BASF Officially Opens
New Master Builders
Solutions Training Center in
Oldenburg

The new Master Builders Solutions
Training Center at BASF´s site in
Oldenburg, Germany, has been offi-
cially opened. The new training cen-
ter in Oldenburg has been created to
train and inform customers and BASF´s
Master Builders Solutions experts on
the professional application and han-
dling of Performance Flooring and
Waterproofing products and systems
– thus fostering their professionalism,
knowledge and experience.

Under the brand MasterTop, BASF offers a broad portfolio of innovative flooring systems for a wide range of applications. The requirements faced by each individual floor are different – therefore products have been developed in such a way that they can be tailored individually to meet specific performance criteria, the technical and aesthetic requirements, as well as allowing fast, cost-effective application. The non-solvented MasterTop flooring systems feature low emissions, high strength and low maintenance expenses combined with high durability. Thanks to the wide variety of colors available and liquid application, these flooring systems also allow individual seamless floor designs with respect to shapes and colors.

The MasterSeal range from BASF includes high-performance impregnation and waterproofing products to protect structures against the undesired ingress of water, moisture and contaminations from their surroundings. The products include rapid-hardening waterproofing agents for manual or sprayed application that can be used for the refurbish-ment and protection of many different types of buildings. These market-leading innovative technologies are suitable for the waterproofing of all types of structures, including car parks, road surfaces, industrial plants, water treatment and wastewater plants.
