Unique Products for Unique Customers

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

Elastofoam^® is especially distinguished for its decorative surface finish. The integral foam is extensively employed in the automotive and furniture industries producing seats, steering wheels, gear shift knobs as well as in engine compartment heavy duty uses for cable sheathing, grommets and gaskets in filter elements.

The Elastolit^® product range includes Elastolit^® R (RIM/RRIM), Elastolit^® D (rigid integral foam) and Elastolit^® K (compact duromer). With a variety of properties, these polyurethane systems constitute high-quality, economic alternatives to construction materials or thermosetting materials and engineering thermoplastics.

Elastollan^® – the thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPU) from BASF – features excellent physical properties. Therefore, Elastollan^® is suitable for demanding applications in virtually all sectors of industry.

Typical applications include components for the mining industry and the production of wheels and rollers. These components have to withstand the most demanding conditions in terms of impact and abrasion. Thanks to its excellent mechanical properties, Elastollan^® is used for screens and guide rollers, for example.

Elastopan^® offers high-performance and innovative solutions for producers of casual shoes, safety shoes and sport shoes. It is a multi-component polyurethane foam system for the production of mid-, out- and insoles. It is compatible with casting and injection machines.

Elastopave^® exploits the principle of binding stones with polyurethane to yield a strong, water- and air-permeable surface. The stone mix can be flexibly varied to blend into the immediate surroundings. Also, it is easy to process. The bottom line is real benefits in design, attractiveness, longevity and eco-friendliness.

Automotive spray skin systems for high-quality looks and fine tactile properties. PU-molded skins in Elastoskin^® ensure a high quality look and particularly fine tactile properties in premium cars. They can be produced in constant wall thickness and allow much versatility for design.

Infinergy^® is the world's first expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (E-TPU). This closed-cell particle foam can be used anywhere, where a combination of low weight, excellent mechanical properties and good long-term durability is required.

Neopolen^® is used wherever high energy absorption, low weight, and high temperature resistance are essential. Due to its wide spectrum of properties, it offers an almost unparalleled number of construction, application, and design options.

Anyone insulating his walls with super-slim SLENTEX^® mats is sure to benefit for years to come in terms of energy efficiency, thermal conductivity and home comfort. Do you want to build a new house or upgrade an existing one? Then SLENTEX^®, the new high-performance insulating material, is the ideal choice.

Architects, designers and building owners are constantly looking for new materials for the design of attractive buildings and insulating them efficiently. With a totally new high-performance insulating material, BASF is pointing the way forward. SLENTITE^® is a unique new product due for market launch in a few years' time.

Ultradur^® is BASF’s brand name for its line of partially crystalline, thermoplastic, saturated polyesters derived from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). They are employed as materials for high-quality technical components in many industry sectors.

Ultradur® LUX is a PBT that offers new possibilities for joining plastics using laser transmission welding.

The engineering plastic Ultramid^® is based on PA6 and PA66 as well as on various co-polyamides such as PA66/6. The range also includes PA610 and partially aromatic polyamides such as PA6T/6. Ultramid^® is noted for its high mechanical strength, stiffness and thermal stability.
