DÜSSELDORF, Germany — January 28, 2025 — To better serve growing customer demand in Europe and the Americas, Envalior — a global supplier of sustainable and high-performance engineering materials — announces that it will invest in a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) compounding facility in Europe.
Envalior’s PPS material Xytron™ combines a strong set of properties, including excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance at elevated temperatures, extremely stable heat aging performance up to 240°C, very good and stable electrical properties at elevated temperatures, low moisture absorption with high dimensional stability, and inherent flame retardance that meets UL94 V0.
Since 2016, when Xytron entered the market, the PPS material has built a strong track record across OEMs and tier customers. The new facility will provide local supply and additional services to customers in Europe while also supporting the Americas with more diverse supply options.
“Xytron is now widely recognized as one of the most high-performance, innovative, and sustainable PPS brands in the market. We are observing increased demand for Xytron, particularly from customers in Europe and the Americas. Our strategy focuses on increased convenience and better service, including increased agility for new product development and technical support, enhanced sample availability, shorter lead times and improved security of supply,” said Angela Zheng, Global Business manager for Xytron at Envalior.
Xytron PPS production in Uerdingen, Germany, is expected to begin in the second half of 2025.
