CHINAPLAS 2025: BASF to exhibit Acrodur® ecotechnology innovations for sustainable solutions

• Acrodur^® possesses high versatility in various industry applications including automotive, construction and packaging adapting to market needs
• Innovative eco-technology binder: water-based alternative with outstanding binder properties, high thermomechanical stability, low VOC, lightweight, suitable for natural, glass and synthetic fiber
• BASF at Chinaplas 2025: Hall 17, D91, Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center (Shenzhen)

Shenzhen, China – April 3, 2025 – BASF’s Dispersions Asia Pacific will participate in CHINAPLAS 2025 from April 15 – 18, 2025. This highly anticipated event will showcase BASF’s Acrodur^® ecotechnology innovations, offering tailor-made sustainable solutions across various industries.

Acrodur^® is a water-based, formaldehyde-free crosslinking acrylate resin that showcases exceptional binding properties and environmental benefits. Designed for various applications, including automotive semi-structural parts, furniture, and lightweight sandwich panels, Acrodur^® facilitates the development of sustainable, cost-effective, and lightweight composites.

With comparable cost-in-use to current plastic solutions, Acrodur^® offers an economically-viable choice for manufacturers aiming to meet different market demands, e.g., furniture, home appliances and automotive. This makes our solution not only accessible but also a practical alternative for those transitioning to greener materials.

Featuring a renewable content of over 75%, and minimized emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Acrodur^® exemplifies our commitment to eco-friendly practices.

This innovative resin not only enhances the mechanical performance of composite materials but also plays a crucial role in fiber-bonding technology, enabling effective adhesion between natural or synthetic fibers. This capability results in strong, durable products that meet the rigorous demands of multiple industries.

"We are proud to showcase our Acrodur^® ecotechnology innovations at CHINAPLAS 2025. This reflects BASF's ongoing commitment to advancing the chemical industry toward a sustainable and circular future." Andreas Fechtenkötter, Senior Vice President of Dispersions Asia Pacific, remarked.

At CHINAPLAS 2025, visitors will have the opportunity to explore our suite of ecotechnology solutions and learn more about the role of Acrodur^® in promoting sustainable practices within the chemical industry.
