Covestro launched Desmopan庐 FLY, an advanced Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) series specifically engineered for supercritical fluid (SCF) foaming technology. This high-performance material solution addresses the growing demand for lightweight, performance, and sustainable footwear design while expanding possibilities across sport gears, furniture and electronic products. Desmopan庐 FLY features an advanced formulation that enables superior supercritical fluid dispersion during the molding process, resulting in uniform fine-cell structured foams with outstanding mechanical properties. For footwear applications, this translates into midsoles with superior cushioning and energy return properties, and long-lasting comfort performance. The absence of chemical blowing agents and crosslinking additives ensures recyclability of the midsole; when combined with soft TPU outsole, the whole sole system supports circular economy initiatives. 鈥淟eading sports brands are driving unprecedented demand for materials that combine elite performance with strong environmental credentials,鈥� says Wilson Chan, Head of Business Development TPU Asia Pacific at Covestro. 鈥淒esmopan庐 FLY brings exceptional lightweight and resilience properties while maintaining dimensional stability and durability throughout the product lifecycle. Its optimised processing enables efficient production through automated injection molding, allowing brands to create high-performance, recyclable footwear that meets demanding consumer expectations.鈥� In a pioneering industry move, Covestro has installed the advanced SCF injection foaming system at its TPU Asia-Pacific R&D Center in Taiwan. This facility enables Covestro to provide comprehensive R&D support and rapid application services for customers鈥� specific requirements, demonstrating Covestro鈥檚 ongoing commitment to advancing footwear material solutions and supporting the industry鈥檚 evolution. 鈥淥ur investment in the SCF injection foaming system marks another milestone in Covestro鈥檚 continuous innovation journey,鈥� explains Dr Christian Haessler, Head of Global Innovation TPU at Covestro. 鈥淭his in-house capability enables us to optimise TPU material properties with precise SCF processing parameters. By being among the first in the industry to integrate this advanced technology within our R&D center, we can effectively combine TPU material and SCF injection expertise to accelerate customers鈥� development from concepts to commercial production.鈥� The combination of SCF foaming technology and Desmopan庐 FLY delivers an energy-efficient manufacturing process that reduces the overall carbon footprint. The automated injection process integrates multiple components in a single step, enabling substantial production efficiency while maintaining consistent, high-quality output. Desmopan庐 FLY is now commercially available, supported by Covestro鈥檚 comprehensive technical expertise and advanced in-house facilities. This integrated material and technology platform empowers sports brands in their journey toward advanced footwear solutions, combining performance, sustainability and production efficiency.
