“Luquafleece is one of the specialties in our portfolio of superabsorbents for industrial applications,” says Ralf Spettmann, Group Vice President of the Global Business Unit Acrylics & Superabsorbents at BASF. “With Vayu Verde we have successfully developed a further, innovative application for this superabsorbing fleece.

Our cooperation with IQTEX is another good example of how BASF, together with its customers, can achieve successful solutions. BASF will be presenting Luquafleece and products manufactured with Luquafleece at the nonwovens exhibition INDEX 2008 (April 15-18, 2008) in Geneva.

The first shoes with Vayu Verde technology are to be launched on the market this year. IQTEX has already developed the first prototypes together with partners such as safety shoe producer Baak and the Deichmann group (children's shoes “Elefanten”).

The Vayu Verde technology is not only suitable for shoes but could also be used to manufacture jackets, gloves, tents, safety helmets, textiles and sports accessories to achieve optimum ventilation. This innovative technology could also be deployed in electronic devices or medical products.

IQTEX was founded by Michael Dehn and Christian Wiedemann in 2005 to market several patents and patent-pending inventions.

IQTEX utilizes cutting edge technologies and advanced production methods to develop innovative products. Since it was founded, IQTEX has focused on developing marketable products as well as continuously enhancing and improving existing innovations. IQTEX is available on the Internet.
