Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are gaining attention for a wide range of applications, from automotive interiors and shoe soles to irrigation hoses and 3D printed parts, due to their ease of fine-tuning and wide adaptability. Faced with this trend, TPU manufacturers need to look for more sustainable sources of raw materials as consumers in all fields begin to pay attention to the issue of recycled plastics.
As one of the world leaders in polymers, we help customers transition to a more circular economy by improving the sustainability of the raw materials used in TPU plastics and reducing their carbon footprint without compromising product performance. environmental reputation.
Covestro TPU Desmopan® CQ portfolio: sustainable solutions for the next generation of TPU materials
The portfolio with CQ as the Desmopan® brand suffix represents that our Circular Economy (CE) vision is becoming a reality: the use of renewable and non-traditional raw materials such as waste or biomass feedstocks (separated or mass balance feedstocks) , demonstrating our circular IQ and our ambition to transition to climate neutrality. With every solution, every progress is made.
Products with the CQ suffix are produced using partially alternative raw materials - such as waste, biomass and/or carbon capture and/or renewable energy feedstocks. These material solutions can come from separated or mass-balanced feedstocks.
