Glissopal® grades manufactured at Antwerp serve as a key intermediate product for the manufacture of additives for fuels (e.g., detergents) and lubricants (e.g., dispersants). Beyond that, the manufactured V-Types polyisobutene portfolio has specifically been designed to meet the demanding requirements of the lubricant industry.

Catamold® inject your ideas Get to know the inventor and the leading supplier of ready-to-mold catalytic debinding Metal Injection Molding (MIM) feedstocks, Catamold®. BASF’s Metal Systems team develops, produces and markets a high-quality range of innovative and sustainable MIM feedstocks for Automotive, Information & Communication Technology and Functional applications.

Emulan® grades are emulsifiers for the preparation of stable oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions. Some of the Emulan® grades are also suitable for making or stabilizing water-based dispersions; such as wax, polymer, and rubber dispersions, which are used for impregnating, lubricating, cleaning, polishing, protecting surfaces, or preventing dust. The choice of the right emulsifier is extremely important for producing a stable emulsion. Its emulsifying performance and range of applications are determined by the nature of the hydrophilic and lipophilic parts of its molecules. Oil-in-water emulsions are usually obtained if the hydrophilic character predominates and water-in-oil emulsions if the lipophilic character is predominant.

Lugalvan® Corrosion inhibitors for detergent & cleaners and industrial formulators

Lutropur® - the friendly acid. The purest form of MSA, methanesulfonic acid made by BASF

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.

Lupranol® polyol portfolio offers a diverse range of polyether polyols including conventional and graft polyols with the following typical values. The Lupraphen® polyol portfolio offers polyester polyols for CASE and footwear applications. These polyols are optimized for mechanical properties and hydrolysis resistance of the final product.

PolyTHF® is a colourless, clear liquid (lower molecular weights) or white, waxy solid at room temperature. It will melt to yield a co lourless, clear liquid. It is soluble in many conventional organic solvents, partly infinitely mixable. It is practically insoluble in water.

Hydrenol® by BASF is a vegetable-based, lubricant, foam inhibitor and consistency giving factor. Hydrenol® MY is used in cosmetic applications.

Sokalan® Dispersing agents on polycarboxylate basis and special polymers for detergent & cleaners and industrial formulators
