BASF’s Loop solution for Polyurethanes

Location: Hall 16, Booth R31

BASF’s new Loop solution is a breakthrough technology for PU flexible foam recycling. With advanced liquification technology, End-of-Life PU foams can be easily transferred to a re-processed polyol. The reprocessed polyol can be incorporated into new PU formulations with recycling content up to ~20 wt%. Closed loop concepts are applicable by this solution. The recycling cycles can be repeated multiple times. This technology can be used in different automotive, furniture and FSL applications like steering wheel, and safety shoes.
