Evonik Jayhawk Fine Chemicals Corporation and Nexam Chemical AB have begun a
joint-marketing program, whereby Evonik's JAYHAWK dianhydrides and Nexam
Chemical's NEXIMID® cross-linkers will be offered in a coordinated effort to the
growing polyimide market sector.
Evonik and Nexam Chemical will collaborate on modifying and improving polyimide

Customers will benefit from consultation in product selection, pairing and
optimal dosing to achieve desired properties of their polyimide coatings, films,
fibers, foams and resins.

was the “Empowering Polyimides” webinar, narrated by Dr. Carlos Solano, Product
Manager for Nexam Chemical. The participation and lively Q&A period frankly
overwhelmed us. This positive proof that the industry is thirsty for knowledge
on how to use our products together has led us to move into a market
collaboration."
