Covestro Expands Production for Coating Materials

Covestro opened a new polyester resin production line in Meppen, Germany, on 3 November 2026, according to its announcement published on 4 November.

Investment in coating materials

The multi-million-euro project supports resin production for industrial coatings and adhesives. The line can also produce intermediates for polyurethane dispersions. Existing filling facilities were upgraded and a heat recovery system installed.

MKK® sector assessment

For architectural wrapping and furniture protection, material selection should connect supplier documentation with the actual substrate and intended use. A resin investment alone cannot establish that a transparent film is suitable for marble, lacquer or varnished wood.

When selecting SPF (Surface Protection Film), the film, adhesive and existing surface should be considered together. Sample assessment, care requirements and removal behaviour remain relevant to table and furniture protection projects.

Scope of the announcement

This is a resin capacity announcement, not a launch of a finished TPU/SPF furniture protection film. MKK® covers it as a development in the coatings supply chain.
