Material engineering faces evolving market dynamics. Connectivity, mobility and advanced technologies inspire people to live safer, healthier and more convenient lifestyles. While this transformation is exciting, companies face challenges in staying current with materials innovations for their continuously changing design challenges. Partnering with a materials expert will help to realize first-time-right designs.
DSM offers application expertise, design support, materials innovation and a broad materials portfolio with global support and security of supply. As a global top-3 supplier in polyamides, high-temperature PAs and elastomers, DSM is a partner of leading multinationals. Nine out of ten cars and nearly every electronics device contains DSM material.
We’re a world leader in high-performance and increasingly sustainable thermoplastics used in automotive, electrical & electronics, building & construction, medical, food packaging and consumer goods (to name but a few). Our materials enable lighter, stronger and more durable products - which in turn makes people’s lives safer, more convenient and healthier – and all while helping to tackle carbon emissions.
Optimizing thermal management systems for EVs with advanced materials
Our customers increasingly demand innovative solutions to make people’s lives better, safer, more convenient and healthier, while addressing the challenge of climate change. New standards in design, comfort, and ease of use are combined with the quest to cut energy use. These trends are driving the demand for high-performance plastics.
With our broad, high-quality materials portfolio and in-depth technology know-how, we work in close collaboration with customers across the globe to develop new applications in response to their search for better, smarter, stronger, safer, smaller, lighter, longer-lasting, or more sustainable solutions.
High-temperature Aliphatic polyamide with a melting temperature of 295°C and high crystallinity level and fast crystallization speed, resulting in Stanyls three key strengths:
ForTii has a unique PPA's technology with high amide density. The ForTii platform includes polymers that are the highest crystalline, highest melting point and highest glass transition temperature amongst all PPA resulting in:
EcoPaXX is a high-performance aliphatic, biobased polyamide which uniquely balances benefits of typical short and long chain polyamides such as low moisture uptake and high mechanical performance. EcoPaXX has wide applicability and is especially popular as PA66 performance booster since it can be processed in the same tools.
Poly(p-phenylene sulfide) (PPS) is a polymer made up of sulfur atoms and phenylene rings. It is a semi-crystalline polymer with a melting point of about 280°C. The highly stable chemical bonds of its molecular structure brings PPS below key strengths:
Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) with high temperature resistance, good processability and excellent elastic behavior. Arnitel belongs to the TPE subcategory of thermoplastic copolyesters (TPC).
High performance polyester compounds (PET, PBT and blends), combining excellent flow with good mechanical strength.
Our Akulon portfolio covers virtually all possible applications with grades suited to all processing techniques including extrusion, injection and blow molding. Akulon polyamide 6 & 66 resins represent the best value in all-purpose engineering materials:

Today, our plastics can be found in most of the world’s cars. The reason? These tough yet lightweight materials are meeting the extreme needs of auto manufacturers - for example by reducing engine friction and performing in red-hot temperatures, long-term.
Our plastics also meet the increasingly extreme needs of the planet. In the case of reducing engine friction, for example, around 1 gram of CO2 emissions are saved for every km driven.
