The move sees Evonik consolidating its globally leading position on the polyamide 12 market and acting as a reliable partner for secure supplies to its customers, now and in the future, announced the company. Advert Laurolactam is the staring material for the polymer polyamide 12. Evonik markets polyamide 12 as VESTAMID®, an engineering material, and VESTSINT® powder.
