Envalior to debut high-performance engineering materials at K2025

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

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.

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

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.
