BASF to produce its Infinergy foam in Taiwan
26/09/2018
Infinergy is a closed-cell elastic foam. Its properties include low density, high elasticity, high abrasion resistance, high tensile strength and good long-term durability over a wide temperature range (between – 20°C and + 40°C) along with good chemical resistance.
It has already been used with great success in safety and running shoes, most notably in the midsole of the Boost range of running shoes from Adidas.
Local media quoted BASF Taiwan as saying that the capacity expansion aims to meet rising demand for this material from a variety of industries.
“With the capacity addition, the Changhua site will play a more important role in helping meet the rising demand for E-TPU,” BASF director of global business management for Infinergy, Jens Dierssen, said.
