BASF recently announced that it is changing the name of two dispersions plants in China, BASF Paper Chemicals Huizhou and BASF Paper Chemicals Jiangsu, to BASF Specialty Material Huizhou and BASF Specialty Material Jiangsu, respectively, to better reflect their diverse product offerings for various industries. The decision was prompted by inquiries from some customers regarding the previous names.

Jeff Liu, business director, Dispersions Greater China, BASF, explained, “Besides supplying paper coatings, these two production plants also supply a wide range of water-based polymer dispersions to various industries, including construction, paints, personal care, and more. Therefore, the original names did not fully represent the full scope of our capabilities.”

BASF’s dispersions business unit is a key supplier of dispersions to a diverse range of sectors, including construction, paints, adhesives, personal care and the rapidly growing lithium-ion battery industry in China.
