At the consumer product technologies conference CES 2019, which will be held Jan. 8-11, in Las Vegas, NV, US, Covestro (Pittsburgh, PA, US) will demonstrate how composite materials help bring next-gen technologies to market.
Covestro will showcase applications utilizing its polycarbonates and polycarbonate blends tailored to electronics, IT and communications applications – materials said to offer high flowability, stiffness, toughness, heat resistance and flame retardance, as well as aesthetics. Also on display will be applications using the company’s next-gen Maezio continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite.
Applications on display will include a wireless charging pad from KerfCase (Pittburgh, PA, US) and a bracelet from Embr Labs (Cambridge, MA, US) that acts as a personal thermostat.
