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. 

At the heart of our portfolio is a commitment to sustainability and innovation. We continuously strive to develop products that not only meet the high standards of the automotive industry but also contribute to a greener and more sustainable future.

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, additives and resins from Evonik offer longevity, anti-fouling properties, and the elimination of micro and macro foaming. In polyurethane foam molding, we have developed new catalysts and silicone surfactants with low VOC content to reduce emissions in automotive interiors and enhance the physical properties of car seats, dashboards, and other components.

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.
