BASF KONZ 208/F TPU Elastomer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of BASF KONZ 208/F in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) formulations?

A: KONZ 208/F is a specialized processing aid and surface modifier designed to improve melt flow, reduce extrusion die buildup, and enhance surface gloss and slip characteristics in TPU compounds—without compromising mechanical performance or thermal stability.


Q2: Is KONZ 208/F compatible with common TPU grades, including aromatic and aliphatic types?

A: Yes, KONZ 208/F demonstrates broad compatibility with both aromatic and aliphatic TPU resins across major molecular weight ranges. It disperses homogeneously during standard melt compounding processes such as twin-screw extrusion.


Q3: How is KONZ 208/F typically incorporated into TPU production?

A: It is commonly added directly to the TPU base resin prior to extrusion or injection molding—either as a dry blend or via side-feeding during compounding. Pre-dispersed masterbatches are also feasible for enhanced dosing consistency.


Q4: Does KONZ 208/F affect the final TPU’s regulatory compliance for sensitive applications?

A: KONZ 208/F is formulated without intentionally added heavy metals, phthalates, or halogenated substances. While it is not itself certified for food contact or medical use, its composition supports formulation pathways that may meet relevant regional requirements when evaluated as part of the full compound.
