BASF binder for automotive lightweight composites

By admin April 17, 2015 12:50 pm IST

 BASF plans to launch a new binder, Acrodur Power 2750 X, designed for the production of natural fibre composites for automotive lightweight applications such as interior car door panels or shelves.
As a low-emission alternative to formaldehyde-based reactive resins, Acrodur Power 2750 X gives natural fibre composites high mechanical stability. At the same time, the product offers thermoplastic processability and, unlike traditional thermoplastic binders based on polypropylene, it allows the use of up to 75 per cent natural fibres in lightweight components.
Environmentally-friendly, health-compatible“Due to the use of Acrodur Power 2750 X, natural fibre components are up to 40 per cent lighter than conventional plastic products. This results in cars that consume less fuel and have fewer carbon emissions,” explains Claus Dallner, Head of Marketing for Dispersions for Fibre Bonding at BASF.
