High-tech polymers and plastics in general are omnipresent in today’s auto interior, and seats and interior trim represent a significant part of the vehicle’s mass. Sustainability is becoming a paramount value of the industry, and that’s especially true for plastics. The K Fair—the world’s top trade show for plastics and rubbers—will happen next month in Düsseldorf, Germany. It covers all industries using polymers and elastomers, including automotive, and will surely be a fantastic opportunity to learn about the innovative new materials and technologies. In the runup to the fair, DVN Interior talked with Covestro—a longtime DVN member and leading supplier of high-tech polymers across wide swaths of the automotive world. This week’s in-depth article brings you a preview of Covestro’s K Fair showcase. It’s a sparkling demonstration of what this important supplier is working on. And at the end of October we’ll be presenting you with a detailed report on the relevant exhibits and innovations at the K Fair.
Because of the abundant news this week, we’re holding off until next week on coverage of the DVN Workshop held in China last week.
Hope you enjoy this week’s newsletter. Please always feel free to send in your questions and comments; we welcome your feedback as we work to make DVN-I better and better!
Sincerely yours,
