April 12 (adsalecprj) -- Global chemical supplier BASF has recently inaugurated a new section of its
Technical Competence Center for intermediates at its Shanghai Pudong site. The
new laboratory will specialize in epoxy systems for fiber-reinforced composites,
which are used, for example, in wind turbine blades. BASF sells these systems under its Baxxodur brand. The
competence center integrates this new epoxy laboratory with BASF's existing PolyTHF laboratory, which will also
expand the scope of its services.
In the new epoxy laboratory BASF can simulate its customers' production processes
using Baxxodur epoxy systems under production conditions. BASF's application engineers develop tailored solutions
and provide onsite technical support to their customers.
At BASF's expanded Technical Competence Center various
polymer synthesis facilities can be used to customize new formulations, improve
existing ones and adjust mechanical and thermal properties of PolyTHF-based
products to specific applications. Sample and specimen analysis as well as
laboratory support for starting up customer plants round off the service
offer.
