BASF Plastics – Key to your
successOur customers want materials that are as strong and tough as possible – or flexible and elastic. Or both. Materials that are as lightweight as possible, and also retain their shape under extremely high or low temperature conditions. Materials that defy wind and weather, and that don’t wear down under continuous strain. They should also feature an outstanding cost/benefit profile, and be quickly and easily formable into virtually any shape. In short, our customers want materials whose properties can be adapted to whatever purpose they desire. Our plastics meet these requirements.
BASF's focus is concentrated on our customers' relevant industry.

BASF is one of the world’s leading plastics manufacturers,
and has played a major role in shaping developments in this field.
One of our greatest strengths lies in our ability to develop the properties
of plastics to meet the requirements of our customers. Especially durable,
especially easy to process, especially flame-resistant –we can fulfill
just about any wish. For many years now, we have also been producing biodegradable
plastics. With Ecoflex®, for example, we are one of the leaders on
the market in this field. A recent development, Ecovio®, is a biodegradable
plastic based on renewable raw materials.
