Improved Industrial Hygiene with Excellent Adhesive Properties
Desmodur® Ultra E:
Aromatic and aliphatic prepolymers comprising of <0.1% monomeric diisocyanates.
Key Benefits:
- Can be used in the same way as the Desmodur® and Bayhydur® predecessors in your current formulations so you can continue to focus on your core business
- Makes easy-to-use 2K PU technology available
- State-of-the-art and technically equivalent to our existing products
STPs: The Chemistry Behind Next-Gen EV Battery Pack Solutions
Desmoseal ® S
- Silane-terminated polyurethanes (STP) combine the advantages of a polyurethane backbone and a silane based curing mechanism to provide excellent cohesive strength and adhesive properties.
- STP’s offer exceptional sealing properties, flexibility, and durability, making them ideal for adhering the top plate of the EV battery pack to the bottom compartment.
- Protects the internal components from moisture and contaminants, extending battery life and ensuring safety.
Smart Chemistry: MDI Innovation Simplifies Industrial Handling
Mondur® MA
- Allophanate-modified MDI products provide all of the performance of 4,4’ MDI without the handling and storage challenges
- Low viscosity liquid at room temperature allowing for high filler loading
- Excellent storage stability at room temperature
- Low functionality allowing for a wide formulating latitude
Construction
Transform your construction projects with Covestro's innovative adhesive solutions. Our advanced portfolio delivers superior bonding performance while meeting the highest safety and sustainability standards. Whether your application is flooring, roofing, sealants or rubber crumb bonding, we have a solution for you.
Furniture
Within the furniture market, our innovative raw material solutions enhance both aesthetics and functionality. Our specialized adhesive technologies serve two key segments: hard furniture applications, such as cabinet door lamination; and soft furniture manufacturing, where our adhesive raw materials deliver reliable foam-to-foam bonding.
Industrial
Our broad technology toolbox allows for creative solutions for the diverse industrial market. Covestro provides adhesives for use in engineered wood lamination and for metal and plastic assembly. These industrial adhesives can be customized to achieve specific characteristics, helping our customers succeed in their diverse end-use applications.
Sustainable Solutions
Covestro's CQ portfolio demonstrates our leadership in sustainable adhesive solutions through alternative raw materials. Moving beyond traditional fossil-based sources, we offer ISCC PLUS-certified mass-balanced products across our core adhesive components - MDI, TDI, polyols, aliphatics, and silane-terminated prepolymers. This innovative approach maintains identical product performance while significantly reducing carbon footprint, enabling customers to advance their sustainability goals without compromising on technical capabilities.
With customers increasingly focused on achieving climate neutrality, we’re revolutionizing environmental impact tracking through LifeCycle+, our customized digital platform. This integrated solution enables automated life cycle assessments (LCA) including product carbon footprint (PCF) calculations across our portfolio. By providing cradle-to-gate environmental impact data for 50,000 products and intermediates, we’re enabling transparent collaboration toward a circular economy while helping customers meet their sustainability objectives.
Our Ultra product line showcases an improved industrial hygiene standard. Using innovative low-monomer isocyanates and pre-polymers, containing less than 0.1% residual monomer content, this product line represents Covestro’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and occupational safety while meeting evolving market demands and regulatory requirements.
