Pingtung Site of Taiwan as the appointed production site in APAC
Covestro expands production of its NIA-PFAS super-durable flexible powder coating polyester (Uralac Premium P 8000 and P 9000) to the Asia-Pacific region, addressing global climate challenges and evolving regulatory requirements on PFAS.
The company’s Pingtung Site will now supply this trend-setting high-end environmental solution, which outperforms conventional super-durable polyester resins while effectively extending the service life of GSB Premium building materials and heavy equipment for agricultural, construction, and earth-moving applications. Now, through localized supply, the initiative further reduces the carbon footprint from long-distance transportation, supporting Covestro “Sustainable Future” strategy and implementing its commitment to achieve Scope 3 climate neutrality by 2050.
“International regulations continue to drive the transformation of industrial materials,” said Tina Jin, Business Director of Powder Coating Resins Asia at Covestro. “Covestro is committed to developing next-generation coating resins that combine environmental sustainability with high performance, actively addressing industry innovations alongside our customers. This leading solution has been produced and promoted in Europe since 2023, and we are pleased to see the Asia-Pacific region now offering customer-centric services with both reliable local supply and sustainable value.”
Covestro’s next-generation outdoor powder coating solution - Uralac Premium P 8000 and P 9000, as NIA-PFAS coating polyesters, can replace fluorocarbon systems (PVDF/FEVE) for weather-resistant resins.
