Reaching for the Stars: Evonik Solutions for Aerospace Applications

Space-based data and technologies are important tools for addressing the global challenges of our time. Satellite-generated data is crucial for innovative digital services and business models such as smart farming, industry 4.0, autonomous driving, fast Internet, and real-time observation for weather and climate data monitoring. And it's not only machines that are going to space — manned spaceflight is also on the rise. Evonik's aerospace solutions help operators reach for the stars, providing future-forward solutions for all space traffic, whether satellites or rocket launches.

Evonik offers cutting-edge chemical solutions that propel the aerospace industry upward. With a rich legacy in high test peroxide (HTP) production and a commitment to sustainable innovation, Evonik's aerospace portfolio is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of space exploration and satellite technology.

Evonik's PROPULSE, a proprietary, highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide product, is redefining the way we think about propulsion. As the aerospace industry turns to green technology, PROPULSE is emerging as a leading green fuel that decomposes into nothing but water and oxygen. This clean oxidizer has high specific impulse and high average density, making it a superior choice for launch vehicles, upper stages and sounding rockets.

Our expertise extends beyond propulsion. Evonik's ROHACELL and ROHAFORM products play a key role in the manufacture of lightweight, energy-efficient, and mechanically reliable urban air mobility vehicles. These high-performance foam cores, integral to sandwich composite structures, offer high glass transition temperatures and exceptional creep compression strength. Designed to withstand intense production cycles, they ensure the highest laminate quality for the next generation of aerospace engineering.

Evonik's commitment to safety is underscored by our inherently flame retardant ROHAFORM for interior applications. Meeting and exceeding stringent fire safety standards such as FAR 25.853, ROHAFORM ensures passenger and aircraft safety during flight operations. Furthermore, it aligns with modern circular economy principles, offering recyclability through advanced processing technologies.

Our aerospace solutions are not merely products but a package of system solutions, including experienced technical support and just-in-time delivery capabilities. This holistic approach has positioned Evonik as a trusted long-term partner in the aerospace sector, where understanding customer needs and providing solution-oriented support is paramount.

As we witness an active market with a forecast of launching approximately 1700 satellites annually by 2030, Evonik's innovations in space technology become ever more crucial. These advancements not only facilitate space exploration but also contribute to sustainable living on Earth, with satellite data enhancing various sectors from agriculture to climate research.

Evonik is ready to support the aerospace industry's ascent, ensuring that humanity reaches the next frontier with the most advanced, sustainable and reliable chemical solutions.
