Coating and adhesive manufacturers are under pressure: They compete for market share, optimize their products in rapid succession, and must focus on efficiency while ensuring sustainability and regulatory compliance. At the same time, products need to become increasingly circular – without compromising the properties of a coating or adhesive. 

A critical factor in all of this: The right binders and crosslinkers. Their development takes place at material manufacturers like Covestro. The German company is now addressing these requirements by announcing that in the course of 2025, it will open a specifically developed, automated laboratory for optimizing coating and adhesive formulations to provide even better support to its customers.
