    • Innovative textile applications with polyurethanes from Wevo

    Polyurethane potting compounds are opening up numerous new possibilities in combination with textiles, as confirmed by the successful collaboration between WEVO-CHEMIE GmbH and the Saxon Textile Research Institute (STFI).

    Polyurethane potting compounds from Wevo offer a reliable solution for 3D printing on pre-stressed textiles (Image source: STFI).

    The STFI has tested selected potting compounds from Wevo as part of several research projects. Our polyurethanes have proven to be suitable for two applications: The production of large-area textile surface elements for monitoring mechanical loads using modern sensors and 3D printing on pre-stressed textiles to produce three-dimensionally deformed structures.

    The STFI has summarised the results of the study in a press release.

    Key insights on polyurethane potting compounds for textile 3D printing applications:

    • The Saxon Textile Research Institute (STFI) is testing Wevo’s polyurethane potting compounds for additive manufacturing on textiles.
    • Two application scenarios are in focus: large-area textile elements for monitoring mechanical loads and 3D printing on pre-stretched textiles to create 3D structures.
