Based on the present, empowering high-quality development
Covestro has launched a series of bio-based and water-based polyurethane coatings and adhesive solutions, covering the four major areas of transportation, infrastructure, printing and packaging, and home life, aiming to continuously promote green and low-carbon transformation in various fields and boost China’s economic realization High quality and sustainable development.
In the field of automotive coatings, Covestro launches Bayhydrol® UH, a new generation of waterborne polyurethane dispersion (PUD)
2110. This product is mainly used in automotive paint systems and can replace traditional solvent-based paint systems. While ensuring the excellent color effect of automotive paints, its environmental protection advantages will further promote the sustainable development of the automotive paint industry.
In the field of automotive interiors, the newly upgraded two-component waterborne polyurethane Dispercoll® U
plus is applied to automotive interior bonding. This product not only takes into account the environmental protection advantages of low VOC and low odor, but also improves the moisture and heat resistance of automotive interiors, which is sufficient to meet the challenges of extreme high temperature weather and ensure the long-term stability of the bonding performance of interior adhesives.
In the field of construction, Covestro launched a locally developed and produced hydrophilic isocyanate curing agent Bayhydur® ultra
309. This product is used in floor and wall coatings. While reducing the gloss of the paint film, it can take into account the ease of cleaning and scratch resistance of the coating surface, and is easy to construct. It can provide customers with high performance, environmental protection and Cost-effective all-in-one solution.
In the fields of printing and packaging, Covestro has developed the Recovery® CQ 6200 and the Recovery® CQ 6400 respectively
Some bio-based resins, the former suitable for inks and primers, and the latter tailored for bottle label adhesives. This series of green solutions uses sustainable raw materials to help reduce carbon footprint and protect production in all aspects
Link sustainable development and guarantee the safety of consumers.
In this field, NeoCryl® A
1137 is another innovative product of Covestro. This is a water-based self-crosslinking acrylic copolymer emulsion, which can be used as a primer for UV inks, providing excellent adhesion and printability, and can be applied to flexo and gravure film surface printing inks. Developed based on water-based technology, this packaging film solution provides a more environmentally friendly low-VOC solution for film applications.
In the home furnishing field, Bayhydur® ultra locally developed by Covestro
307/1 hydrophilic polyisocyanate curing agent can be applied to two-component waterborne wood coatings to meet the needs of the local market. The structure of the product is carefully designed to greatly improve the compatibility with hydroxyl resins, so as to achieve better film transparency and physical and chemical properties. At the same time, the product also has a cost-effective advantage.
