ZEON Europe GmbH – European subsidiary of ZEON Corporation, Japan, a leading and globally operating producer of specialty polymers – is proud to present their „Vision 2030“ resulting in technology innovations in specialty elastomers, polymers, and specialty chemicals. „I am proud that at ZEON we make a considerable contribution to a sustainable planet and a safe and comfortable life with our technologies, products, and services,“ stated Hubert Thimm, Commercial Director of ZEON Europe GmbH. „We see the greatest potential – but also challenges – for technical developments in the transformation of the automotive industry toward electrification of the powertrain and sustainable and CO2-neutral mobility.“
Impact of the New Mobility on the Rubber Industry
The biggest challenges lie in the transformation of the automotive industry towards electrification, digitalization, and climate neutrality. „Raw material manufacturers have a central role to play here,“ added Hubert Thimm. „According to our Vision 2030, we use the most sustainable raw materials possible in the development of new products.“ In addition, ZEON is driving the decarbonization of existing products towards a circular economy.
The continuing trend towards e-mobility, with hybrid and battery electric vehicles, increasingly requires the use of tailored materials. In the area of conventional combustion engines, the focus remains on downsizing and reducing emissions. In order to comply with the increasing demands on polymer materials, ZEON has developed a series of new high-performance materials that stand out through improved resistance to new types of automotive operating fluids and media emerging with e-mobility.
ZEON introduce their Vision 2030 and several new specialty rubber highlights from June 27 to 30, 2022 at the Deutsche Kautschuk Tagung (DKT; German Rubber Conference) and International Rubber Conference (IRC) in Nuremberg, Germany, at Stand 524 in Hall 9.
