Segment: Coatings, Adhesives and Specialties
As your leading partner for polyurethane (PU) chemistry, we know that superior PU raw materials are the building blocks of exceptional coatings. Thus, we want to make our invention power work for you – by improving your productivity, driving sustainability, ensuring reliability and co-creating future-proof businesses. We have more than 75 years of experience in polyurethane chemistry research and development. We continue to develop PU raw materials for coatings systems for use in many industries and applications. Such as DESMODUR® eco N – the world’s first PU cross-linker made from 70 percent biomass.

Desmodur® eco N 7300 is a new curing agent from Covestro for polyurethane coatings and made partially from biomass. Its foundation is pentamethylene diisocyanate, a revolutionary innovation in polyurethane chemistry as it is the first diisocyanate in 30 years to be fully developed and scaled-up.
With 70 percent carbon content derived from non-fossil-based inputs, Desmodur® eco N 7300 aliphatic isocyanate is the first polyurethane crosslinker to feature significant renewable content. It is on par with conventional curing agents for coatings and adhesives, and for some properties even surpasses it. Paints and adhesives formulated with Desmodur® eco N 7300 can be used in diverse applications – automotive, furniture, consumer electronics – potentially wherever HDI trimers are used.
