One step ahead in product stewardship “Consumer safety along with environmental protection are our top priorities when coming to developing new products,” states Janardhanan Ramanujalu, Director and Head of Global Business Management Textile Chemicals at BASF. One outstanding example is BASF's formaldehyde-free textile processing system that ensures “zero add-on” of formaldehyde during production.
This is especially important for manufacturers of baby and children's wear, where controls for formaldehyde levels have become more stringent. “Not only can customers meet today's standards, they can be rest assured also in the future,” explained Janardhanan.
Visitors will also learn how BASF Textile Chemicals is taking further steps in improving consumer safety, for example, in the field of product stewardship and meeting ecological standards. Janardhanan continues: “This is to live up to our goal - 'FUTURE means textiles are safe – anytime, anywhere' - which we want to jointly achieve with our customers and partners in the textile industry.”
The Textile Chemicals business unit of BASF Group offers textile auxiliaries for weaving, pretreatment and dyeing, as well as comprehensive solutions for pigment printing, finishing and textile coatings.
