BASF presented innovations at interpack 2014

16 June 2014

At the interpack trade fair in May, BASF presented its comprehensive range of packaging raw materials.

BASF demonstrated its expertise in the field of compostable packaging material. The company presented an injection-moulded cup prototype made from ecovio IS. The cup shows which BASF products, from plastic via Masterbatch and pigments to adhesion promoters, are suitable for compostable packaging solutions.

Furthermore, BASF offers customers pigments for printing on compostable packaging. The pigments are suitable for aqueous, solvent-based and UV-curing printing systems, comply with standards such as EN 13432 in terms of limit values for heavy metals and eco-toxicity and are approved for contact with food (ISEGA certificate).

BASF presented a folded carton that has been printed by offset with six pigments for compostable packaging, covering a wide spectrum of colours ranging from yellow and magenta to blue.
