Press release overview

Envalior, the new engineering material powerhouse, emerged from the combination of two highly complementary industry leaders in engineering materials – DSM Engineering Materials (DEM) and LANXESS High Performance Materials (HPM), made its debut appearance at Chinaplas 2024 in Shanghai. The company revealed its latest innovations across various application fields, with a focus on the innovative trend of new mobility and sustainability.

Envalior’s Bond-Laminates will reveal their latest innovations across various application fields with a focus on the megatrends of new mobility and sustainability at JEC World 2024 in Paris. Attendees visiting the booth will see innovative solutions for individualized product designs and product properties as well as enhanced safety resource conservation and environment protection.

Envalior announces that it has partnered with KOKI TECHNIK Transmission Systems GmbH, a leading Transmission Shifting Systems manufacturer, to deliver a shift fork used within an E-Powertrains Decoupling Unit. KOKI chose ForTii® ACE PPA for its shift fork application because the material offers extreme high stiffness up to 160°C, design freedom and maximum wear resistance without the need for additional bushings.

Envalior announces that its planned expansions at the Jiangyin and Changzhou production sites have been completed, with a new state-of-the-art compounding line built at each location. Both facilities produce sustainable high-performance materials for the automotive, electrical and electronics markets, among other segments.

At Fakuma 2023, Envalior is presenting material and technology solutions for key trends of the future such as electric and fuel-cell mobility, autonomous driving, lightweight design, alternative energy generation, and digitalization.

The new polyester Pocan® B3234HR S2 (PBT) from Envalior has been released recently. This hydrolytically stabilized compound offers outstanding adhesion with a primer-free applied, thermally quick-hardening single-component silicone adhesive that is already widely used on the market.

Envalior is offering a new composite under the Tepex brand that, even with very low test specimen thicknesses, passes the standard thermal runaway tests for electric vehicle battery housings. The high resistance of this composite to the extreme conditions of a battery cell fire can be attributed to the non-flammable long and continuous fibers that reinforce the material in a multi-layer structure.

Envalior today announces it has supported the Italian based manufacturer EPOCA S.p.A. to deliver SEALOVE, a high-quality gardening tool collection manufactured from Akulon® RePurposed, a versatile, high-performance polyamide, made from recycled fishing nets.

Envalior will use the “Fuse Box Meets Dryer – Plastics in E&E Applications” conference organized by the South German Plastics Center (SKZ) to highlight its leading position as an innovation partner for the international electrical and electronics (E&E) industry.

STIHL has named LANXESS Performance Materials GmbH, which is now part of Envalior, as one of its “Suppliers of the Year 2022” alongside four other companies. The family company has been honoring suppliers for outstanding performance in terms of quality, technology, innovation, service, and value for money since 1990.

Envalior will use the “Fuse Box Meets Dryer – Plastics in E&E Applications” conference organized by the South German Plastics Center (SKZ) to highlight its leading position as an innovation partner for the international electrical and electronics (E&E) industry.

Envalior will have its own booth at Battery Show Europe 2023 in Stuttgart, Europe’s biggest trade show for cutting-edge technologies and production processes for batteries for electric and hybrid vehicles.

At JEC World, which will take place in Paris from April 25 through 27, Envalior will be showcasing new material and technological developments in its portfolio of continuous-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites under the Tepex brand.

The Puma Fast-FWD NITROTM Elite is an ultra-lightweight shoe that offers mechanical support to propel the wearer forward. It is designed as a race-day shoe for distances of around five kilometers. The maximized energy transfer can be attributed to a new technique developed by Puma for midsoles combining a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic plate – or PWRPLATE as it’s called – and a foam layer.

Envalior, a global leader in engineering plastics, today announces its official launch as a company. With a turnover of around EUR 4 billion and a highly qualified and diverse team of around 4,000 employees worldwide, Envalior is one of the leading companies in the field of engineering plastics.
