BASF to Increase Prices for Acrylic-Based Polymers

September 8, 2013

CHARLOTTE, NC – Effective September 23, 2013, or as contracts allow, BASF will increase prices for all Acronal^® acrylic and styrene-acrylic polymers by $0.04 per wet pound in North America.

The increase is necessitated by recent price increases of acrylic monomers, a key raw material.

In this webinar, we will demonstrate how silane and silicone technologies can modify polyaspartic chemistries to increase performance characteristics of traditional metal coating finishes. In particular, we will highlight technical capabilities of glycolic silane technology that can enable coating system formulations to be virtually free of latent alcohol or other VOC emissions.

This webinar will discuss the different chemistries of fluorosurfactants and other additives and how this affects their performance in coatings. Fluorosurfactants are multifunctional and direct one-for-one replacement is rarely possible, but careful selection of additive combinations can achieve comparable performance in different coatings formulations.
