BASF product certified harmless to health

Basotect, the melamine resin foam from BASF, is now certified to the Oeko-Tex Standard 100. Tests carried out by an independent test institute have shown that the two grades Basotect V 3012 and Basotect G satisfy the human ecological requirements of the standard in product class III. The two product grades, which are used in household and construction applications, are thus deemed to be harmless to health in usage and processing. The two product types were tested for extractable heavy metals, banned azo dyes, formaldehyde, organic tin compounds, chlorinated benzenes and phenols, perfluorinated compounds, plasticisers, and highly volatile organic compounds. www.basf.comNike
