At the India International Leather Fair (IILF) in Chennai taking place January 31 to February 3, 2012, BASF focuses on delivering comprehensive solutions that include both product and process applications. Newly launched products with high performance and ecological benefits will also be introduced at the fair.

The fruit of our working closely together is the on-going innovation in our compact system solution, which reduces steps and product consumption in different segments of the leather making process. Another example is how we offer solution to our customers to help them produce leather articles that meet label requirements, eg the German SG-label for footwear. As always, we will continue to lead in our research on chemistry and ecology.’
