. Uvinul® 4050 FF is the first monomeric HALS (hindered amine light stabilizer) with food contact approval for polymer applications.
. New product form with low dust levels and improved flowability during dosing

Ludwigshafen , Germany – March 16, 2011. BASF's Uvinul® 4050 FF is the first monomeric hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) registered for food contact in polymer applications. The product is compliant with EU Directive 2002/72/EC as last amended in Regulation (EC) No. 975/2009 and with Food-Contact Notification (FCN) 647 in the US.

“Uvinul® 4050 FF is the low-molecular-weight HALS with the broadest food contact approval in plastic applications. Consumers benefit from longer-lasting end products, while plastic converters no longer risk any non-food contact cross-contamination,” says Klaus Koch, Global Product Manager for Light Stabilizers at BASF.

The specific light-stabilizing properties of Uvinul® 4050 FF, together with food contact approvals, make it the product of choice for all appliances made from ABS. It can also be used in packaging applications that require food contact approval, such as polypropylene (PP) food crates and bulk bags made of PP tapes.

Uvinul® 4050 FF, which replaces the chemically identical Uvinul® 4050 H, is supplied in an improved product form. “This new, more compact version generates considerably less dust and has better flowability than powders, making a significant contribution toward improved occupational health and safety during the compounding or masterbatching process,” explains Klaus Koch.

Within the EU, Uvinul® 4050 FF is approved for all types of polymer and food, with a specific migration limit (SML) of 50 ppb. In the US, Uvinul® 4050 FF is FDA cleared for concentrations of up to 0.25% in polypropylene and up to 0.5% in polystyrene. For styrene block copolymers and acrylonitrile copolymers, concentrations of up to 0.5% are approved.

BASF and CSM announce joint production development of biobased Succinic Acid
LUDWIGSHAFEN, GERMANY and DIEMEN, NETHERLANDS, September 30, 2009 -- BASF SE and CSM nv today announced the cooperation between their respective subsidiaries BASF Future Business GmbH and PURAC for the development of the production of biobased succinic acid. Both partners have been working on the development of the industrial fermentation and down-stream processing of biobased succinic acid and will start production of commercial quality and volumes in the second quarter of 2010.
In de video persentatie jaarcijfers 2010 was er van de ruim 40 sheets, slechts 1 besteed aan Purac afbreekbare Plastics. De vragen van analisten gingen voor ca. 80 % en meer over dat afbreekbare Platsics en op vragen samenwerking met BASF , was 't antwoord, daar komen wij in de loop van 2011 op terug met berichten. Waarom dat ontwijken en er later in 2011 erop terugkomen?

Wij (XEA.nl) zullen in de AVA van 3 mei daar zeker vragen overstellen.
