INVENTINGVISIONS FOR YOU
As your leading partner for polyurethane chemistry, we know you are competing in increasingly challenging environments: Your customers are becoming more and more demanding in their expectations for quality, dura-bility, sustainability and aesthetics of products. And they have more choices. For you this means that cost pressure is rising – while innovation cycles are becoming faster and faster.
Helping you to turn this challenge into your competitive advantage is the goal that drives our daily work. We call it: INVENTING FOR YOU. But what exactly are the basic values underlying this promise? What principles enable us to improve your productivity, drive sustainability, ensure reliability and co-create future-proof businesses? First and foremost, we are curious. Because only if we listen closely to you and ask the right questions, we can respond to your individual needs with new, creative and unexpected solutions that make a real difference to you. That’s why inventing for us always starts with thinking about your unmet business challenges. It requires an indepth understanding of your needs along the whole value chain. To make sure: What we invent stands the test of time. Living up to this aspiration requires more than competencies – it calls for a corporate culture of being courageous. A culture that is defined and lived by dedicated people who cooperate to push the boundaries of invention founded on knowledge and experience. Our courage permeates our entire business – from partnerships to business models. This is also reflected in our colorful business philosophy. We appreciate partnerships that go beyond traditional black-and-white ways of acting and thinking. An attitude of open-ness that invites you to co-create new things – rather enabling you than just providing. We are optimistic and resourceful in finding solutions that inspire our customers and partners.
This set of fundamental values adds up to an unrivaled performance orien-tation to constantly strive for the better, be it through big or small changes. A true sense of business regardless of function. And a deep commitment to delivering our promise everyday. Anywhere. Again and again.
INVENTING FOR YOU.

Outstanding quality and supply security – worldwideCovestro, the world’s leading manufacturer of aliphatic and aromatic isocyanates, offers an extensive range of raw materials and services for the coatings and adhesives industry. This allows the very latest technology to be used extremely effectively for a variety of applications. Thanks to its unique setup and worldwide network of state-of-the-art production sites, R&D facilities and customer technical centers, industry-leading supply chain setup, global orientation and local stocks, extremely large product portfolio, highest health, safety and environmental (HSE) standards, as well as tailored supply chain flexibility with short lead times, Covestro offers the industry unrivaled supply security and assured quality.
Solutions to enhance your process efficiencyNowadays, the quality demands made on industrial processes are very high. But at the time, there is a clear need to cut costs. Both goals can be achieved by increasing process efficiency. At Covestro we have a wide range of solutions designed to enhance your process efficiency. Why not take advantage of our know-how? These solutions will be good for your bottom line.
High coating performance – enabled by natureSustainability drives innovation at Covestro. We are committed to optimizing our manufacturing processes, reducing the impact of logistics, and enabling sustainability along the value chains. Renewable feedstocks offer opportunities for developing more sustainable building blocks for coating solutions – with significant potential for reducing the carbon footprint of end products while also reducing our overall dependence on fossil-based resources. But to make more sustainable solutions not just possible but also economically feasible, the performance of all our feedstocks needs to satisfy high industry standards. To this end, we are evaluating the use of renewable raw materials and will enlarge our product portfolio with new bio-based and mid- to long-term cost-competitive products, provided the raw materials become commercially available. In all these efforts we are committed to focusing on products that perform at least as well as es-tablished products but are at the same time more sustainable.

Pioneering polyurethane chemistryEver since the discovery by Otto Bayer of the poly isocyanate-polyaddition process in 1937, Bayer – now Covestro – has pioneered poly urethane chemistry. 50 years ago, Bayer – now Covestro – developed the first applications using polyisocya-nates for the coatings and adhesives sectors. We work closely with our customers to systematically advance the state of the art in polyurethane techno-logy. Using market-oriented research and develop-ment, we specifically adapt our product portfolio to our customers’ increasingly stringent requirements. Together with you, we want to continue our suc-cessful journey along this path.
Wide variety of applicationsOur polyisocyanates comprise a broad range of products for one and two-component (1K/2K) polyurethane systems used in numerous applica-tions. Whether as crosslinkers for 2K polyurethane coatings and adhesives, blocked polyisocyanates for 1K polyurethane baking coatings or hydro- philized polyisocyanates as crosslinkers for water- reducible polyurethane systems, our products come into play wherever crosslinking is used to achieve high resistances and reliable adhesion under efficient conditions. Our solutions are in use today in a variety of applications, such as auto- motive OEMs, automotive refinishing and coatings for wood, industrial goods and plastics. They are also used in reactive adhesives, textile coatings, and anticorrosion coatings.
Customized propertiesGloss, leveling, scratch resistance, hardness and flexibility can be precisely adjusted by the choice of polyisocyanate and polyol. Chemical resistance, adhesion, light fastness and weather stability are additional properties that can be in-dividually adapted to your specific requirements. Moreover, coatings with easy-to-clean, soft-touch or reflow properties can also be produced through smart formulations.
Flexibility in prepolymersOur product range of prepolymers comprises aromatic and aliphatic NCO- and silane termi- nated products. These prepolymers make a wide range of properties possible in coatings, adhesives and sealants. The typical areas of application include wood coatings, corrosion protection, floor coatings, elastic adhesives in transportation, parquet adhesives, engineered wood constructions, flex ible film lamination and sealants. Prepolymers with a low fraction of non-polymer-bound components open up formu-lation options for producing reactive polyurethane adhesive and sealants that are not subject to labeling requirements.
