Covestro to Showcase Innovative Polycarbonates for Lighting and Building Technology
#Covestro #Polycarbonates #Lighting #BuildingTechnologyComplex optical measurement processes can be used to create digital twins and thus photorealistic renderings that allow the appearance of the finished product to be recognized at an early stage without the need to produce complex prototypes.
February 2024 : At the Light + Building trade fair from 3rd March to 8th March 2024 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Covestro will be showcasing a wide range of innovative material developments for the lighting and building industry, including the current trends of ‘electrification’ and ‘smart connectivity’. In line with the increasing demand for more sustainable products, the company also offers Makrolon R polycarbonates made from mechanically recycled plastic waste, and ISCC PLUS-certified, mass-balanced grades from the Makrolon RE range using biowaste and residual materials.
The company’s stand A39 in Hall 8.0 will showcase commercial luminaires from well-known manufacturers using these more sustainable types of plastic, as well as switches and sockets from the SAGA series from ABB, a leading technology company in the fields of electrification and automation, in which Makrolon RE is used.
However, Covestro not only offers the right plastics for increasing technical and sustainability requirements, but also supports customers from conception through product and design development to commercialization. The company’s application and material experts strive to meet customer requirements in terms of colors, materials and surface finishes (Colour, Material, Finish; CMF). This also includes close cooperation with industrial designers.
Realistic virtual prototypes: The use of digital technologies in particular contributes to accelerated product development. Complex optical measurement processes can be used to create digital twins and thus photorealistic renderings that allow the appearance of the finished product to be recognized at an early stage without the need to produce complex prototypes. New colour trends will be presented at the trade fair stand and digital materials can be tried out on a wallbox rendering on site.
On 5th March, Covestro expert Dr. Niklas Meine will give a presentation entitled “Smart Plastics Solutions for a Circular Economy – Combining Performance, Aesthetics and Sustainability” at stand B60 in hall 5.0 from 2:30 pm.
