Taiwan's King Steel Joins Forces with BASF on a Low-Carbon Circular Economy

"After years of development, we have launched NexCell(R) - the world's first supercritical fluid-foamed elastomer injection solution - to inject energy into circular economies and global sustainable efforts," said Jim Chen, General Manager of King Steel. "I'm thrilled to cooperate with BASF and Otrajet on ESG and developing safe, carbon-reducing products to build a sustainable society and ecology."

"With the support of King Steel's NexCell(R) technology, we are confident in the market development of sustainable material solutions using physical foaming processes to replace traditional non-recyclable materials," said Kin Wah Chay, Managing Director of BASF Taiwan. "In addition to jointly exploring business opportunities in footwear, sports and leisure industries, we look forward to more collaboration with King Steel on sustainable materials and processes to contribute to the development of circular economy."

"NexCell(R) foamed elastomer is 100 percent recyclable." said Wayne Chen, Development Associate Manager of Otrajet "As the process has cut out chemical cross-linking agents, products can be recycled into raw materials and returned to manufacturing, completing the rubber and plastics industry's circular economy puzzle."

On October 19, King Steel will unveil NexCell(R) in Dusseldorf, Germany, at K-Fair, the world's largest rubber and plastics exhibition, and demonstrate the NexCell(R) process using BASF's thermoplastic polyurethane materials, exhibiting at the King Steel booth.
