Covestro opened a thermoplastic-polyurethane application-development center in Guangzhou on May 20, 2026. Paint-protection film was among the markets identified for the facility, alongside electronics, footwear and other applications.
The company said co-located Engineering Plastics staff would support compounding and color matching, including PPF applications. Specialty Films staff would provide pilot production and finished-product commissioning, while simulation equipment would help customers test processing conditions.
The center complements Covestro’s production site in Zhuhai and regional research operation in Changhua. This is a development-network expansion, not a disclosed increase in finished PPF output. The opening release did not state a center-specific investment amount or production-capacity figure.
