Evonik Industries supports patient-friendly health care with a number of product developments for the pharmaceutical industry. We offer technology for optimal transport of active ingredients within the body, so that a single daily dose of a drug is all that is needed, an agreeable solution that greatly simplifies the drug regimen.

Evonik also ensures good vision. Globally advancing industrialization and higher living standards have increased the demand for correction of visual defects. With improvement in wearing comfort, the proportion of contact lens users has been increasing steadily, particularly in the industrialized countries. Soft contact lenses with high dimensional stability, oxygen permeability, and water absorption capacity are produced mainly from ultrapure methacrylates. Evonik is one of the world's leading producers of monomers for this sensitive application.
