The world’s leading chemical company, Germany’s BASF, is paying close attention to China’s national fitness and sports floor market. Through partners in China, BASF’s chemically functional materials and solutions are increasingly used in China’s indoor and outdoor sports floors, including plastic tracks.
Recently, BASF has cooperated with its Chinese partners and Shanghai Dubaicheng jointly launched an exclusive foamed thermoplastic polyurethane (E-TPU) to improve the safety of children’s sports floors. According to Larson Kohlberg, director of BASF Asia Pacific, the material is not only safe and environmentally friendly, but also has very good impact absorption and high resilience, which can protect children’s joints and soft tissues to the greatest extent. In the test, a raw egg dropped from a height of two meters to the E-TPU floor, and it could rebound continuously without breaking.
In China, national fitness and school sports is booming, resulting in high demand for sports venues. Kohlberg said that in the past year, campuses have had an increasing demand for safer and more environmentally friendly sports venues. To this end, they have jointly created a four-party alliance with Dubaicheng to implement supervision into every link of the industry chain. .
The company’s Performance Materials Department Greater China Liu Shuai, the management director of the construction department, said that they have a set of strict procedures. Taking sports track products as an example, they require R&D personnel to only select raw materials from the internal raw material product database when developing new formulas, and will follow the latest regulations and research. Results are updated regularly. The ban standards for many chemical raw materials are higher than current domestic requirements, and even higher than the requirements of REACH (European Union Regulation “Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals”). Strict controls will also be carried out in the production, storage and transportation links.
Liu Shuai said that BASF has been committed to localizing products in China. In addition to high-quality products, it also brings high-standard factory construction and management models. Arrived in China.
