Chennai plant will produce NXT™ P97 silane for IMEA and Asia‑Pacific, improving supply and access to a 79% renewable‑carbon silane for silica‑reinforced tire treads.
Pilot plant for chemical recycling of high-performance elastomers in Leverkusen; targets >90% material recovery and up to two-thirds lower carbon footprint vs virgin material.
Pilot plant scales a chemical recycling route for high‑performance Vulkollan elastomers, enabling >90% mass recovery and cutting carbon footprint by up to two thirds.
New anti‑aging additive matches 6PPD performance while showing improved aquatic toxicology; REACH registered and slated for Q4 commercial production.
Platform delivers plasticizing flame retardants with TPP below 0.1%, strong flame- and smoke-control, reduced antimony use and up to 40% lower carbon footprint.
Circular precipitated silica from ISCC Plus‑certified feedstock for tire and rubber applications; mass-balance verified and now commercially produced in EMEA.
Switch to ISCC PLUS-certified chlorine lowers chloroprene rubber emissions; full conversion completed Jan 2026, ~20% GWP cut versus 2025; Eco grades add certified butadiene.
Ceramifying silicone boosts thermal and flame resistance in battery barriers; potting compounds deliver 1.6 and 2.4 W/mK, low sedimentation and room‑temperature cure.
Azeglio-based Gomet sold to Trelleborg for €42.5m; 2025 revenue ~€24m; proceeds to reduce outstanding borrowings.
ISCC PLUS‑certified, mass‑balanced acetone from non‑food waste biomass offers up to 175% cradle‑to‑gate carbon reduction while matching conventional acetone performance.
