Marl, Germany. Evonik has just launched the impressively sturdy, TROGAMID® eCO Impact 75 polymer for injection molding.

We are excited to bring this innovative product to the market,” says Christina Walkosak, head of Evonik’s High Performance Polymers’ Granules and Compounds product line.

Additionally, TROGAMID® eCO Impact 75 is produced using a mass balance approach that reduces the use of fossil-based feedstock by 30%.
