(Nonwovens News).BASF BASF Bar Association of San Francisco (since 1872; San Francisco, California) BASF Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik (German chemical products company) BASF Builders Association of South Florida Innovative Fiber has introduced its Basofil fiber, a unique flame resistant melamine melamine (mĕl`əmēn'), common name for 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine. Melamine is a trimer (see polymer) of cyanamide, H2NC≡N, and is synthesized from calcium carbide. fiber, which is now being used by leading suppliers of component materials for the mattress industry. Basofil fiber provides effective resistance to open flames and its fine denier de·ni·er 1 n. One that denies: a denier of harsh realities. denier Noun creates a high loft for sleeping comfort.
