BASF develops green amines to bring happiness to flexible film packaging

[China Packaging Network News] BASF has officially announced the successful development of a high-performance polyamide designed specifically for flexible packaging films. This innovative material is made entirely from renewable resources and produced using a unique process, making it an excellent alternative to traditional petroleum-based polyamides.

According to the research team, this new renewable polyamide was created using BASF's patented material balance technology, achieving world-class performance and quality. Additionally, its production process is more environmentally friendly, significantly reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.

"In recent years, our customers have shown increasing demand for sustainable materials," said Joachim Queisser, Senior Vice President of the Amide Business Unit at BASF Europe. "Our new high-performance polyamides are perfectly positioned to meet the evolving needs of film packers, helping them deliver better products to their end users."

BASF, a leading manufacturer in the industry, has over 60 years of experience in producing high-performance polyamides. Its range of products includes engineering plastics, polyamide intermediates, films, and fibers, all of which are well-regarded in the market. The company operates multiple production lines, including PA6, PA6.6, PA6.10, and PA6/6.6 copolymers.

For many years, polyamide has remained a core part of BASF's business. The company has production facilities in Ludwigshafen, Germany; Antwerp, Belgium; Texas, USA; and Sao Paulo, Brazil. In addition, the Shanghai Polyamide Plant is currently operating at full capacity, with a production capacity of 100,000 tons per year, and was expected to start operations in 2015.

As highlighted by the editors of China Packaging Network, the soft packaging industry has seen significant changes in recent years. On one hand, it must meet consumer demands, while on the other, it must comply with stricter environmental regulations. With innovations like this new polyamide, the industry is taking a meaningful step toward sustainability without compromising performance or quality.
