Acronal® MB BC 5555 – Styrene acrylic binder with traceable biogenic content for ceramic tile adhesives (D1) and primers

Acronal® MB BC 5555 is produced from both fossil-based monomers and bio-based raw materials. The bio-based component can be quantified using the 14C method.

Application of ceramic tile adhesive (D1) and primer products.

Taking sustainability to the next level – with zero CO₂ emissions

The bio-based raw material in Acronal® MB BC 5555 leads to a reduction of the product carbon footprint (PCF) by around 31% compared to a purely fossil-based product grade.

To reduce the PCF even further, BASF’s biomass balance (BMB) approach is applied to the remaining fossil part of the polymer.

100% of the electricity used in the production process of Acronal® MB BC 5555 comes from renewable sources.

The result is an acrylic binder for the formulation of CTA (D1) and primer products with a cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint (PCF) of zero.
