Sustainable polymers for the chemical industry!
What we do
Power2Polymers pioneers in cheaper, more sustainable and high-performance polymer products for specialty applications. These applications include, but are not limited to lubricants, industrial adhesives and sealants. Our innovative EU and US-patented technology, offers high-performance alternatives for a total market of +$340 billion. Resulting materials provide performance advantages, such as better material compatibility. Performance benefits are based on our technology, which allows to integrate a novel building block, called POM, into base polymers. The integration further reduces the product carbon footprint by 40%

Powerful sustainable polymer platform technology
Our proprietary technology significantly enhances the customization and performance of base polymers, allowing for integration of a novel building-block. Additionally, our innovative building block reduces the material carbon footprint by 40%, addressing pressing sustainability issues and shortages of fossil-based resources. We are currently focused on a total market of +$340 billion. Applications include, but are not limited to, lubricants, industrial adhesives, and sealants, offering high-performance, more sustainable alternatives across these industries.
Lubricants
Lubricants are made from polymers because these long-chain molecules can create a slippery surface, reducing friction between moving parts. This makes them essential for any technology that moves, from car engines to computer fans, ensuring they operate smoothly and last longer.
While matching performance, our novel base oils can provide better compatibility with polar additives in comparison to conventional PAOs.
Adhesives
Adhesives use polymers to stick things together because their long, sticky chains can bond tightly to surfaces. Whether it's gluing a broken toy or assembling high-tech electronics, polymer-based adhesives provide the strength and flexibility needed for a durable hold.
Adhesives resulting from our novel materials provide shorter drying times and better recyclability in monomaterial packaging compared to conventional PUs.
Sealants
Sealants are often polymer-based as they create durable barriers against fluids and gases. Used in construction joints and plumbing, polymer sealants maintain the integrity of various structures and products, adhering to different surfaces and withstanding environmental stresses.
Through the integration of POM into sealing rings, also jointly with NBR, novel sealant material are accessible providing upside as PTFE-alternative.
Stemming from a multimillion research project
Our start-up Power2Polymers draws on the research of the Kopernikus Project P2X, one of the largest German research consortia in the field of energy transition. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding all Kopernikus P2X projects with a total of 400 million euros.
Power2Polymers is redefining material science, leveraging the robust and versatile Polyoxymethylene (POM) – the same material that made your childhood Lego blocks so indestructible. This innovative method can eliminate the need for harmful chemicals and doubles the customizability of polymers to suit specific applications. It's a cutting-edge fusion of chemistry, paving the way for smarter, safer polymer production.
