Although condensation resins formed from melamine and formaldehyde are typically too brittle to be used in fiber applications, BASF has developed Basofil, a heat and flame resistant fiber based on melamine. Basofil has a fiber diameter of between 8 and 20 microns, a density of 1.4 grams per cubic meter, a tenacity of between 2 and 4 centinewtons per dtex, and an elongation at break of between 15 and 25 percent. Basofil exhibits a high limiting oxygen index, low thermal conductivity, low inflammability, excellent heat dimensional stability, flame resistance, and chemical resistance. The fiber is suitable for the production of woven and nonwoven fabrics and may be blended with other technical and natural fibers. Pigments and dyes can be added to the resin prior to extrusion, which results in greater color flexibility and a higher degree of lightfastness. The resin is currently used in protective clothing for firefighters and industrial workers.
