BASFwill feature its broad range of products of technologies for the nonwovens market in its booth number 1672 at IDEA2010, the International Engineered Fabrics Conference.

“BASF has long been recognized as a provider of superabsorbent polymers for hygiene applications as well as adhesives and colorants for nonwovens,” said Simon Medley, group vice president, Care Chemicals and Formulators for BASF in North America. “With the acquisition of Ciba Corporation in 2009, BASF enriched its solutions capabilities and enhanced its product portfolio for this market, including specialized additives for medical and surgical nonwovens and home and personal care wipes. BASF can now truly approach customers and the nonwovens market as a complete solutions provider.”

BASF will promote HySorb superabsorbent polymers that feature specific innovative properties for diapers, adult incontinence and feminine hygiene products andadditives and colorants that add functionality, durability and appeal to nonwovens, including halogen-free flame retardants, polymer modifiers that enable spun bond to perform as meltblown and colorants that offer design options and brilliance.


Other products include Acrodur Acrylic Thermosets, innovative binders for a variety of applications, including natural fiber composites, technical nonwovens and filtration media. These binders are formaldehyde-, phenol- and VOC-free and thus present no hazardous emissions or costly emission control equipment, no odor and no labeling issues.
