Body
Solutions from Evonik are usable for every color of car body imaginable: For the body in white special adhesives and sealants help to bond even oily metal components more durably while also eliminating vibration. A wide range of resin components and structural foams enable weight reduction with composites for black bodies, which together with the various additives for coatings, enables you to paint your car in any shade you choose.
Composites
Curing agents
VESTALITE® S curing agent is a high performance solution for sheet molding compound (SMC) material with low VOC when combined with a liquid epoxy resin
DICYANEX® is designed for use as a latent curing agent for epoxy resins with the finest particle size for maximum reactivity
With epoxy-amine-systems based on VESTAMIN® the curing process of epoxy resins could be optimized for fast running production cycles and avoid the usage of styrene/anhydrid technology

Adhesives & Sealants
Hotmelts
VESTOPLAST® based heavy coating compounds are used in preshaped car carpets to ensure an excellent dimensional stability after the pressing step
DYNACOLL® based reactive hotmelts are well known for their versatile adhesion properties and very high temperature resistance.
Other Specialities
The short chained polybutadien POLYVEST® is a reactive plasticizer for adhesives, sealants and accustical damping in assembling the body in white, even for oily surfaces.
The HTPB (Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene), which is being marketed under the trade name POLYVEST® HT by Evonik is well established as polymeric binder for high quality PU adhesives for automotive head lamps.
VISIOMER® specialty methacrylates are used in reactive 2 component adhesive and sealant formulations.
Coatings
PUR Coatings
VESTAGON® provides UV, stone chip, acid rain and brake fluids resistance to automotive powder coatings
VESTANAT® EP-M grades are silanes for curing at elevated temperatures (>80°C).
VESTANAT® aliphatic and cycloaliphatic diisocyanate monomers for light stable PUR resins and elastomers as well as cycloaliphatic polyisocyanates for durable 1K and 2K PUR coatings
Matting Agents
The ACEMATT® product family offers treated and untreated precipitated and thermal silica as matting agents.
Underbody
Nourybond® polyamide- and blocked isoyanate-based technologies improve adhesion of PVC and acrylic plastisols to primed metal surfaces
VESTINOL® is a di-isononyl phtalate and used as plasticizer for PVC undercoatings
Precoaters & Adhesion Promoters
For pre-coated automotive parts the coil coating DYNAPOL® offers very good adhesion to aluminium, steel and galvanized steel.
TEGO® AddBond adhesion resins improve adhesion and flexibility of water- and solventborne coatings on metal and plastics.
Defoamers & Deaerators

SURFYNOL® products are defoaming and substrate wetting agents for waterborne coatings.
In water,- and solventborne coatings TEGO® Airex improves defoaming and deaeration properties.
Wetting & dispersing additives
DYNOL™ superwetter provide good substrate wetting, flow & leveling properties, and surface tension reduction in waterborne coatings.
TEGO® Dispers products are used for wetting and dispersing of pigments and fillers in water- and solventborne or high-solid/solvent-free coatings.
ZETASPERSE® products are pigment wetting and dispersing agents for waterborne coatings.
Other Specialities
Ancamine® portofilio covers a wide range of modified aliphatic and cycloaliphatic curing agents with varying pot-life, viscosity, cure speed, and chemical resistance
MAINTENANCE
VESTANAT® H12MDI
VESTANAT® H12MDI makes car wrapping foils chemical resistant against aggressive agents like acid rain, bird droppings, and gritting salt on the roads.
