Plastics for Furniture

Plastics for Furniture

Comfort and design flexibility is the name of the game for furniture and bedding

Aesthetics, stability and a lot of design possibilities – these are but a few of the advantages to designing and manufacturing furniture with BASF flexible foams and engineering plastics.

Our flexible foams are uniquely versatile. They can be molded into any size or shape and to any level of softness or firmness demanded. The foams are light, durable and retain their shape despite heavy use. Our engineering plastics such as Ultramid SI, are uniquely surface-enhanced so you get the best of both worlds – the sleek, sophisticated look combined with the toughness, abrasion resistance and bending modulus you need for creative design. Whether it’s furniture for the home or office, BASF has material and design expertise that can help our customers find a solution that fits their need.
