Innovations that protect structures against the elements

Building design is becoming more innovative and complex which has led to more stringent building codes. This has put pressure on builders, contractors and architects to ensure that their buildings are properly protected against the elements.

BASF recognizes the importance of innovations around the everchanging building codes and the needs of the market for more innovative products. Our portfolio of polymers and additives help to formulate strong and durable products for air weather barriers, EIFS, reflective roof coatings, and waterproof coatings.
