Covestro has always been committed to providing innovative solutions for the industry and has developed many industry benchmark products. Could you introduce what significant achievements have been made so far and what unique advantages do you have?

科思創(chuàng) Covestro

科思創(chuàng)作為聚氨酯技術(shù)的發(fā)明企業(yè)，有著很多耳熟能詳?shù)拿餍钱a(chǎn)品，例如Desmodur®ultra N固化劑、Dispercoll® U水性聚氨酯分散體。當(dāng)涂料和膠粘劑行業(yè)不斷發(fā)展時，科思創(chuàng)致力于引領(lǐng)行業(yè)創(chuàng)新，助力行業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

As the inventor of polyurethane technology, Covestro has many well-known products, such as Desmodur® ultra N crosslinkers and Dispercoll® U waterborne polyurethane dispersions. As the coating and adhesive industry continues to develop, Covestro is committed to leading industry innovation and helping set industry standards.

我們的產(chǎn)品服務(wù)于很多的下游應(yīng)用行業(yè)。以汽車行業(yè)為例，Desmodur® ultra N系列固化劑產(chǎn)品已廣泛應(yīng)用于雙組分聚氨酯汽車清漆，憑借其優(yōu)異的漆膜外觀、耐候性和抗石擊性，樹立了高性能汽車涂料的標(biāo)桿。同時，該系列產(chǎn)品的殘余單體含量低于0.1%，在工業(yè)衛(wèi)生方面也樹立了新標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。隨著越來越多汽車制造企業(yè)關(guān)注減碳的話題，科思創(chuàng)也推出了部分生物基固化劑Desmodur® CQ ultra N7300，它含有70%可再生碳含量，這些碳主要來源于不與食物鏈競爭的植物淀粉原料，可以顯著降低雙組分聚氨酯清漆的碳足跡。此外，它只需極少的配方調(diào)整，就保持與化石基固化劑相似的高性能。目前，我們正在亞太地區(qū)與產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈的合作方共同推進(jìn)產(chǎn)品的驗證。

Our products serve many downstream application industries. Taking the automotive industry as an example, the Desmodur® ultra N series of crosslinkers have been widely used in two-component polyurethane automotive clear coats, setting a benchmark for high-performance automotive coatings with their excellent film appearance, weather resistance, and stone chip resistance. At the same time, the residual monomer content of this series of products is less than 0.1%, also setting a new standard in industrial hygiene. As more and more automobile manufacturers focus on carbon reduction, Covestro has also launched the partially bio-based curing agent Desmodur® CQ ultra N7300, which contains 70% renewable carbon content, mainly derived from plant starch raw materials that do not compete with the food chain, and can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of two-component polyurethane clear coats. In addition, it maintains similar high performance to fossil-based curing agents with minimal formulation adjustments. Currently, we are working with partners in the value chain in the Asia Pacific to promote product validation.

此外，作為汽車內(nèi)飾膠水性化的先驅(qū)，科思創(chuàng)的水性聚氨酯分散體Dispercoll® U 54和U 56因其優(yōu)異的初黏性和持黏時間，成功地應(yīng)用于汽車內(nèi)飾件包覆膠。在此基礎(chǔ)上，針對極端高溫天氣對內(nèi)飾抗老化能力的挑戰(zhàn)，科思創(chuàng)又進(jìn)一步推出了Dispercoll® U 86 PLUS和U 88 PLUS水性聚氨酯分散體。該新升級方案兼顧低VOC、低氣味等環(huán)保優(yōu)勢，提高了產(chǎn)品的耐高溫和耐濕熱性能，保障內(nèi)飾膠粘劑粘接表現(xiàn)長期穩(wěn)定性，從而能輕松駕馭各種內(nèi)飾包覆應(yīng)用場景。

In addition, as a pioneer in the waterborne transformation of automotive interior adhesives, Covestro's waterborne polyurethane dispersions Dispercoll® U 54 and U 56 have been successfully applied to automotive interiors bonding due to their excellent initial tack and open time. Building on this, in response to the challenge of extreme high-temperature weather on the aging resistance of interior parts, Covestro further launched Dispercoll® U 86 PLUS and U 88 PLUS waterborne polyurethane dispersions. This new upgraded solution combines low VOC, low odor, and other environmental advantages, improves the product's high-temperature and humid heat resistance, ensures the long-term stability of interior adhesive bonding performance, and can easily handle various interior covering application scenarios.

這樣的例子還有很多。科思創(chuàng)從不滿足于現(xiàn)狀，通過持續(xù)的產(chǎn)品創(chuàng)新，我們?yōu)榭蛻魟?chuàng)造更多的價值，推動行業(yè)高質(zhì)量發(fā)展。

There are many such examples. Covestro is never satisfied with the status quo. Through continuous product innovation, we create more value for customers and promote high-quality development of the industry.
