At present, China's automobile industry has shifted from high-speed growth to...Structural Adjustment and UpgradingAt this stage, the industrial sector is also striving to explore.Responding to climate challenges and accelerating green transformation.The breakthrough path. As an important supporting industry in the automotive and industrial sectors, coating is empowering paints with more professional values such as low carbon, environmental protection, safety, and durability through material technology innovation, thereby providing support for the transformation and upgrading of downstream industries.

Based on deep insights into industry trends, both parties will focus on two main areas: automotive and industrial coatings. They will concentrate on OEM coatings, components, touch-up paints, as well as applications in rolled steel, construction machinery, wind power, and photovoltaics.Development of low-carbon materials, technological innovation, energy efficiency improvement, VOC emission reductionWe aim to engage in deep collaboration in various aspects, expecting to promote higher quality and more sustainable development of the industry by strengthening the coordination of upstream and downstream parts of the supply chain.

The cooperation focuses on multiple application scenarios in the two major areas of automotive and industrial coatings.

The signing of this agreement marks the exploration of a new path for cooperation and development between Covestro and Nippon Paint.Mutual benefit through "two-way journey"Over the years, both parties have accumulated rich collaborative experience in product development and material innovation. At the 2022 China International Import Expo, Nippon Paint, in partnership with Covestro, launched a groundbreaking bio-based automotive coating solution. The two parties overcame key technological challenges, and by using this bio-based solution in conjunction with gradient color paints, they achieved a matte finish. This innovation aims to meet the automotive industry's demand for excellent performance, personalized appearance, and green carbon reduction.

The renewed collaboration at this Expo marks the extension of the partnership from automotive painting to broader industrial application scenarios. Through deeper-level technical co-research and resource integration, it aims to build a comprehensive coverage from raw materials to finished products.Comprehensive Low-Carbon Coating System。

Leveraging the "all-encompassing" Expo, Covestro will continue to harness its platform's spillover effects, driving green upgrades in the industry through low-carbon materials and innovative technologies in collaboration with partners.
