Evonik showcases high-performance polymers and additives at CHINAPLAS 2026
- PA12 polymerization reactor in Shanghai entered trial production at the end of 2025, doubling Evonik's long‑chain polyamide capacity in Asia.
- Evonik will exhibit at CHINAPLAS 2026, April 21–24, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), Hall 7.2‑C31.
- VESTAMID PA12 is specified for EV battery cooling lines, busbars, energy‑storage systems and thermal management in data centers and low‑altitude aircraft.
- Portfolio highlights include VESTAKEEP PEEK for transmission gears, ROHACELL PMI foam for eVTOL structures, INFINAM and VESTAKEEP 3D filaments for medical/precision parts, VESTAMID PEBA for footwear, and TEGO CYCLE/Sorb/PPA recycling and PFAS‑free processing aids.
Event presence
Evonik will exhibit at CHINAPLAS 2026, April 21–24, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), booth Hall 7.2‑C31, presenting high‑performance polymers and additives for manufacturing sectors.
Capacity expansion
Evonik’s PA12 polymerization reactor in Shanghai entered trial production at the end of 2025, doubling its long‑chain polyamide capacity in Asia.
New energy vehicles and thermal management
VESTAMID PA12 is specified for EV battery cooling lines, busbars, energy‑storage systems and data‑center cooling, offering chemical resistance and high‑temperature performance for reliable heat dissipation.
Motors and high‑performance polymers
The new PEEK Rectangular Magnet Wire Lab at Evonik’s Shanghai Innovation Park focuses on R&D for EV motor applications; VESTAKEEP PEEK is highlighted for transmission gears and lightweight high‑performance components.
Low‑altitude aviation
ROHACELL PMI foam is promoted for ultra‑light, high‑strength eVTOL structural components, while VESTAMID PA12 is proposed for thermal management in low‑altitude aircraft to protect batteries and power systems under extreme conditions.
Advanced manufacturing and medical devices
VESTAKEEP Fusion filaments for FDM cranial implants and VESTAKEEP i4 3DF for spinal implants have received China’s first relevant registration certificates; INFINAM PA12 and other filaments support precision 3D printing for medical, automotive and consumer parts.
Circular economy and consumer applications
Recycling additives TEGO CYCLE and TEGO Sorb remove inks, labels and odors during mechanical recycling; TEGO PPA processing aids offer a PFAS‑free option, and VESTAMID PEBA and melt‑blown VESTAMID products target premium footwear and textile/filtration applications.
