Textile coatings and demonstrator

Covestro will present waterborne, partially bio‑based and mass‑balanced polyurethane (PU) coating technologies, including INSQIN®; a concept automotive door panel developed with Marquardt Group and E Ink integrates a responsive e‑paper display behind a transparent PU‑coated synthetic surface to balance display visibility and interior haptics.

TPU cushioning and foaming

Desmopan® AIR is presented as a thermo‑mechanically recyclable TPU for cushioning and monomaterial designs; Desmopan® FLY is an ultra‑flexible, low‑viscosity TPU formulated for supercritical fluid (SCF) foam injection molding to produce thin, durable, lightweight films and textile components.
