Evonik is one of the world’s leading specialty chemicals companies, headquartered in Germany. We develop advanced materials, high‑performance polymers, structural foams, and functional additives essential for safety‑critical aerospace and defense applications. Our solutions increase system reliability, enable lightweight construction, improve propulsion, and support protective and medical technologies. Evonik stands for technological excellence, reliability, and partnership - including in security‑relevant industries.
Evonik Coating Additives contributes to the defense sector with specialty additives that enhance the durability, corrosion protection, chemical resistance, and performance of coatings used on military vehicles, equipment, and infrastructure. Our technologies help improve the reliability and service life of critical assets operating in demanding environments, while supporting sustainability and regulatory compliance requirements.
Evonik Crosslinkers supports aerospace-related applications with specialty technologies designed for demanding resin systems and mission-critical environments. VESTANAT® high-performance isocyanates can support durable polyurethane and specialty formulations where resistance to temperature, stress and demanding service conditions is required. These technologies are also relevant in selected aerospace and defense applications where consistent quality, compliance and secure supply are important.
Evonik High Performance Polymers offers a wide array of materials for comprehensive defense solutions. Our portfolio includes lightweight ROHACELL® composite foams that reduce structural weight in aircraft and robust VESTAKEEP® PEEK-based materials that withstand extreme thermal and mechanical stress. These, and our innovative INFINAM® additive manufacturing materials and P84® polyimides, combine the latest technology with the highest level of dependability for customized, mission-critical applications.
Evonik Interface & Polyurethane Additives supplies the defence industry with advanced material solutions. NANOPOX®, ALBIPOX® and ALBIDUR® modified epoxy resins optimize lightweight structures and fiber-reinforced composites by enhancing mechanical and ballistic performance, improving toughness, and extending service life. Applications include aerospace components, UAVs, ground vehicles and AGVs, as well as marine systems such as UUVs. In addition, our additives enable polyurethane manufacturing technologies to be used under field conditions for the production of lightweight parts. Production sites in Germany ensure a secure and reliable supply.
VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates are used in lightweight composite parts for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and enhance the performance of vinyl ester and unsaturated polyester resins. Our technology enables a significant reduction or replacement of styrene in glass fiber-reinforced composites. This supports regulatory, health, and sustainability objectives while improving the mechanical properties, fiber-matrix adhesion, durability, and strength-to-weight ratios of UAV parts, making them lighter, stronger, and more reliable.
