Evonik's range of specialty chemicals, including ACEMATT, DYNACOLL®, POLYVEST®, SURFYNOL®, TEGO® AIREX, TEGO® FLOW, TEGO® FOAMEX, VESTAGON® BF 1350, VESTAKEEP, VESTALITE® S 101, VESTAMID, VESTAMIN® IPD, VESTANAT® H12MDI, and VESTOPLAST®, is engineered to meet the stringent demands of the industry.
Our matting agents and flow additives like ACEMATT® and TEGO® Flow enhance the aesthetics and durability of coatings, while our adhesives and sealants such as POLYVEST® and VESTOPLAST® ensure strong bonds and seamless finishes, crucial for automotive interiors and exteriors. The reactive hotmelts DYNACOLL® are perfect for applications like automotive interior parts, door panels, and windshield bonding, providing robust and lasting adhesion.
Innovations in materials like VESTAKEEP® polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and VESTAMID® polyamides offer superior performance in manufacturing parts through injection molding and extrusion processes. These materials are not only durable but also boast excellent chemical resistance and impact strength, making them ideal for automotive components.
Our curing agents and polyisocyanate adducts, such as VESTALITE® S 101 and VESTAGON® BF 1350, are at the forefront of enabling fast curing and robust epoxy resin systems for SMC applications, pushing the boundaries of efficiency and performance. VESTANAT® IPDI ensures that plastic coatings for car interiors and dashboards are scratch-resistant, durable and stay looking beautiful, while VESTANAT® H12MDI offers OEMs light stable and weathering resistance thermoplastic polyurethanes coatings.
Sustainability is built into how we develop automotive materials. Documented examples include low-VOC polyurethane additives for vehicle interiors, the Silica/Silane system for low-rolling-resistance tires, and ISCC Plus-certified ULTRASIL® eCO – each substantiated on its own application page.
In addition to our core products, we offer 3D printing materials under the INFINAM® brand, which can be used in limitless automotive applications, and high-performance defoamers for diesel applications, ensuring long-term performance and stability. Our additives for automotive paints and transportation vehicle coatings provide benefits across all layers of OEM paint systems and other transportation applications.
For marine and protective coatings, our additives and resins support extended coating service life, enable more efficient anti-fouling formulations, and deliver reliable micro- and macro-foam control with TEGO® and SURFYNOL®. For molded polyurethane foam, our catalysts, silicone surfactants and performance additives are engineered to help manufacturers meet VDA 278 and VDA 276 emission targets for vehicle interiors – with the foam quality and physical performance car seats, dashboards and other components demand.
Our additives and resins for powder coatings like SPHERILEX® and AEROXIDE® impart matting and anti-caking properties and improve the flow behavior of powder paints. They are suitable for electrostatic application.
