Ludwigshafen/Germany – BASF has officially commissioned its high-performance dispersant production line at the Jiangbei New Material Technology Park, Nanjing, China. This investment enables local production of the most advanced dispersants using Controlled Free Radical Polymerization (CFRP) technology. The overall global capacity increase improves supply reliability and flexibility, along with production from the company’s site in Heerenveen, the Netherlands.

Dr. Stephan Kothrade, member of the Board of Executive Directors of BASF and Chief Technology Officer, attended the commissioning of the new line. “This new plant will establish a stable local supply to support fast-growing market demand in the industrial coatings and automotive sectors. With our advanced CFRP technology for dispersants and state-of-the-art production processes, the plant will enable the green transformation of our customers in Asia with lower PCF products,” he said.
