Powertrain

Battery electric, hybrid or ICE-vehicle, Evonik’s multilayer tubes (MLT) provide solutions for fuel-lines and thermal management, as well as high-performance plastics used in gears to reduce weight and NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness). Additives for anodes, cathodes or separators enlarge lithium-ion battery (LIB) capacities and enhance safety. New flame retardant electrical insulation materials for power busbars safeguard in high voltage areas, to highlight just a few of our product solutions for powertrains.

Fuel Systems

Withstanding extreme conditions like high temperatures, cold impacts as well as aggressive chemicals PA12 VESTAMID® is used for various housings or line systems, like for fuel-, air-, hydraulic- or vacuum brakes, clutch, cooling or air suspension systems.

Gear Wheels

VESTAKEEP® PEEK compounds are particularly suitable for applications meeting tribological and extremely high mechanical, thermal, and chemical requirements.

Under the hood

Polyimide P84® NT and P84® UHT parts unite the outstanding properties of polyimide, such as high temperature stability up to 300°C, chemical resistance, high mechanical strength, a low coefficient of friction and minimal abrasion.

The organic modified silioxanes of the TEGOMER® product family helps to improve the flowability and wetting of highly filled compounds, like e.g.,  polyamide compounds in under the hood applications, as well as the glossiness and scratch resistance of compounds, or high gloss PMMA or PC/ABS compounds used for auto interiors.

Lubricants

The DRIVON™ technology toolbox enables lubricant marketers to formulate modern, cost-efficient engine oils, transmission fluids and gear oils.

 The superior wax crystallization control of VISCOPLEX® pour point depressants (PPDs) guarantees optimized oil flow behavior in cold climates, so vehicles and equipment can operate smoothly in adverse weather.

VISCOPLEX® viscosity index improvers (VIIs) feature polymers that contribute to higher viscosity at high temperatures and offer minimal viscosity contribution at lower temperatures. They are used to formulate multigrade engine oils, transmission fluids, hydraulic fluids, gear oils and other industrial lubricants.

Fuel anti knock agents

The MTBE (Methly-tert, butyl ether) based anti-knocking agent DRIVERON® helps to reduce emisions of vehicles, worldwide.

Batteries & Electric

In Cell

Lithium-ion batteries benefit from our metal oxides in multiple ways: The thin ceramic coating on top of separators consists of fumed aluminum oxide (AEROXIDE® Alu 65) and it enhances the battery safety significantly. The battery’s performance and lifetime is increased by dry coating the cathode active materials with fumed aluminum oxide (AEROXIDE® Alu 130) or fumed titanium dioxide (AEROXIDE® TiO2 P 25)

Precipitated silica from Evonik like SIPERNAT® is used as e.g., pore creator of PE separators for lead-acid batteries in cars.

The carbon-covered silicon Siridion® Black is used as additive for anodes in lithium-ion batteries to increase the LIB capacity by high stability and oxidation protection of the anode itself.

The TEGO® Surten E product family covers a wide range of process aids for the efficient mass-production of lithium-ion battery materials. Regardless if it is for dispersing, wetting, flexing or defoaming, the TEGO® Surten E process enablers can make the LIB-production process more efficient and the resulting cells more effective.

Out Cell

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.

With Dynasylan® it is possible to crosslink mineral filled thermoplastic compounds like hologen free flame retardend cable insulations to increase the thermostability and safeness of the automotive wiring harness

TAC and TAICROS® are mainly used as crosslinking additives in peroxide or electron beam induced crosslinking to increase chemical resistance of rubber or thermal and chemical resistance in plastic materials

Cooling Line Systems

Withstanding extreme conditions like high temperatures, cold impacts as well as aggressive chemicals PA12 VESTAMID® is used for various mono layer or multi layer tube (MLT) systems  systems, like for fuel-, air-, hydraulic- or vacuum brakes, clutch, cooling or air suspension systems.

Hydrogen Pressure Tanks

DICYANEX® is designed for use as a latent curing agent for epoxy resins with the finest particle size for maximum reactivity.

VESTAMID® is not only impact resistant over a wide temperature range, it shows also good barrier properties against hydrogen permeability in hydrogen pressure tanks type IV, or fittings in hydrogen lines.

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

e-motor

VESTAKEEP® for high temperature resistant electric isolation of e-motor stator/rotor wires.
