European Coatings Award 2007 goes to BASF
BASF AG has received the European coatings Award 2007. BASF researchers were awarded the prestigious prize for the new AQAGloss® binder for high-gloss water-based coatings. The prize is presented every two years on the eve of the European Coatings Show (ECS) and goes to the best scientific presentation of new product technologies.
BASF's presentation of AQAGloss at the ECS show cases an innovation in the field of water-based coatings. "AQAGloss is a brand-new dispersion-based binder for the manufacture of high gloss water-based coatings and thus a genuine alternative to conventional solvent-based architectural coatings", explained Jan-Peter Sander, head of BASF's Adhesive and Construction Polymers regional business unit and thus responsible for the architectural coatings business in Europe. The product's advantage: Paints based on AQAGloss can already meet the environmental standards of the future (EU Directive 2004/42/EC and emissions tests based on the guidelines of Germany's Committee for Health-Related Evaluation of Building Products - AgBB).
