Pittsburgh, December 20, 2019 — Faster, smaller, tougher and connected. In the fast-paced world of electronics, IT and communications technologies, it’s all about the race for what’s next. At CES 2020 — the global stage for the latest consumer product technologies — Covestro will demonstrate how, as a materials innovation partner, it enables current cutting-edge technologies and also helps bring next-gen technologies to market. Covestro is believed to be the only plastics supplier exhibiting at CES 2020.
“While 5G is what’s next, our customers are accustomed to a certain level of performance based on today’s applications. There is an expectation that no matter how far-reaching the impact of 5G connectivity on the device world, performance cannot suffer,” explains Joel Matsco, senior marketing manager, Polycarbonates – Electrical, Electronics and Appliances, Covestro LLC. “That’s why we believe in collaborating with our customers at an early stage, helping them to overcome potential product design, engineering and materials challenges. This approach accelerates innovation, which is particularly critical given the rapid electronics product life cycle.”
Visitors to the booth (313 in Smart Cities, Tech East, Westgate) will get a firsthand look at how Covestro solutions are enabling smart mobility, smart living and smart infrastructure:
- The company will lead-off with new 5G antenna concepts, battery housings and electric vehicle charging stations, all leveraging polycarbonate’s balanced material property profile for high heat, cold temperature impact, RF transmission, flame retardance and overall toughness.
- Smart mobility technologies will feature integrated displays, embedded sensors and heat management solutions needed for our autonomous driving future.
- Covestro will highlight smart living prototypes utilizing its polycarbonates and polycarbonate blends tailored to electronics with a sharp eye on color, material and finish considerations.
