In response to evolving trends in industries such as automotive and footwear, Covestro has developed several innovative adhesive solutions that prioritize performance, efficiency and sustainability. Unveiled at the 27th China Adhesive and Tape Annual Conference, which opened September 5 in Hefei, these locally developed solutions, branded Dispercoll® U and Dispercoll® U PLUS, support iterative upgrades in downstream industries through raw material innovations.
In line with trends toward lightweight and customized designs in the athletic shoe market, Covestro has launched the Dispercoll® U high-performance waterborne polyurethane adhesive solution. It is specifically engineered for bonding-challenging special shoe materials and can enhance manufacturing efficiency while supporting energy savings and carbon reduction. With exceptional initial tack performance, the solution can bond lightweight, temperature-sensitive substrates and accommodate innovative shoe designs, resulting in smoother handling and increased productivity. Additionally, its activation temperature can be reduced from 55°C to 35°C, leading to lower energy consumption and reduced carbon emissions during the thermal activation process.
