BASF Launches First Biomass Balance Automotive Coatings in China
BASF’s ColorBrite® Airspace Blue ReSource basecoat, certified by REDcert² according to a biomass balance approach, made its debut in China. This is the first time BASF’s biomass balance automotive OEM coatings were introduced to Asia since the official launch of the basecoat in Europe in May 2022.
BASF has also received the biomass certification for its resins plant in Caojing, China, as well as its paint manufacturing sites in Minhang, China, and Caojing, which are both operated by BASF Shanghai Coatings Co., Ltd. With this certification, BASF has the capability to provide its customers in China a range of biomass balance-certified automotive coatings solutions using materials derived from renewable raw materials.
