Covestro polycarbonate meets industrial automation diversification

Under the mission of intelligent upgrading of the manufacturing industry, the upgrading and integration of a series of equipment such as sensors, human-computer interaction, and digital control systems are trying their best to break the boundary between digital and physical, so as to realize the imagination of the Internet of Everything, and the level of industrial automation will be improved unprecedentedly. Among them, materials are the prerequisite to ensure that all technical concepts are put into reality and run stably, and they are also an indispensable part in the process of realizing intelligent manufacturing. At present, chemical companies such as Covestro have already aimed at this trend, and accordingly launched a variety of polycarbonate solutions to help the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry.

For intelligent upgrades, Covestro has launched a portfolio of diversified material solutions. Its engineering plastic polycarbonate Makrolon series has excellent flame retardancy, impact resistance and high temperature resistance, which can ensure the stable operation and safe production of mechanical equipment, and can also expand performance for specific functions of hardware to better to meet the needs of use.

Take connectors as an example, especially for connectors working in special occasions, temperature, humidity, shock, vibration and chemicals will all have a certain impact on the performance of the connector, so the material of the connector must have the ability to resist complex and harsh environments . Covestro's polycarbonate Makrolon series materials have excellent impact resistance, rigidity, chemical resistance, and high and low temperature resistance, which enable the connector to connect and transmit electricity stably in diverse environments, and improve the accuracy of equipment control.

At present, Covestro polycarbonate material has accumulated rich experience in display screens and interactive panels. It can have excellent transparency, toughness, optical properties and easy processing, and is suitable for various intelligent chemical factory scenarios such as human-computer interaction interfaces, driver displays and interactive panels.

In addition, power supply is the prerequisite to guarantee all intelligent upgrades. For the main power distribution system, Covestro's polycarbonate material has excellent anti-ultraviolet and anti-aging characteristics, which can effectively cope with the external loss caused by the difference between high and low temperature in the outdoor environment and environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays. Similarly, for molded case circuit breakers and miniature circuit breakers, Covestro provides Makrolon polycarbonate material with high transparency and dimensional stability, which protects internal parts, facilitates maintenance personnel to check the status of switches, and makes the appearance more beautiful. The material supports laser marking, and the permanent and clear marking makes daily operation safer and more stable.

Not only that, polycarbonate solutions can also be widely used in richer scenarios such as servo drives, programmable logic controllers, and distributed control systems, and maintain stable and efficient operation of the production process through reliable performance. Smart manufacturing based on the Internet and with smart devices as the key pushes the industry to a new level. Along with technological and technological innovation, Covestro will promote development with its industrial chain partners with its advanced technologies and solutions.
