Our spectrum of products and solutions is designed to meet requirements of the Plastics & Rubber market. As a leading global specialty chemicals group Evonik offers products from additives for plastic coatings, catalysts for plasticizers and polyolefins, release and sliding agents for the rubber industry, silica for plastics and thermoplastics or shoe soles VISIOMER® specialty methacrylate crosslinkers provide mechanical, thermal and chemical robustness for a wide range of plastic and rubber products.

Our Applications

Evonik supports innovation and sustainability with its advanced specialty molding compounds, designed for the Plastics & Rubber industry. Our VESTAMID series, including DX9321, DX9323, DX9325, and X7099, offers a seamless bonding experience to rubber mixtures without the need for pretreatment, making them ideal for applications such as shock-absorbing bearings in vehicle chassis, switch cams, and reinforced seals in engines and machinery.

Our commitment to enhancing production processes and final product quality is unwavering. TEGOMER and TEGOPREN performance additives, as well as ACCUREL highly filled additive masterbatches, provide significant cost advantages, improving mechanical properties and processing parameters for masterbatchers, compounders, and converters across various industries, including automotive, renewable energy, packaging, and electronics.

For rubber goods, known for their durability and flexibility, Evonik's TEGOSIL process auxiliaries ensure optimized production and processing. These solutions, ranging from sliding polymers for window profiles to release agents for hoses and molded parts, are a testament to our global expertise and innovative capabilities.

In the realm of silica, SPHERILEX and AEROSIL 200 V stand out as tailored additives that offer simple processing, consistent quality, and innovative applications such as anti-blocking agents in polymer films and high-grip solutions for footwear. These silica products are indispensable in enhancing the properties of plastics and thermoplastics.

Evonik also makes significant contributions to PVC production with TEGO antifoams and emulsifiers, ensuring efficient processes and market compliance. Our building blocks for polymers, supported by high-performance catalysts, are essential for producing polymer precursors and meeting the dynamic needs of the industry.

Moreover, our trans-polyoctenamer rubber, VESTENAMER, is a game-changer in rubber compounding and recycling. This reactive plasticizer improves dynamic properties and enables the reuse of waste rubber, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and innovation.

Evonik's solutions are not just chemicals; they are the building blocks of a more efficient, sustainable, and innovative future for the Plastics & Rubber industry. Engineers and procurement specialists can rely on us to meet and exceed their performance and environmental goals.
