摘要

Together with Faurecia, one of the world's largest automotive suppliers, headquartered in Nanterre France, BASF has developed a car seat back that makes use of new plastics technologies. Third partner in the development team is Performance Materials Corporation (PMC) located in Camarillo, California, U.S.A.

The concept seat has now been further optimized and is marketed by Faurecia as the SUSCO 1.5 (abbreviation for sustainable comfort). It will be exhibited at BASF's stand (C21/D21, Hall 5) at the International plastics trade fair K 2010 in Dusseldorf, Germany in October. The automotive supplier projects that the first serial seats will hit the road in about four years.
