BASF increases capacity for copolymers of vinyl chloride in Ludwigshafen, Germany – 6 million investment to increase capacity to 12,000tons/year

BASF is increasing its production capacity for copolymers of vinyl chloride to 12,000tons/year at its Ludwigshafen site in Germany. The company will invest 6 million to increase this capacity in response to increasing demand for special coating systems.

BASF markets its vinyl chloride copolymers under the Laroflex^® trademark. Vinyl chloride copolymers are employed as binders in solvent- based coatings applied to iron, steel, non-ferrous metals, plastics, mineral substrates like concrete as well as for solvent-based printing inks and marking paints. Their most important applications are in anti-corrosion coatings such as shipbuilding and in packaging printing.
