BASF for wind energy and automotive components
BASF supports the development of wind power as a climate-friendly source of energy in the energy mix. BASF’s portfolio for wind power applications comprises epoxy and coating systems, foams, special grouting mortars and concrete additives as well as lubricants and hydraulic systems.
The innovative solutions from BASF facilitate more efficient manufacturing, coating and maintenance of rotor blades, foundations, towers and gearboxes of wind turbines. In this way BASF helps to make wind turbines more profitable and more durable. BASF continually develops and improves its wind power portfolio in close cooperation with its customers.
Moreover BASF is working on solutions for automotive components based on continuous fiber reinforcement. On the one hand this covers polyamides for locally reinforced parts. On the other hand a new cross-divisional team develops products based on the three polymer matrices epoxy, polyurethane and polyamide to be used in fast resin transfer molding (RTM) processes in combination with continuous fiber fabrics.
