“This is a great success for BASF and CoHaMa for TPU in rail transporation. Flame retardancy, low smoke density, and excellent durability are key considerations when we design environmentally friendly and safe products for passengers,” said Peter Jang, General Manager, CoHaMa Group.
“Our state-of-art TPU technology has already been widely used in the wire and cable application for automotive and personal electronic devices. With the successful launch of the hand strap application, we have again demonstrated our ability to be a total solutions provider by offering the best material solution and technical service for process and quality management. In turn, we expect this will further strengthen our footprint in the public transportation market,” said Desmond Long, Vice President, Business Management Transportation, Performance Materials Asia Pacific, BASF.
