Evonik does a lot of work to make things better—but its encounters with people in everyday life often go unnoticed.
Whether it's lighter cars, resource-friendly agriculture, or more effective medicines, Evonik is the driver to bring about these improvements as we ensure that countless products have the properties that make them special.

POLYVEST® - MAKING TIRES GREENER?
In recent years, Evonik's researchers have done a great deal to further enhance so-called green tires. But that's not all: To make the green tire even greener, our experts continued their search for new innovations. These efforts have led to the development of POLYVEST® ST, a silane-terminated liquid polybutadiene used as a performance additive to ensure that the Silica/Silane system is even more compatible with rubber in tire formulations. ...

RESOMER® - FASTER HEALING WITHOUT INVASIVE SURGERY?
Broken bones and torn ligaments often require surgery. The fracture must be aligned and stabilized, and the ligament reattached; this requires screws, pins, or plates made of metal or, increasingly more often, plastic. Evonik is one of the leading producers of biodegradable polymers from which such implants can be fabricated. ... MORE
REWOFERM® - MORE SUSTAINABLE DETERGENTS ?
Showering, washing, cleaning—without surfactants, all these activities would be a drag. That’s because surfactants are amphiphilic, which means they function by breaking down the interface between water and oils and/or dirt, holding these oils and dirt in suspension, and thus allowing their removal. ...

And that’s exactly what Evonik’s specialty polymer powders are aiming at. ... MORE
AQUAVI® MET-MET - SWITCHING FROM FISH TO A VEGETARIAN DIET
Every second fish and every second shrimp on your plate is now produced by aquaculture—because wild capture has been unable to keep pace with demand since the mid-1980s. But aquaculture too has its limitations: Fish feed contains fish meal and fish oil, which in turn are obtained from fish in the sea. ... MORE
BUTENE–1 - KEEPING PEOPLE HYDRATED?
Whether it’s a quick morning run, a brisk workout at the gym, or a regular yoga class, daily exercise is a fixed part of the lives of many people.

A bottle of water to quench their thirst and stay hydrated - one that will not crack or break, is easy to clean, and, of course, one that looks good. ... MORE
VESTOSINT® - ALL NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR 3D PRINTING?
