 •  Vestamid  L nylon 12

Sustainable grades:

Evonik’s materials enable Formerra to enter new markets such as aerospace and oil & gas. Evonik will play a key role in helping Formerra to accomplish this growth. In addition, Formerra will be able to support current and future customers with logistics, warehousing, technical service and speed to market.

Evonik’s reputation in high-performance polyamide production and their commitment to sustainable solutions resonate with our vision of offering customers the best cutting-edge material options.”
