BASF Corporation
performance loves low VOC
COMPANY DESCRIPTION: As the world’s leading chemical company, BASF helps formulators of architectural, industrial and automotive
coatings deliver sustainable, eco-efficient solutions that meet or exceed
performance requirements.
TECHNOLOGIES: We provide virtually every ingredient that a coatings manufacturer needs. Among our priorities is a focus on sustainable
solutions – e.g. low- and zero-VOC products, APEO-free and formaldehyde-free materials, low energy curing, replacement of heavy metal
pigments, and latex with minimal environmental impact.
TECHNICAL SERVICES: BASF supports the needs of coatings
manufacturers with a depth and breadth of technologies and cross-functional teams with expertise in chemistry, applications and formulations. BASF offers local support capabilities from sites in Charlotte, NC;
Newport, DE; and, Wyandotte, MI.
