NextGen Solutions at Evonik Crosslinkers
At Evonik, we rigorously evaluate all our products for sustainability on an annual basis. Our assessment utilizes the Portfolio Sustainability Assessment framework developed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).
This comprehensive sustainability evaluation considers various market signals across the diverse end markets of our business.
We define our unit of assessment as PARC (Product-Application-Region-Combination). PARCs group together combinations of products, applications, and regions that exhibit similar sustainability performance throughout the entire value chain.
Our goal is to increase the proportion of our portfolio that features a positive sustainability profile, which we refer to as our NextGen Solutions.
With our NextGen Solutions, we are committed to steering our portfolio towards more sustainable options, thereby contributing to the transformation of the entire value chain. Examples of the sustainable benefits of our products at Evonik Crosslinkers include:
Ultra-Low emission products designed to minimize environmental impact with a low carbon footprint
Bio-based and renewable products using mass-balance to enhance sustainability
Fast-curing and highly efficient products that provide energy and material savings while improving process efficiency
Extended product lifespan by enhancing durability and longevity of finished products
Safer alternatives by substituting hazardous components to protect both users and the environment

Using renewable raw materials in our products help reduce our dependence on petrochemicals. Our epoxy curing agent portfolio includes formulations based on bio-based raw materials, such as fatty acids and cashew nut shell liquid. We now offer several product grades with renewable content of up to 70 %, delivering the same high performance as our conventional curing agents.
Key Benefits
- High renewable content using raw materials sourced from renewable sources, achieving ratios of up to 65-70%
Proven and established technologies
- Exceptional performance comparable to conventional products
- Versatile Applications across a wide range of industries
Our waterborne products offer a more sustainable solution compared to conventional solventborne products without any compromise in performance.
Waterborne technology has become a fundamental part of the epoxy coatings industry. Aqueous systems offer benefits such as low emissions, low flammability, fast dry times, and generally a reduced labeling versus solventborne systems.
We offer a wide range of waterborne curing agents under our Anquamine® and Epilink® brands.
Key benefits
- Low emissions contributing to a reduced carbon footprint for a more sustainable solution
- Excellent adhesion ensuring high surface quality for superior performance
- Easy handling with outstanding curing performance
- High durability with excellent mechanical and chemical resistance for long-lasting results
Our low emission products are meticulously designed to prioritize workplace safety while ensuring compliance with emission regulations across various applications.
Our extensive range of ultralow emission and waterborne curing agents significantly reduces workplace emissions, facilitating a safer application process. We also provide products that enable zero VOC (volatile organic compounds) emission formulations.
Key benefits
- Ultralow emissions products are specifically formulated to meet stringent VOC guidelines, including EMICODE 1Plus and AgBB norms
- Easy handling products with exceptional curing performance
- High mechanical and chemical resistance solutions ensure durability and longevity across various applications
- Versatile solutions suitable for a wide range of industry applications

Effective low temperature curing and rapid cure times are crucial for reducing energy consumption and achieving shorter service times. We offer customized solutions designed to meet a variety of process parameters and climatic conditions.
Polyurethane building blocks
Our VESTAGON® BF grades are internally blocked polyurethane (PUR) crosslinkers, which enable the formulation of coatings with low emission values. Curing can be achieved with heating starting from 160 °C, and we also provide special low temperature curing grades that begin curing at just 120 °C.
Key Features:
- Low emission formulations for coatings that meet stringent emission standards
- Achieve flat matte finishes in a single application
- Outstanding durability for long-lasting performance
