Our Durethan^®-branded polyamide 6 and polyamide 66 materials and our Pocan^®-branded polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) grades offer diverse growth and innovation potential. At our production sites in Belgium, Germany, Brazil, China, India and the United States, we produce caprolactam, glass fibers, polyamide 6, polyamide 66 and PBT in state-of-the-art plants.

Our Tepex^® brand organic sheets are used to produce high-performance systems from thermoplastic composites. The innovative combination of continuous fiber reinforcement with thermoplastic polymers results in exceptionally high strength and stiffness combined with extremely low weight. Tepex^® enables cost-effective, mass production-proven part manufacturing processes in many applications in the automotive and consumer goods industries.

To meet the high demands of our customers, we have developed a special service called "HiAnt". The development of high-end applications is our main focus. It requires special engineering know-how and high-performance materials. In partnership with our customers, we develop innovative solutions from the concept through to the serial production.

Durethan^® 

Durethan^® brand polyamides can be used for lightweight components in automotive engineering and often replace metal parts.

One example is the frontend module: this provides the housing for components such as headlights and radiators. In the event of frontal impact, enormous forces act on this area. The material must endure the force and ensure that the impacting energy is completely dissipated. It may seem unusual to use polyamides in a structural component for the front end module of a car. However, the engineering plastics are reinforced with glass fiber and are processed into extremely stable components, thanks to their design freedom. They provide protection in the event of accidents, but are up to 50 % lighter than metal. This saves fuel and reduces CO₂ emissions.

Pocan^®

Polybutylene terephthalates (PBT) of the Pocan^® brand are used in a wide range of applications in the electrical and electronics industry, for example in lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicle propulsion or the charging infrastructure. Engineering plastics are used for battery covers, high-voltage plugs, housing parts for control units or for lines for cooling liquids.

Tepex^®

Tepex^® is a fiber-reinforced, plastic-based, plate-like composite material that has recently become increasingly established in the mass production of lightweight components. It enables thin-walled structural components for the automotive industry, the sports and leisure industry and for consumer electronics.

One example is the use of Tepex® for laptop covers. Requirements such as minimum weight and maximum stiffness play a major role here. In addition, our materials open up a wide range of design options and surfaces.
