10/03/2009

BASF Textile Chemicals is to demonstrate how eco-friendly textile solutions can also make an economic difference when it appears at Interstoff Asia Essential. The show will take place from March 18–20 in Hong Kong.

The company will show how ecology and economy can go hand in hand by focusing on three key aspects: consumer safety, resource saving and climate protection.

BASF Textile Chemicals’ range of products and solutions will include: one of the world’s first textile articles with a demonstrated carbon footprint; eco-efficient solutions that contribute to saving resources such as water and energy, as well as time and cost; and a formaldehyde-free textile processing system that meets the highest formaldehyde requirements.

BASF will also take part in the panel discussion organised by Interstoff Asia Essential and Eco Textile News. Paul Mui, head of business management textile chemicals east Asia, will be on a panel discussing a topic entitled: ”Can sustainability survive the global credit crunch?”

“Consumer safety, along with environmental protection, are our top priorities when coming to developing new products,” states Janardhanan Ramanujalu, director and head of global business management textile chemicals at BASF. “Not only can customers meet today’s standards, they can be rest assured also in the future,” he explains.

The Textile Chemicals business unit offers textile auxiliaries for weaving, pre-treatment and dyeing, as well as solutions for pigment printing, finishing and textile coatings.
