High-Performance Construction
The full range of BASF Construction Chemical products - from wall and cladding systems, expansion control technologies and concrete admixtures to adhesives and sealants, coatings, and repair and strengthening systems - can be employed to create solutions that contribute to lower energy and water consumption, enable the utilization of waste materials in finished products and protect, maintain and restore structures.
The individual business lines of BASF Construction Chemicals contribute to sustainable construction with unique product offerings and technical support for the design and contracting communities. With the United States Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system emerging as a preferred tool to document the improved performance of structures built to sustainable standards, our businesses are working with customers to identify how our products can be used to contribute to the best possible design with the required in-service properties.
