Plexus™ Synthetic Macrofibers are uniquely engineered for slab-on-ground and precast applications with higher tensile strength to provide better “Built-In Reinforcement” as a replacement for steel fibers, welded-wire fabric (WWF) and conventional reinforcing bars in a variety of secondary reinforcement applications. In addition, Plexus™ Fibers help to minimize temperature shrinkage cracking, plastic settlement and plastic shrinkage cracking. Plexus™ Fibers distribute uniformly throughout the concrete matrix and deliver excellent finish-ability.

Boron Nitride NanoBarbs™ are boron nitride nanotubes that have nano-crystals of h-BN nucleated on the outside surface of the nanotube. The BNNano process produces high-purity and high-quality Boron Nitride NanoBarbs™ at a low cost that are free of common and metallic contaminants. The NanoBarb™ simplifies the handling and processing of nanomaterials by reducing the Van der Waals Attraction (minimizing contact area between particles), enabling higher loadings when mixed into other materials without agglomeration.

Evonik's ZEOFREE® precipitated silicas are well-known and used as an anti-caking agent, carrier, stabilizer, defoamer, rheology controller, microplastic replacement, and numerous others. The ZEOFREE®product range provides a specialized product solution for many challenges. Through advanced product technology, custom application development and best-in-class handling expertise, Evonik's technical team supports customers in finding the right solution to step up the performance.

Evonik is the inventor of AEROSIL® fumed silica, which is a synthetic fumed silica that is produced by flame hydrolysis. For over 70 years AEROSIL® has proven to enhance performance in many markets and applications. Today Evonik's AEROSIL® portfolio covers a broad range of surface areas, as well as very different surface chemistries. Also, AEROSIL® does not get tired in finding new markets, applications and effects. AEROSIL® is invented to improve.

JetFil® portfolio meets increasingly demanding impact resistance and dimensional stability specifications for automotive applications such as bumpers and body panels. The JetFil® product range features the finest and most efficient grades from the Magris Talc portfolio for automotive applications. When the melt flow of TPOs is increased, impact strength tends to drop. The impact strength of talc-reinforced polyolefins is directly linked to the particle size distribution of the talc and to how it disperses in the matrix. To overcome any density issues due to their ultrafine grind, JetFil® talcs are produced in compacted form to increase bulk density and allow maximum compounding throughput. Their compaction level has been adjusted to provide an optimum handling/ redispersion balance.

Evonik's SIPERNAT® precipitated silicas are well-known and used as an anti-caking agent, carrier, stabilizer, defoamer, rheology controller, microplastic replacement, and numerous others. The SIPERNAT® product range provides a specialized product solution for many challenges. Through advanced product technology, custom application development and best-in-class handling expertise, Evonik's technical team supports customers in finding the right solution to step up the performance.

PERFORMAX Synthetic Macro Fibers are manufactured from a blend of 100% virgin polyolefin resins. PERFORMAX™ Synthetic Macro Fibers meet the requirements of ASTM C1116/C1116M “Standard Specification for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete” and the requirements of ICC ES AC32 Section 3.1.1 for plastic shrinkage reinforcement and 3.1.2 for shrinkage and temperature reinforcement.
