Polyurethane Raw Materials

Polyurethane basic products like Isocyanates and Polyols manufactured in production sites and world scale plants in Asia, Europe and North America. State-of-the-art-technology results in constant, consistent and reliable product quality and product supply. TDI, MDI and Polyols are the basic materials for the production of polyurethanes. Polyurethanes are an important part of our daily life. They can be tailored easily to nearly all industrial application fields. Flexible polyurethane foams can be used for high-end mattress foams or seating foams, and ensure our safety as dampening foams for automotive applications. Polyurethane rigid foams help reduce energy losses due to their superior insulation performance and allow construction of more cost- and energy-efficient buildings. Compact polyurethanes can be used as tough automotive coatings, dampening pads, elastomers, shoe soles, sealants, binders or cables.

ASF has a globally unique portfolio of chemical intermediates for the manufacture of outstandingly versatile polyurethane (PUR) materials, including an extensive range of high-performance catalysts, polyols, additives and solvents. In addition to a high level of supplier reliability through backward integration and global PUR expertise, BTC Europe offers local presence and extensive customer services. The company also provides wide-ranging support in the development of innovative products and processes. While rigid and semi-rigid PUR foams are used for insulation, dashboards and insulating board, flexible foam is used for upholstering car seats, furniture and mattresses. You also find PUR foam in the soles of shoes and in energy absorbing materials in the automotive industry. BASF products are appreciated in the production of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) and PUR dispersions as well.
