We make cars...

One good turn: “Green tires” with Evonik’s innovative silica-silane system lower rolling resistance, which helps cut fuel consumption by up to 8 % – without impacting grip, especially on wet roads. That reduces CO2 emissions and increases safety.

Managers aren’t the only ones who need to be flexible – automotive paints do, too. With its new technology, Evonik can produce silane-modified binders that make car paint more resilient. The enhanced crosslinking of the silanes paves the way for car paints that are both more flexible and more durable. The result: better resistance to scratches.

Hard as steel, light as foam: From structural foams to adhesive systems, Evonik offers all the technologies for high-performance composites from one source. So more and more metal car parts can be replaced with lightweight components. That makes a difference on the scale and at the pump.
