...hylene produced by Ten Cate of Holland. The fibres are given a natural resilience by their density, which is four times higher than that of conventional artificial turfs, and spiral auxiliary fibres that act as springs. The backing layer consists of Neopolen P, an expanded polypropylene (EPP) from BASF. The foam increases the playing comfort and minimises sporting injuries. The backing layer withstands repeated mechanical shocks. “With each shock, Neopolen P absorbs the incident energy and emits...

... only very few artificial turf products, for example, XL Turf from Canada (represented in Europe by Symbior Marketing AG, Zug/Switzerland). This artificial turf contains an impact-absorbing substrate made of the polypropylene foam, Neopolen P, from BASF and can be laid in less than two days. Nor is it a problem to dismantle the pitch again fairly quickly and lay it somewhere else. XL Turf is under discussion for the World Cup 2006 in Germany and for various clubs in the German Bundesliga. Third-...

...g capacity, which is achieved through skillful design of the geometry and appropriate material selection. An insert adhesivebonded to the seat back shell plays an important role here. It is produced from BASF’s energy-absorbing EPP foam, Neopolen P, which integrates different functions and serves as a carrier for modules. One key to the success of plastics in automotive applications, including car seat development, lies in the advances made in crash simulation. Precise virtual design at an early...
