BASF launches Tinuvin^® NOR^® 211 AR to support film producers and converters globally in navigating the challenging landscape of plasticulture – the use of plastic materials in agricultural applications. This new high-performance heat and light stabilizer protects and prolongs the lifespan of agricultural plastics that require resistance to high levels of inorganic chemicals like sulfur and chlorine. Tinuvin NOR 211 AR offers an effective value-in-use solution for agricultural plastics exposed to intense UV radiation, thermal stress, and inorganic chemicals commonly used in crop management and disinfection.

BASF is set to showcase further milestones on their plastics journey at the upcoming Plastics Recycling and Sustainability Conference Europe (PRSE) 2024. Taking place on June 19-20 at RAI Amsterdam, the conference will serve as a platform for industry leaders, innovators, and experts to discuss the latest developments, opportunities, and challenges in the European plastics recycling sector.
