BASF Polyurethanes GmbH: We innovate to make our customers more successful.

The special plastic material polyurethane makes life much more comfortable, sa­­f­­­­­er and much more pleasant – as arm­­rests, mattresses, headrests, re­­fri­­g­­er­­­a­­tors, ca­­­­ble sheathing, shoe soles or wheels for inline-skates. The material properties of the “material of un­­limited possibilities” can be tailored to its intended use.

In polyurethanes, BASF is a leading supplier of systems, speciality products and basic products. The com­­pany is a preferred partner for its cus­­tomers from many sectors because BASF offers a global network of 38 polyurethane System Houses.
