More sustainable design of playgrounds and leisure areas with polyurethanes \u00a9 STOCKMEIER Urethanes USA<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

BASF and STOCKMEIER Urethanes USA, Inc. (\u201cSTOCKMEIER Urethanes\u201d) have announced the commercial production of Stobielast\u00ae<\/sup> S polyurethane binders for playground and recreational surfacing made with 100% domestically produced Biomass Balance (BMB) Lupranate\u00ae<\/sup> methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). BASF produces the BMB MDI at its Verbund site in Geismar, Louisiana. This achievement represents a pivotal milestone in the surfacing industry and highlights both companies’ commitments to driving a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of BMB Lupranate in the polyurethane manufacturing process allows STOCKMEIER Urethanes to leverage more sustainable solutions without the need for reformulations, new production equipment or changes to its supply chain. Creating polyurethane binders from mass balanced isocyanates complements STOCKMEIER Urethanes\u2019 efforts to promote environmental stewardship and a more circular economy. The Stobielast S product line also includes water-based & solvent-free coatings, GREENGUARD and GREENGUARD GOLD certified products, and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased labeled products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“With playground season in full swing across North America, we are excited to team with BASF and become the first U.S. polyurethane pour-in-place (PIP) binder manufacturer to forge a domestic partnership over BASF\u2019s BMB isocyanates,” said Christian Martinkat, President and CEO of STOCKMEIER Urethanes USA, Inc. “This collaboration marks a significant advancement toward enhancing product innovation and expanding manufacturing capabilities in the surfacing industry. We can take a big step toward greater sustainability of our products by offering a version of our high-quality PIP binders produced with renewable feedstock-based MDI. This partnership advances our goal of reducing STOCKMEIER Urethanes’ carbon footprint worldwide.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt BASF\u2019s Monomers division, we are proud to partner with STOCKMEIER Urethanes as the company scales up its more sustainable production of PIP binders using BMB MDI,\u201d said Stefan Doerr, Senior Vice President, Monomers North America at BASF. \u201cAll of our BMB MDI products are certified according to globally recognized ISCC PLUS and REDcert\u00b2 standards and produced right here in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BASF aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2050<\/a>. Bio-circular feedstocks used to make BMB MDI play an important role in reducing the product carbon footprint (PCF), which sums up the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by a product over the different stages of its life cycle. BASF\u2019s Monomers division is following an ambitious sustainability roadmap<\/a> and will expand its portfolio of products with a lower CO2<\/sub> footprint while committing to providing a circular option in every major product line by 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like BASF, STOCKMEIER Urethanes is deeply committed to sustainability, actively participating in the Responsible Care initiative through the American Chemistry Council (ACC) to enhance health, safety and environmental practices. The company implements various sustainability measures, such as waste reduction and energy efficiency in its production processes. By prioritizing sustainability across its operations and collaborating with stakeholders including customers, suppliers, and industry partners, the company strives for responsible growth and innovation, aiming to meet the market demand for greener solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
