Dispersions for the

adhesive industry
Innovative raw materials
for numerous applications
Not all adhesives are the same! These days, almost
all industries are dependent on innovative adhesive
technologies. Modern adhesives are the drivers of
technological and industrial progress and make a con-
siderable contribution towards sustainable success.

Adhesives need to meet an ever-expanding range of
requirements, which constantly leads to new challenges
for manufacturers of adhesives. As a supplier of
adhesive raw materials, BASF helps adhesive manu-
facturers to be even more successful. By continuously
improving the performance of our adhesive raw
materials, we open up new fields of application for
our customers.
The range offered by BASF includes aqueous poly-
mer dispersions and adhesive additives that have
been optimized to suit a variety of applications. Our
products are used especially in packaging, trans-
portation and furniture.

BASF – Partner of the adhesive industry
The many different, technically demanding require-
ments faced by today's adhesives call for a wide
range of technologies and raw materials. Furthermore,
an increasing awareness of health and environmental
issues has intensified the demand for water-based
and/or solvent-free adhesive systems.

As a partner of the adhesive industry, BASF offers a BASF at a glance

large and innovative range of adhesive raw materials
and additives. Our products facilitate the manufac-
turing of top-performance, environmentally friendly
adhesives for a wide variety of applications. Combining
comprehensive technical support with high levels of
competence concerning toxicology and environmental
issues, BASF is one of the preferred suppliers of the
adhesive industry.
BASF is the world’s leading chemical company –
The Chemical Company. With about 111,000 emplo-
yees, six Verbund sites and close to 370 production
sites worldwide we serve customers and partners in
almost all countries of the world.
We combine economic success, social responsibility
and environmental protection. Through science and
innovation we enable our customers in almost all
industries to meet the current and future needs of
society. Our products and system solutions contribute
to conserving resources, ensuring healthy food and
nutrition and helping to improve quality of life.

BASF not only has in-depth experience in the manufacturing of

water-based adhesives but also in their application and coating.
We are able to simulate the processes and technologies used by
our customers. For example, our state-of-the-art coating center
features a pilot coater and a laboratory coater that are specially
suited to produce packaging laminates.
