This is a ChemNet event for 16-18 year old students. See science in action at BASF, the chemical company. BASF began manufacturing at the Bradford site over 50 years ago and today boasts one of the largest and most productive single site chemical plants in the UK.
The session will start with an introduction which includes company history, product demonstrations and a taster of polymer chemistry and how they are so important for the products BASF manufacture. Health, safety and the environment are of great importance for BASF staff and they will be showing you how they minimise risk and their environmental impact on society.
You will hear from a range of people working at the BASF site who will talk about their career routes and show how diverse working in the chemical industry can be.
Finally, we will go on a site tour and follow the formulation and chemistry of liquid dispersion polymers and see how they are incorporated into BASF's personal care products.
