Additives for Specialized PU applications

Advanced PU chemistry

Evonik’s additives enable precise control of polyurethane and polyurea systems, supporting targeted reactivity, optimized pot life and reliable curing behavior across a range of coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers (CASE) and industrial applications.

Catalysts & curatives

POLYCAT®, DABCO® and KOSMOS® catalysts for targeted reactivity, balanced rise profiles and stable processing
VERSALINK® diamine curatives for extended processing windows and enhanced mechanical performance
Suitable for CASE and hybrid systems

Surface and coating additives

Evonik supports synthetic leather, flexible coatings and interior components with additive technologies engineered to deliver smooth surfaces, uniform texture, and low‑emission processing across polyurethane and hybrid systems.

Additive benefits include:

Uniform surface formation
Controlled leveling and defoaming
Compatibility with water‑borne and solvent‑free systems

Additives for mechanically frothed foams

Mechanical froth applications such as carpets, artificial turf, synthetic leather and mobility interiors require consistent density, extended open time and stable microcell structure during production. Evonik’s additive technologies are engineered to support efficient processing and robust physical properties in these demanding systems.

Additive benefits include:

VOC‑optimized TEGOSTAB® surfactants for stable and finely controlled froth formation
KOSMOS® and POLYCAT® catalysts for controlled curing in continuous production processes
Support your system's efficient processing and durable mechanical performance
