Bayer MaterialScience:
Toward a shining future

Materials for visions – for Bayer MaterialScience this is both a claim and a commitment. One example is high-tech films. These are found everywhere: instrument panels, cellphone displays, forgery-proof identity cards. And in the future they’ll be able to shine around corners too.

Scientists at Bayer MaterialScience came up with an electro- luminescent film that lights up when an electric current is applied – even when the film is bent, rolled or folded. Development of this exciting new material has been entrusted to start-up company LYTTRON Technology, a subsidiary of Bayer MaterialScience.

For designers this is undoubtedly a dream come true. And for Bayer MaterialScience – one of the world’s largest manufacturers of high-tech polymers – it’s another milestone in customer-oriented innovation. This company’s portfolio also includes polyurethane and polycarbonate products, along with materials for coatings, adhesives, insulating materials and sealants. With this spectrum of activities, the company has one overriding goal: to continually enhance the quality of life.
