Ludwigshafen (ots)

In this podcast you will learn how chemistry
improves the cost effectiveness of environmentally and climate 
friendly wind energy.
It is generally less well known that modern wind turbines would 
hardly be conceivable without innovative solutions in chemistry. The 
huge rotor blades can be up to 60 meters long and are subjected to 
enormous dynamic stress. Here chemistry comes into play. It makes it 
possible to lower the production costs of wind turbines. This allows 
wind energy to be a sustainable contribution to the future energy mix
with other energy sources on the way to a low carbon society.
BASF Corporate Communications started a regular bilingual Podcast 
service in April 2007 to report on BASF's innovations and research 
and development activities in an easy-to-understand, informative and 
entertaining way.
Listen to the audio reportage with Dr. Gregor Daun (Business 
Manager Epoxy Systems at BASF), Ivan Costantini (Industrial Coatings 
Relius) and Jörg Hermes (Global Sales Manager Windenergy at 
Industrial Coatings Relius).

    BASF Podcast: The Chemical Reporter - What is dry-cleaning?

    Ludwigshafen (ots) - When a shirt gets dirty, you usually just have to chuck it in the washing machine, add a little laundry detergent, and let the combination of water and soap do the rest. But some pieces of clothing are too delicate to put in there. As the name implies, dry-cleaning doesn't use any water - or any soap, for that matter. In ...
