BASF at Foam Expo 2022

BASF materials of integral skin foams, urethane elastomers, extrudable and injection moldable thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) grades and elastomeric coatings can meet all your needs for returnable dunnage. 

Sound absorption, fire resistance, thermal insulation or abrasiveness: Basotect^® combines many requirements for high-performance foam in one product. In construction and industrial applications, in the automotive and transportation sectors, but also in consumer applications, Basotect^® provides a great variety of options.

For innovative and sustainable coating technologies on highly flexible substrates, BASF set new standards in design opportunities, customization and process optimization to help our customers design unique products that contribute to towards their sustainability goals.

The footwear industry, like its products, never stand still. It’s a constant race to develop new technologies that anticipate new trends and changing demands. We’re in the race to help you win. That is why we have teamed up with i-generator to completely redesign the safety shoe, using the latest material innovations and breakthrough ideas never seen before in safety footwear. 

Aesthetics, stability, comfort and design flexibility are possible with BASF flexible foams and engineering plastics. 

STM is a fast and efficient process for manufacturing lightweight composite products. The process is designed to scale from initial ideation and experiments to actual automotive production components.

Pultrusion is a continuous process used to create straight or curved composite profiles reinforced with continuous fibers and mats. For improved strength to weight ratio than metal solutions, our 70% glass fiber and 30% Elastocoat^® polyurethane yields an outstanding composite. 

At BASF, we want to help make your sustainable innovation journey faster when it comes to furniture design. We have expanded our portfolio to include innovative materials that support sustainable goals — while still giving furniture designers creative inspirations. 

Specifically formulated for your unique requirements, Autofroth^© offers excellent flow characteristics, a variety of densities and reactive profiles possible to produce foam suitable from light, thin cross-sections to heavy structural parts.  

Go beyond your boundaries with Infinergy^®, the world's first expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (E-TPU). Infinergy provides superior energy return while delivering a lightweight, high strength alternative.
