“TPO roofing membranes produced with BASF’s polymer formulation and stabilization can perform in some of the most extreme climate conditions and meet current roofing and waterproofing standards,” said Hermann Althoff, Senior Vice President, of BASF’s Performance Chemicals unit in Asia Pacific. “Our stabilizers reduce production costs and make products last longer, and thereby help to conserve precious raw material.”
The light stabilizer is based on BASF’s proprietary NOR-HALS (hindered amine light stabilizer) technology. Due to the inherent advantages of NORHALS technology, the stabilizers have a lower interaction with system components and acidic environmental contaminants than traditional HALS products, thereby helping to retain the mechanical properties of TPO membranes to meet the demands of building owners.
“We tried solutions from other suppliers but got the best results with BASF’s technology,” said John Yu, Director of R&D at Wonpoong Corporation. “Now we are able to ensure the polymer’s UV resistance and provide our customers with more durable products.”
Chemical Market has been in the industry since almost 40 years. We owe our success to you and since the last few years things have been crazy for the world at large. The editorial independence has never been more important.
Our articles and press releases come from reliable sources and we keep delivering high impact trustworthy news, reviews and technical articles and reports free from commercial or political influence.
We believe everyone deserves equal access to accurate news and there are many news aggregator sites but we don't participate in those as they have a very broad criteria where not all news articles sites can participate and not all of them are true articles written for the purpose of knowledge but mostly are commercialized. We bring you news and information in the chemical industry and provide vital information to make decisions based on fact and not fiction.
