BASF UV Radiation Mapping

BASF massimizza la durata della plastica attraverso l'applicazione precisa di additivi

BASF has partnered with the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and NASA Goddard Space Flight on a new tool to maximize the service life of plastic products by precisely matching plastic additives to the predicted intensity of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. With the help of this UV radiation mapping tool, the dosage of plastic additives can be optimized, resulting in a more robust final product perfectly adapted to the requirements of the region where it will be used. Producers of plastic products benefit in having better lifetime prediction and cost savings from longer-lasting plastics used in outdoor applications. This augmented reality is a promotional APP that offers a glimpse on how BASF uses this tool help its customers protect their plastic materials by selecting the appropriate robust stabilization system and optimizing its loading level.
