Convestro Expands Powder Coating Production in the Asia Pacific
In September 2025, Covestro has recently expanded its technology and production for a special type of powder coating resin in the Asia-Pacific region. The company is focusing on a new solution called NIA-PFAS super-durable flexible powder coating polyester, sold under the names Uralac Premium P 8000 and P 9000 as per the published report.
Also, the company is increasing production of this advanced coating material and making it available locally in Asia-Pacific. Moreover, Covestro has selected its Pingtung site in Taiwan as the main production hub. This means the product will now be manufactured closer to customers in the region instead of being supplied from faraway locations in the current period.
According to Towards Chem&Materials, the Asia Pacific powder coating market size accounted for USD 10.52 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 11.25 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 20.42 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 6.85% from 2026 to 2035, due to heavy demand for the durable coatings.
Sustainable Coatings Reduce Carbon Emissions
The increasing trend towards sustainability. By producing the material locally, the company can reduce emissions caused by long-distance transportation. This supports Covestro’s long-term goal of reducing its carbon footprint and achieving climate neutrality targets. The company is also responding to changing global regulations related to PFAS chemicals. These regulations are pushing industries to use safer and more environmentally friendly materials. Covestro’s new coating resin is designed to meet these requirements while still delivering strong performance.
The newly launched powder coating resin offers better durability and flexibility compared to traditional materials. It helps extend the life of building materials and heavy equipment used in sectors like agriculture, construction, and earth-moving. Also, this solution can replace older fluorocarbon-based coating systems that are commonly used for weather resistance.
