BASF is to present new products in the fields of fibre Spunbonding, additives and super absorbents at INDEX 2011, the world¡¯s leading nonwovens exhibition, which is being held from April 12-15 April in Geneva. BASF will be targeting customers from the hygiene and nonwoven industry and all companies that require environmentally friendly binding agents and liquid-absorbing polymers for their products.

¡°Binding agents for fibrous materials in the form of dispersions and reactive resins have become part of our daily life,¡± says BASF. ¡°They hold together a large number of products that simplify our everyday life in many ways. When used in non woven fabric , they make roofing membranes tear-proof and ensure that PVC floors keep their shape. Thanks to such dispersions, waterproof cellulose substrates can be turned into highly efficient decorative paper, filters or nonwoven PP wallpaper. Natural fibres are used to produce light-weight construction material or floor coverings,¡± the company says.
