Covestro will bring new technologies such as water-based polyurethane textile coatings to the Techtextil 2019

Cosco said it will bring New ® technology from Inininn's water-based textile coatings and water-based polyurethane dispersions to Techtextil 2019.
it is understood that Techtextil is an international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens, which will be held again in Frankfurt from 14 to 17 May 2019. According to Cosco, visitors can also get information about skin-kissing coatings for medical textiles, such as new TPU fibers and thin film solutions for smart textiles

highlight of the show was the breathable and waterproof outdoor
clothing
. It is designed to protect joggers or hikers from the rain, but at the same time allow sweat to drain from their skin. Using Inin ® technology, textiles can be coated with water-based polyurethane (PU) dispersants without the use of solvents. Breathable textiles give a comfortable feel. This is guaranteed by an ® coating based on imppraperm®dl 5310 dispersion and a surface coating based on imppraperm®dl 5249. Both products also provide the features they want for backpacks, shoes and gloves.biodegradable textile coatingsit is becoming increasingly important to consider the entire product cycle, including end-of-life behavior, when assessing the sustainability of textiles. With IMPRANIL®DLN-SD, Cosco Ventures offers a water-based polyurethane dispersion that biodegrades through microorganisms at the end of the product life cycle. Initial internal testing of pure polymer films free of additives confirmed this. Raw materials make biodegradable coatings and composite solutions possible, helping to achieve a modern circular economy. Under OECD standard 301, more than half of the dispersions degrade within 28 days. This percentage is significantly higher than acrylic film-forming agents.adipose polyurethane dispersion IMPRANIL®DLN-SD can be used to prepare highly light-resistant coatings for adhesives, intermediate coatings and surface coatings. They are also suitable for other product applications, such as latex gloves and packaging.new TPU fiberat techtextil conference in 2019, Cosmodros will also present a new fiber made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). It is more wear-resistant than conventional polyethylene benzoate glycol fibers and can be hot-pressurized at lower temperatures. At the same time, it also has tear resistance and good touch. Fiber can be used in footwear, functional textiles, sports accessories and casual wear.Innovative Thin Film Solutions for Smart TextilesThe use of printed electronics is becoming increasingly important in the healthcare sector and in the increasingly digital of leisure time, and Cosco has developed a range of skin-sensitive film solutions to meet the requirements of lightweight and very comfortable smart textile designs. Smart textiles are an important application, for example for biometrics, diagnostics and drug management. For example, Platilon ® thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film for continuous monitoring of important functions and accurate performance measurements. Conductive inks can be safely applied to the membrane to achieve this. Installed in the soles of the shoe, patient data can be recorded and evaluated directly by electronic devices.medical sustainable textile coatingsrecently, Cosco is also developing medical textile coatings. These include surgical clothing, hospital mattresses, medical
,
, and even bandages. At Techtextil 2019, the company will provide raw materials for sustainable water-based textile coatings with good tactile and anti-disinfectant capabilities, as well as latex-free adhesive bandages for compression therapy and secondary fixation.
