Polyurethanes Industry PURe Partnership

The Intermediates operating division of BASF outlines product offerings for the polyurethanes industry in the new PURe Partnership brochure.

BASF’s product offer for the polyurethane (PUR) industry is outlined in the new “PURe Partnership” brochure just published by the Intermediates operating division. In this richly illustrated 16-page brochure, which is available in German and in English, the Intermediates division presents individual products and explains their role in PUR production. The publication is arranged by the four product groups “catalysts”, “polyols”, “additives”, and “solvents”. The same information has now been adapted for the web and posted on the Internet at “basf.de/pur/e”, with an option to download the new brochure.

Innovative BASF intermediates help to improve the properties of the final product and the efficiency of production processes.

BASF's globally unique portfolio of chemical intermediates includes a range of high-performance catalysts, polyols, additives and solvents used in the manufacture of PUR, an incredibly versatile material. In addition to a high level of supplier reliability through backward integration and global expertise in PUR, BASF offers local presence and extensive customer service. BASF also provides wide-ranging support in the development of innovative products and processes as well as a range of services, from application to sustainability issues.

BASF is the world leader in PUR catalysts and has more than 20 PUR catalysts in its range. The company markets high-performance reaction accelerators under the Lupragen® brand, including extremely low-emission PUR catalysts. Catalysts are required to facilitate the reaction of the two components isocyanate and polyol required for defined polymer formation. Different catalysts are selectively applied in accordance with the desired properties of the PUR material, for example depending on whether the final product is to be a hard, semi-hard or soft foam. BASF manufactures PUR catalysts at its sites in Ludwigshafen (Germany), Antwerpen (Belgium) and Geismar (USA).

Hard and semi-hard PUR foams are used for insulation, dashboards and insulating board. Soft foam is used for upholstering car seats, furniture and mattresses. PUR is also used in the soles of shoes and for energy absorbing systems in the automotive industry.
