I Helped Make This: Apollo Wearable

Isaac Platte works as a Senior Application Development Engineer in our Engineering Plastics group. He creates materials that power the next generation of wellness devices – including wearables that can help track your health.

The Apollo wearable is designed to help your body adapt to stress—so you can feel calmer, more energized, and sleep more soundly.

Behind that experience is Covestro material innovation.

A specialized polycarbonate blend delivers the durability and chemical resistance needed to keep up with everyday life—while staying lightweight and comfortable enough to wear around the clock.
