BTC Speciality
Chemical Distribution sells and markets the full range of BASF
dispersions, powders and additives as well as selected complementary
3rd party products for adhesives, construction, architectural coatings
and fibre bonding applications.
Multitude of different application fields for dispersions, powders and additives
Thanks
to the way they function, polymer dispersions are ideally suited for
bonding, finishing or protecting things from undesirable influences.
They are the basis for our high-performance binding agents as well as
for our adhesive materials used for high-performance self-adhesive
products. And our basic products for strong, economical and
environmentally compatible industrial adhesives are also
dispersion-based.
For decades, BASF has been at the cutting edge
of innovation for construction chemicals and architectural coatings.
Without our polymer-based raw materials for construction chemicals,
building, living, maintenance and repair would not be as simple and as
comfortable as they are today – and nowhere near as environmentally
friendly! BASF's close cooperation with raw material suppliers,
manufacturers of paints and construction chemicals, and the process
industry, has resulted in numerous remarkable innovations.
For
dispersions, powders and additives BTC offers you the competence and
the continuity of BASF, combined with the flexibility and speed of its
regional sales organisations.
