders, wood fibres and boards.
SITREN® – Additives for water repellency, higher durability, and an aesthetic final appearance.
Solid Surface Materials
Solid surfaces, also known as artificial marble and engineered stone, go beyond aesthetics—they deliver durability and sustainability for kitchens, bathrooms, and custom designs. Evonik’s VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates empower manufacturers to create high-performance solid surfaces with up to 80% fillers, offering clarity, resilience, and eco-efficiency.
VISIOMER® EGDMA, 1,4-BDDMA, TMPTMA, PEG 200 DMA – Crosslinkers that enhance impact resistance, mechanical strength, and thermal stability while reducing shrinkage.
VISIOMER® Terra IBOMA – A bio-based hydrophobic monomer that improves scratch resistance, dimensional stability, and durability in hot water environments.
VISIOMER® HEMA-P – A polymerizable dispersant that eliminates filler pre-treatment, improves dispersion stability, lowers viscosity, and enables higher filler loadings without sagging.
VISIOMER® Terra ISDMA – A bio-based monomer used as a crosslinker in reactive resins and as a comonomer in emulsion polymerization for core-shell acrylic binders, delivering high scratch resistance, excellent thermomechanical properties, durability, and low polymerization shrinkage.
