  • BASF to feature Tinuvin NOR 112 and unveil a new HALS solution for agricultural film performance.
  • Partnerships span packaging, plasticulture in Egypt and climate-resilient roofing in Eastern Africa.

BASF SE (BASFY - Free Report) is set to showcase its VALERAS portfolio’s journey at K 2025. BASFY will highlight how issues of plastic circularity, durability and carbon transparency have been addressed by its additive solutions and services. Since VALERAS’ debut in K 2022, it has advanced sustainability across the plastic lifecycle.

In K 2025, BASFY will feature two innovations, Tinuvin NOR112 to support organic farming and reveal developments in a new hindered amine light stabilizer (“HALS”) solution. The former has been developed to enhance greenhouse film performance against harsh agrochemicals. The NOR portfolio has continued to set such benchmarks in agricultural plastics. Tinuvin NOR 211 AR and 112 AR can handle strong sunlight, heat and chemicals while being cost-effective. Tinuvin NOR 356 offers exceptional durability and performance.

Such innovations with strong resistance to agrochemical contaminants, a dust-free form and the absence of critical hazard labels ensure that BASFY emerges as the most trusted choice in the field of agrochemicals and agricultural film applications.

The K 2025 will also serve as a platform for BASFY to not just showcase innovation but also initiate dialogue with external partners from the industry and internal experts to gain insights and explore solutions to challenges. Additionally, BASFY will also underline successful partnerships that enable transformation across various sectors, such as a closed-loop agricultural packaging solution with Cleanfarms and McKenzie/Snyder, a partnership with Shouman Group that has strengthened Egypt’s plasticulture market and a collaboration with Takazuri Ltd. to create climate-resilient roofing solutions in Eastern Africa.

BASFY stock has gained 10.6% over the past year against the industry’s 19.2% decline.
