Blends and compounds – made of Desmopan®

Covestro AG and its partners collaborate on combining Desmopan® with various materials and on alternative types of granulate,
including powders. The resulting TPU-based products are produced and marketed by partner companies. They can be used to
make innovative products with new property sets and to develop new markets.

Desmovit® –
custom
TPU compounds

Desmovit® is the trade name for a reinforced

compound based on Desmopan® thermo-
plastic polyurethane and additives.

The Desmovit® product range meets a

variety of specific customer requirements.
It is continuously tailored to highly diverse
fields of application and enhanced to com-
plement the classic and proven Desmopan®
grades and fulfill new customer requests.

Compounds with different stiffnesses are

available, incorporating glass and natural
fibers, electrically conductive compounds
and various color and function batches.
