Furniture Composites

Manufacturers of furniture composites face challenges when ensuring that the material durability of composites is resistant enough for long-lasting performance and producing visually appealing furniture. They must also reduce the environmental impact of furniture production and optimize production efficiency to minimize costs and waste.

Supporting sustainable solutions

BASF can contribute to addressing these challenges with dispersions and additives by enhancing the durability of composites, supporting aesthetic solutions, offering sustainable options, and improving processability. As an established partner for furniture manufacturers and suppliers in the furniture value chain, we support our customers with innovative solutions in the production of furniture composites and many other interior applications.
