For the first time in China, Covestro showcases 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.

Covestro’s advanced polymeric substrate concept for high-security printing.

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.

“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,” said Dr. Caroline Wolff, Head of Specialty Films for the Asia-Pacific region at Covestro.

Covestro presents the concept at the 19th Security Document Summit (SDS) in Beijing, China, on May 28-29. The company also presents a broad range of specialty films for secure ID documents—including its renowned Makrofol ID polycarbonate (PC) and Platilon TPU films.
