Germany’s leading chemical company, BASF, is set to present its new innovative polyurethane products at the 2015 UTECH International Polyurethane Exhibition and Conference in Maastricht (NL).

The products to be displayed include components for wind turbines, housings and mining sieves. At an exhibited mattress, the BASF experts for PU basic products would be discussing the options that the formulation of innovative isocyanate mixtures offer in combination with adapted polyols.

At the UTECH conference, BASF experts will explain details about SLENTITE (M. Fricke), the surface treatment for the application of polyurea spray coats and about additives for improved PU properties in automotive applications.

BASF will display a roof module for the next generation of a compact by a German premium car manufacturer developed with the PU foam system Elastoflex E by the company Fehrer Composite Components. The roof module is currently the lightest roof construction for passenger cars on the market and consists of a glass fibre reinforced honeycomb sandwich structure which has been pressed together with a solid-coloured class A film by means of PU spray impregnation, BASF said in a press release.

The German company will also present a pultruded wind blade root section made of Elastocoat C by FIBERLINE Composites A/S. The blade root has high interlaminar shear strength and fast production line speed. A housing made of Elastolit D will also be shown, where the rigid duromer integral foam is not only paintable, but shows high flowability during processing and good self-releasing properties.

The first polyurethane aerogel SLENTITE in the form of a stable panel will also be exhibited at the UTECH. SLENTITE is a high-performance product for building insulation. It provides very thin insulation, very good moisture regulation particularly for the interior, rugged panels and gives the architect a great deal of design freedom. The panels are dust-free and can be easily sawn, milled, drilled and bonded.

The exhibited mattress would show the innovative formulation concept around the isocyanate Lupranat MX 118/1. By combining this isocyanate mixture with specifically developed polyol components, chemical-viscoelastic and pneumatic-viscoelastic foams, highly elastic and hypersoft foams can be produced in high quality. The simplified formulation concepts lead to easier processing and a high quality standard of the final products while maintaining a high flexibility for the customer. (GK)
