Envalior at K 2025: Making applications smarter, safer, smaller, lighter, longer lasting, and more sustainable

• Amid ongoing market disruption, Envalior stands out as an Engineering Materials company with the agility, global portfolio, local R&D and compounding capabilities to best meet current customer needs.

• At K 2025, Envalior will highlight how its materials solutions help improve performance and reduce time-to-market, risks, costs, and CO2 emissions.

• Alongside Sustainable and High-Performance Engineering Materials, the company will present its full suite of Engineering Services – combining materials science, application expertise, CAE capabilities, and AI-powered tools to help customers accelerate innovation and reduce time-to-market.

Düsseldorf, 12 JUNE 2025 – Envalior will make its debut at K 2025, The World’s No.1 Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber, at Messe Düsseldorf from October 8 to 15. The global materials company will present its Sustainable & High-Performance Engineering Materials portfolio across three industries: Mobility, Electrical & Electronics, and Consumer Goods. Reducing environmental impact will be a central theme, with applications made from bio- or recycled-based sources on display. Visitors can find Envalior in Hall 6, Booth B11. Experts will be available to explain how the company helps to speed up innovation through co-development at every stage of the design and manufacturing process.

Strategically positioned for global-to-local customer support

With the geopolitical and market challenges facing companies across the Automotive, Electrical & Electronics, and Consumer Goods industries, selecting optimal materials and suppliers has never been more critical to maintain competitive advantages. As a leading global-to-local Engineering Materials company, Envalior combines a strong global organization and portfolio with a dedicated local presence to deliver tailored application support, R&D expertise and compounding services. Its ongoing investments in regional compounding capacity, such as the new Xytron™ PPS compounding facility under construction in Uerdingen, Germany, reinforce its commitment to supporting customers where they operate.

Latest innovation applications to be unveiled at K 2025

K 2025 will be an opportunity to explore many of the company’s applications, materials, and services. Some highlights at K 2025 are outlined below:

Mobility

• High-pressure Type IV hydrogen storage vessels made entirely from thermoplastics with blow-molded, injection-molded, or even rotomolded Durethan® and Akulon® PA6 liners combined with high-strength UDea™ thermoplastic composite tapes.

• E-powertrain components made with Xytron™ PPS such as invertor/convertor busbars and terminal blocks. Xytron™ solutions are also available for IGBT boards, delivering a CTI value of 600 to meet the increasing electrical insulation and tracking requirements of new mobility applications.

• Inverter mounting frame for mild hybrid vehicles, constructed using Pocan® PBT, delivering significant gains in hydrolysis resistance and thermal shock stability.

• New PFAS-free Stanyl® PA46 grade for wear and friction applications in gears (including xEV) and a thermoplastic composite tape solution for lightweight EV motor brackets.

 E&E

• New Pocan® PBT grade designed to meet the demanding requirements of future high-voltage connectors in Mobility as well as next-generation E&E components, supporting the upcoming transition of AI data centers to 800V HVDC power supplies.

• Sustainable drop-in alternatives to fossil-derived grades for miniature circuit breakers (MCBs), switches and connectors, including Durethan® ECO (30% recycled content) and Durethan® BLUE (30% pre-consumer recycled content and 56% bio-based content) – halogen-free, flame-retardant PA6 grades.

• Ultrathin e-motor stator insulation made with Stanyl® PA46, allowing for enhanced power and efficiency without increasing the e-motor’s outer dimensions – and enabling some of the industry’s thinnest thermoplastic stator insulation.

 Consumer goods

•  New Arnitel® thermoplastic copolyester (TPC) foaming grades for the production of high-performance athletic shoe midsoles, enabling performance improvements and compatibility with different foaming technologies, as well as bio-based alternatives.

• Xytron™ PPS solutions for household appliances, enabling safer and longer-lasting applications such as components for coffee machines, water heaters, air fryers, and hair dryers.

 Bio- and recycled-based solutions

• Envalior aims to offer a full range of sustainable alternatives across its portfolio by 2030, and many innovative materials will be on display – made from bio- and recycled-based sources such as used fishing nets, cooking oil, and industrial glass fiber waste.

• Key solutions include Envalior’s PA6 product range, made with circular and bio-circular caprolactam, and its bio-based Stanyl® PA46 material, which is certified according to the ISCC PLUS mass balance method.

• A range of PFAS-free materials to help ensure future regulatory compliance and improve consumer safety while maintaining exceptional mechanical properties.

 Engineering Services

• Envalior will launch its full suite of integrated Engineering Services, enabling customers to save time, reduce risk, and increase cost-efficiency through a unique combination of materials science, deep application expertise, CAE modeling capabilities, and advanced AI-powered tools.
