For the first time in China, Covestro will showcase its advanced polymeric substrate concept for high-security printing—an innovative film-based solution offering excellent dimensional stability, print clarity, tamper resistance, and long-term durability for secure documents that must endure frequent handling and harsh environments.
Based on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film technology, the concept supports multi-layer security features, high-precision personalization, and compatibility with various printing and finishing techniques. Its recyclability also aligns with the industry’s shift toward more sustainable solutions. Covestro will present the concept at the upcoming 19th Security Document Summit (SDS) in Beijing.
“We are excited to present our TPU-based security printing concept at SDS in China, a key market for Covestro,” said Dr. Caroline Wolff, Head of Specialty Films for the Asia-Pacific region at Covestro. “China is not only a global manufacturing hub but also one of the leaders in innovation and adoption of advanced materials. SDS gives us a valuable opportunity to engage local experts and better align our solutions with evolving needs in secure document applications.”
In addition to this new concept, Covestro will present a broad range of specialty films for secure ID documents—including its renowned Makrofol® ID polycarbonate (PC) and Platilon® TPU films. Highlights include:
- Scratch- and tear-resistant passport covers
- Thin, high opaque white PC films for sophisticated clear window designs
- Superlaser PC films enabling Level 3 security post-personalization
- PC films for brighter holograms
- Low-fluorescence PC films
- PC films with color shifting effect and more
