Versatile Application Range

The applications are as manifold as the properties of our products: Explore the various application possibilities!

Additives for Polyamide

Various structures are commercially produced; PA 6, PA 6,6, PA 4,6, PA 11 and PA 12 are the most important. Traditionally, aliphatic polyamides are stabilized with small amounts of copper salts.

Markise - Sonnenschutz

Additives for Polyesters

PET is usually processed and used without the addition of antioxidants. However BASF offers products to improve properties of PET against aging in specific conditions. PBT is somewhat less stable under long term thermal exposure conditions.

Additives for Polyurethanes

Polyurethanes are mostly used as flexible molded foams, flexible slabstock foams, rigid microcellular foams (RIM-PUR), and thermoplastic polyurethanes (T-PUR).

Solutions

We support our customers in developing application-oriented solutions.

Flame Retardancy

Safety is an important aspect across all industries but is crucial in E&E applications, construction and fibers. Flame retardant technology helps to reduce the risk of fire and increase the areas of use for your product. BASF offers a range of flame retardants for various polymers.
