Our Product Portfolio

Our comprehensive range of styrene acrylics offer outstanding ink rheology and stability, very small and narrow particle size distribution and, for outdoor applications, high weather fastness. Take a look for yourself.

Additives for ceramics

BASF has a strong portfolio of additives for the coloration of ceramic materials like tiles and tableware. Tiles can be decorated with inkjet printing, giving flexibility and efficiency for various, even customized decors. To fulfill the strong growing demand of digital ceramic inks, we offer a broad range of solvents, and additives like dispersants, defoamers and humectants.

Water-based resins

Water-based inks cover the majority of inks for inktjet. This will continue to grow in market share and BASF has the resins to support this development. We are offering styrene acrylic resins and resin solution for water-based primers, inks and varnishes.
