Engineering Plastics
High-quality plastics from LANXESS have good durability and dimensional stability. Our portfolio contains an extensive range of products and innovative systems solutions for customers all over the world.
Our hybrid technology has a particularly promising future. This technology is used to create metal/plastic composites. Combining these two materials makes them far tougher than either material on its own. This innovative, patented technology opens up a range of new possibilities, for example in the transportation sector - from airplanes to automobiles.
Our thermoplastics are also used in virtually all areas of everyday life: in cars, the home and electrical and electronic appliances.
The Engineering Plastics segment comprises the following business units:
