• Next-generation high performance light stabilizer protects outdoor plastics
• More seasons, less waste with Tinuvin® NOR® for agricultural films
• Advanced UV protection for rotomolding applications with Irgastab®

HZ Info,On April 21 to 24, 2026 at Chinaplas BASF highlights its plastic additive innovations for outdoor applications, plasticulture and industrial applications at National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Hongqiao, Shanghai, China, hall 7.2, booth C41.

In China, greenhouses using films stabilized with BASF¡¯s Tinuvin^® NOR benefit from longer service life, enhanced resistance to agrochemicals, and reliable UV protection for grape cultivation.

Designed to withstand year-round challenging weather conditions

From coastal humidity to inland heat, outdoor plastics face year-round stress. Tinuvin NOR 600 is designed to provide performance for exactly these challenging conditions, combining long£¿term weatherability with strong acid resistance. The additive works synergistically with other BASF light stabilizers to significantly boost the resistance of PVC, its alloys, and polyolefin-based plastics to UV radiation and heat. This makes it particularly suitable for applications such as for example, roofing membranes, truck tarpaulin, and artificial turf. Tinuvin NOR 600 is offered in a free-flowing, low-dust form that allows processors and masterbatch manufacturers to handle it safely and efficiently while developing durable, differentiated solutions. The product sets a new benchmark in light stabilization and enables customers to meet the increasing performance requirements for outdoor plastic applications.

At Chinaplas 2026, BASF presents innovative solutions powered by its VALERAS® portfolio, enabling sustainability across the entire plastics lifecycle.More seasons for agricultural plastic films

China is the world's largest consumer of plastic films in agriculture. Enhancing the durability of mulch and greenhouse films translates to reduced waste, greater efficiency, and a future where high-performance films contribute directly to China¡¯s long-erm ecological goals. BASF¡¯s Tinuvin NOR platform provides advanced stabilizer solutions that protect agricultural films against strong sunlight, heat and agricultural chemicals at the same time, providing durability and reliable performance. From the vegetable greenhouses of Shandong to the sprawling horticulture bases in Yunnan, farmers can rely on advanced plastics to protect their crops from intense sunlight, fluctuating temperatures, and increasingly unpredictable weather. By using the NOR technology, film manufacturers can ensure long-lasting protection, easy processing, and compliance with organic farming standards.

Sustainability across the entire plastics lifecycle is enabled through the BASF VALERAS^® portfolio of additive solutions and services, of which Tinuvin solutions are an integral part.

Reliable performance for demanding rotomolding applications

Rotomolding applications such as water tanks or logistic containers for industrial goods including chemicals or other hazardous materials require high material performance to prevent leakages and environmental contamination. The material has to withstand harsh weather conditions, wide temperature fluctuations during transport through  temperature zones, and long-term outdoor storage.

Water storage and container manufacturers looking for advancing their material performance can turn to BASF¡¯s Irgastab product solutions. The newly developed portfolio  for rotomolded containers or liquid tanks, can  provide UV protection for up to 20 years while improving productivity and processing efficiency at the same time.

Chinaplas visitors can find BASF at hall 7.2, booth C41.
