Plastics for a Successful Energy Transition

Plastics play a central role in the transformation of our energy system. Their design flexibility, light weight, excellent electrical properties, and ease of processing provide developers with the ideal conditions for successfully bringing innovative ideas to life.

Efficient Solutions for Photovoltaics
Our copolymers and compounds have been firmly established in solar technology for many years. Thanks to their high impact strength and weather resistance, they are used in connectors, covers, and as housing materials for inverters. For floating PV systems, they serve as robust floats, thereby forming the durable and reliable foundation for this modern form of energy generation. Our plastics also make a significant contribution in the field of energy storage as indispensable components of battery management systems.
Polymers for cryogenic hydrogen technology
Hydrogen is stored in liquid form at -253°C. An extreme low-temperature environment that places the highest demands on all components. Our high-performance plastics enable reliable sealing solutions and other applications that withstand these conditions.
Advancing e-mobility
For electric mobility to prevail over conventional powertrains, vehicle range is crucial. Polymers make an indispensable contribution to this through weight savings. But they also increase efficiency in charging infrastructure and in the battery sector—for battery trays, cell holders, or busbars—thereby accelerating the expansion of electric mobility.
