BASF EMTEC CS II - 2002 - EU - Chrome Super II
"Actually, these are among our favourite Type II tapes, they're very good, and still have SOME chrome in the formulation. These are just fantastic to look at and use. Some of the later Denon tapes use this exact same shell." Tony Villa.

About BASF:
BASF SE is a German chemical company and the largest chemical producer in the world.
Founded in 1865, BASF became one of the true architects of cassette technology. Their deep expertise in magnetic chemistry shaped everything from early ferric formulations to the reference‑grade chromium dioxide tapes that defined real Type II performance. BASF shells were engineered with precision, their oxide coatings were remarkably consistent, and their true‑chrome behaviour remains instantly recognizable to anyone who’s ever dialed in a deck properly.
Even after the BASF name left consumer media, their formulations lived on through EMTEC and later Recording The Masters, keeping the BASF lineage active in modern tape production. For collectors and recording enthusiasts, BASF’s influence is still very much alive, a technical legacy that continues to matter every time one of their tapes hits the heads.
