Evonik

Evonik is a German speciality chemicals provider that distributes speciality chemicals and products in Mexico and worldwide. The company has a network of sites in Querétaro, Santa Clara and Monterey connected to its regional platform in North America, as well as facilities for the handling and repackaging of materials.

Evonk’s offerings include:

• Speciality chemicals for oil and gas reservoirs, refineries and petrochemical plants
• Flexible pipes and tanks for deepwater production
• Gathering and flowline infrastructure
• EOR chemical injection solutions
• Paints and coatings for marine vessels and production platforms

Evonik has launched a dedicated product line for extending the use of thermoplastic piping systems to higher operating pressures and larger diameters to replace metallic piping systems. The company uses a product called Polymer12 specifically designed for this application. It has high chemical resistance to hydrocarbon products. The technology was developed in Mexico and is unique worldwide.

In Mexico, Evonik has been involved in key petrochemicals endeavours such as the Coatzacoalcos River project, a one-kilometre pipeline that transports carbon dioxide to a urea plant. The company supplied the polymer to produce the liner that protects this pipe.

The company has established the Evonik Applied Technology Center, a research organisation dedicated to developing innovative plastics and derivatives for sectors such as agriculture, civil construction, home care, personal care, pharmaceuticals, animal nutrition and industrial coatings, among others.
