Recent Development

Ø  March, 2020: BASF and Hengst have developed the world’s first reusable plastic spin-on oil filter module for cars. Blue.on is the sustainable alternative to conventional spin-on modules made from metal, since it does not need to be replaced during filter change. It is made from Ultramid® Structure LFX, a long glass fiber-reinforced high-performance plastic from BASF whose specific properties provide new opportunities for metal substitution.

Ø  December, 2019: The Skin Care Research Laboratory and Processing Development Research Laboratory of Kao Corporation developed a protection technology that provides control of the uncomfortable skin surface temperature increase and heat sensation caused by sun exposure. This technology consists of thin titanium dioxide flakes that block the near-infrared (NIR) rays in sunlight in a highly efficiently manner.
