Bayer Materials Innovation Automotive Coatings Technology Promotes Energy Saving and Emission Reduction

China Coatings Network
: Bayer Materials Technology has developed innovative and sustainable technologies for applying plastic parts such as bumpers, mirror covers and rear bezels for low-temperature operation. This innovative technology is based on the application of a thermal latent curing agent material.

initially form a uniform and complete film on the plastic surface. Only curing agents that reach a temperature of about 194 degrees Fahrenheit (90 degrees Celsius) will then be active. Thus, the coating of the plastic substrate can be cured quickly, and there is no need to make obvious changes to the coating formulation.
coating cures 30% faster than two-part polyurethane coatings without affecting appearance. Coating systems are suitable for plastic composite coatings, composites and metal substrates. In addition, low-temperature operation also promotes the use of alternative energy sources.
For car manufacturers, this will give them a huge time and cost advantage, as well as an opportunity for ecological savings: in-house research shows that the technology reduces energy consumption by 15 per cent and CO2 emissions by 10 per cent compared to existing maximum energy-efficient processes.
