Covestro develops high-performance polymers and Polycarbonate films techniques used in electrical, electronic and industrial applications. The ranges Makrofol® and Bayfol® meeting the needs for electrical insulation, HMI interfaces, battery protection and integration into Power & Mobility systems.
ADDEV Materials is a distributor and transformer of Covestro solutions. Our teams support manufacturers in choosing the right film, defining the format, custom transformation, and the delivery of ready-to-integrate parts for production.
Covestro is an international manufacturer of high-tech polymer materials. Its expertise includes polycarbonates, polyurethanes and functional films for demanding industrial applications.
Covestro polycarbonate films are selected when the application requires a combination of mechanical strength, dimensional stability, dielectric strength, and printability and reliable behaviour in an electrical or electronic environment.
Within the Power & Mobility markets, Covestro's solutions address three main needs: insulating electrical components, protecting battery systems, and creating robust, legible, and functional HMI interfaces.
Covestro polycarbonate films are relevant when industrial systems require a thin, stable, resistant and processable material. They provide a technical solution for the constraints of insulation, protection, user interface and reliability in electrical and electronic environments.

Covestro's polycarbonate and polymer films are used in the Power & Mobility submarkets when components need to combine protection, insulation, mechanical strength, surface durability, and precise integration. ADDEV Materials transforms these materials according to the constraints of each application.
Beyond distribution, ADDEV Materials brings real added value in integrating Covestro materials:
Choosing Covestro at ADDEV Materials ensures the selection, availability and industrial integration of polycarbonate films and technical polymers.
ADDEV Materials transforms technical films to deliver a deployable solution in rolls, sheets, custom-cut parts, or kits.
Are you looking for a Makrofol® film for electrical insulation, a Bayfol® film For HMI interfaces or a Covestro polymer suitable for battery protection? ADDEV Materials helps you define the right material, format, and processing to meet your requirements.
The films Makrofol® and Bayfol® are the most relevant for Power & Mobility applications. Makrofol® is used for electrical insulation and component protection, while Bayfol® is suitable for HMI interfaces, overlays, and functional surfaces.
Makrofol® is a polycarbonate film oriented for insulation, protection and mechanical resistance. Bayfol® is used when the application requires a functional, printable or decorative surface, particularly for human-machine interfaces and electronic front panels.
Yes, certain Covestro polycarbonate films are used for electrical insulation due to their dielectric strength, dimensional stability, and mechanical resistance. The choice of grade depends on the voltage, thickness, temperature, and integration process.
Bayfol® is used for HMI interfaces, overlays, control panels, printed surfaces, and electronic components requiring good surface durability. It is relevant for automotive, industrial equipment, datacentres, and embedded electronic systems.
Yes. ADDEV Materials transforms Covestro films via die-cutting, lamination, combining, slitting, sheeting and kitting. The aim is to deliver films or parts ready to be integrated into industrial systems.
The main criteria are the desired function, thickness, dielectric strength, impact resistance, operating temperature, fire behaviour, printability, and processing constraints. ADDEV Materials helps to link these criteria to the correct Covestro grade and industrial format.
