INFINAM® eCO PA12

Evonik is driving circular plastics economy in additive manufacturing. The leading specialty chemicals company is introducing a new grade of its polyamide 12 powders that is designed to unbound sustainable 3D printing at scale. INFINAM® eCO PA12 is the world’s first PA12 powder material for industrial 3D printing that substitutes 100 percent of fossil feedstock with bio-circular raw material from waste cooking oil in a mass balancing process. The new, ready-to-use powder features a reduction of CO2 emissions of 74 percent in comparison to the castor oil-based polyamides of Evonik’s own INFINAM® Terra development grade. Having already launched a new PA12 grade with reduced carbon footprint in late 2022, Evonik is now fully aligning its portfolio of polyamide 12 powders with its circularity approach. Evonik will present its formula to drive circular plastics economy in 3D printing during the Formnext trade show, Frankfurt am Main Germany, November 7-10, 2023 in hall 12.1 at booth C39.
