Many components in electrical and electronic devices require flame
re tardant properties for safety reasons. BASF offers solutions that take
equal account of safety aspects and environmental protection. The
product range includes plastics with organic or inorganic flame retardants
that may contain halogens or be halogen-free depending on the
respective application. In the 21st century, plastics are providing the
basis for revolutionary communication and information technologies.
The data highway depends on ultra-high performance fiber optic cables.
Here, polymers are already doing valuable service as glass fiber coatings
and will one day probably replace glass fiber completely. Screens and
monitors too cannot manage without plastics. The optical sharpness of
flat panel displays is now improved by a polymer coating. Plastic films
have already replaced TV tubes and the next generation of electronic
devices will also rely on innovations based on plastics.
