• Akulon® RePurposed a high-performance polymer made from recycled fishing nets collected from the Indian Ocean and is used by Samsung in key components across its Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Tab S8 series in an industry-first smartphone application. It is also at the center of DSM’s successful partnership with Schneider Electric for its Merten range of sustainable home socket and switch solutions, and with Ford Motor Company in the Ford Bronco Sport – recognized by Ford as the first of many potential applications in a major vehicle platform.
• Several bio-based mass-balanced polymers, which unlock a huge range of more sustainable applications across demanding consumer products, automotive and sports. Ranging from 75% to 100% bio-based mass-balanced content, solutions include Akulon® PA6 B-MB line, specific grades in the Arnitel® TPC B-MB family, and an industry-first bio-based mass-balanced high-temperature polyamide PA46 as an exciting addition to the flagship Stanyl® brand.

• DSM has expanded its CTI testing capabilities to support the production of higher-voltage drive trains with shorter charging times.
• DSM’s Xytron® G4024T material, which significantly improves the efficiency and durability of electric vehicle water pumps, was developed in collaboration with leading global manufacturers.
• A similar partnership in China led to a breakthrough in extending the product lifetimes of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) through the durable Xytron PPS material. This enables customers to produce cheaper, safer, and more reliable hydrogen-powered commercial transport vehicles.
• DSM has continued to innovate in lightweighting structural parts through its ForTii® PA4T PPA, Akulon® PA6 and PA66 materials, as well as Advanced Thermoplastic Composites.

• DSM Engineering Materials has developed a full suite of new industry-first digital services that will support customers in their efficient design and development of next-generation products. These new online services that will be showcased were built through close external partnerships with field experts and customers.
