German materials manufacturer Covestro inaugurated a new production line for high-performance thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) that will be used for production of paint protection films (PPF). The new line is located at the company’s existing site in Changhua, Taiwan. The investment and the expansion of its production capacities for high-performance thermoplastic polyurethanes at the site was announced in 2022.
At the inauguration of the new line, the company also launched its new Desmopan®UP TPU series. UP stands for "ultimate protection.” The series offers high durability, adaptability and aesthetics, protecting automotive surface coatings from harsh environmental conditions. The material can also be used to protect wind blades or screens of smart devices.
