Expansion of Defoamer Capacity
BASF has expanded its defoamer capacity at the Dilovasi plant in Turkey by setting up a new production line. This expansion aims to meet the growing demand for Foamaster® and Foamstar® products in South-East Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The increased capacity will enable BASF to improve service to customers in these regions by reducing lead times and ensuring faster delivery.
Environmental Impact
The new production line also contributes to reducing transportation-related emissions by significantly cutting down the distances required for product delivery. This aligns with BASF's commitment to providing sustainable solutions in the chemical industry.
Strengthening Additives Business
The Dilovasi plant plays a crucial role in BASF’s additives business, serving as a key supply point for Dispex® AA products, including defoamers. The recent expansion of the polyacrylic-dispersing-agent line, along with the increased defoamer capacity, further strengthens the plant’s role in BASF’s overall additives business.
Importance of Defoamers
Defoamers are essential in the production of paints, coatings, and inks as they prevent foaming and defect formation. BASF’s Foamaster® and Foamstar® products are recognized for their high performance in defoaming applications, making them valuable components in various industrial formulations.
