Brands

Dispex® dispersing agents for water-based systems and universal pigment concentrates offer outstanding viscosity reduction, increased color intensity and exceptional hiding power.

Loxanol® film-forming and coalescing agents, open-time prolongers and plasticizers are designed for low-VOC and sustainable raw materials.

Sovermol® line of natural-oil polyols, derived from renewable raw materials like rapeseed oil and castor oil, typically contains 80-100% bio-content. These products offer excellent resistance to hydrolysis, chemicals, UV degradation, and long-term weathering performance. These properties allow for a reduced carbon footprint both within the coating formulation and in the long-lasting performance of the finished coating.

Hydropalat® wetting agents offer outstanding substrate-wetting, colorant-compatibilizing, flow-control, slip-control and anti-mar agents for water-based formulations.

Lupragen® is used in the industrial market for applications in chemical & industrial manufacturing and chemical manufacturing.

Foamaster® mineral oil defoamers for water-based systems deliver a perfect balance between excellent foam suppression, micro-foam removal, high compatibility, long-term efficiency, easy handling and environmental compliance.

FoamStar® defoamers Award-winning technology based on a hyper-branched polymer with a 3-dimensional star-shaped structure. Unlike conventional mineral oil and silicone defoamers, our FoamStar® technology breaks down foam on a molecular level.

Rheovis® additives encompass a broad portfolio of synthetic rheology modifiers designed for aqueous systems, including non-ionic associative (HEUR / HMPE), anionic associative (HASE) and non-associative anionic (ASE) technologies. Each product class has its own properties and applications to enable formulators to achieve their desired rheology profile with all types of resins. RHEOVIS PU and PE series of associative thickeners stand out as a class of groundbreaking additives based primarily on hydrophobically modified polyether and polyurethane derivatives. RHEOVIS HS and ASE are pH activated polyacrylate technology for ease of handling and in-can stability.

Efka® range of additives includes highly efficient and effective dispersing agents, wetting agents and surface modifiers, defoamers and rheology modifiers for solvent-borne formulations, including eco-friendly solutions.

Acrodur® in automotive. Water-based binder; no added formaldehyde; low in VOC. Suitable for a wide range of natural fibers, such as hemp, kenaf, wood. Acrodur® products are innovative, low-emission alternatives to conventional formaldehyde-based resins such as phenol, melamine or urea resins.

Tinuvin® is used across various markets including adhesives & sealants, automotive & transportation, building & construction, consumer goods, industrial, paints & coatings, and printing & packaging.

acResin® is used to manufacture specialty products in the pressure sensitive adhesives sector. These include labels for the food industry and various special adhesive tapes for the automotive and construction sector. acResin offers both high-performance application properties and sustainability advantages. BASF invested several tens of millions of euros to build the new facility; the additional capacity it offers is now available.
