Sonnenwagen & Lechler: Racing ahead
Automotive refinish made easy
To give Team Sonnenwagen Aachen a competitive finish in the World Solar Challenge 2025, Lechler partnered with Covestro to co-develop an automotive refinish coating using our Pasquick® technology. This scalable solution accelerates application processes, enhances durability, and supports energy-efficient ambient cures, meeting the growing demand for high-performance refinish solutions in today’s market.
Sirca: From production bottleneck to breakthrough
Productivity without compromise
Sirca needed a more sustainable, high-quality kitchen furniture lacquer, but traditional water-based coatings were too slow, and solvent-based options failed to meet low-VOC requirements. By partnering with Covestro and using the Bayhydur® quix ultra hardener, the company created a fast-drying, water-based lacquer. This new system helped deliver a durable, more sustainable, and visually appealing finish without sacrificing production efficiency.
“The automotive refinish industry demands both peak performance and more sustainability. Our partnership with Covestro helped us to deliver on both fronts. We've not only created a versatile, high-performance refinish solution but also set a new benchmark for what's possible in the market.”
