High-performance dispersants play a vital role in coatings, improving pigment dispersion, colour performance and system stability. CFRP technology meets the demands of high-end markets for a broader colour gamut and superior product performance.
BASF has officially commissioned a high-performance dispersant production line at its Jiangbei New Material Technology Park in Nanjing (China). The new facility enables local production of advanced dispersants using Controlled Free Radical Polymerisation (CFRP) technology, enhancing global supply reliability and flexibility alongside output from the company’s Heerenveen site in the Netherlands.
“This new plant will establish a stable local supply to support fast-growing market demand in the industrial coatings and automotive sectors. With our advanced CFRP technology for dispersants and state-of-the-art production processes, the plant will enable the green transformation of our customers in Asia with lower PCF products,” has stated Stephan Kothrade, member of the Board of Executive Directors of BASF SE and Chief Technology Officer.
“Strong partnerships define our business. By expanding CFRP production in Nanjing, together with supply from the Heerenveen site in the Netherlands, we can respond faster and provide the flexibility that our customers need to thrive in a dynamic market,” has added Gops Pillay, President, Global Operating Division, BASF.
“Introducing CFRP technology at the Nanjing plant reinforces our competitive edge. By delivering advanced dispersant solutions, we empower customers to lead in performance,” has concluded Sylvain Huguenard, Vice-President of Global Additives Business Management.
