■ Geared to meet market demand, including newly developed industries
Hong Kong SAR, China – May 30, 2024 – Today BASF celebrates the inauguration of its second polymer dispersions production line at the Daya Bay site in Huizhou, China. This expansion directly responds to the rapidly growing local demand for high-quality dispersions, reaffirming BASF’s commitment to serving its valued regional customers.

The plant’s strategic location near rawmaterial suppliers shortens delivery lead times. This enhances BASF’scompetitiveness and agility in meeting customer needs. With its augmented production capacity, the plant will continue to provide comprehensive support to various industries, including paints, construction, packaging and adhesives.
BASF remains steadfast in its dedication to developing new and cutting-edge products that address the evolving demands in China. Andreas Fechtenkoetter, Senior Vice President, Dispersions Asia Pacific, BASF, elaborated on the company’s strategy for expanding production capacity: “Both existing demand and the expansion of our product offerings drive our growth. For instance, in addition to architectural and construction coatings, we have expanded our product portfolio to cater to the battery industry. Our Licity® and Basonal® Power products are essential anode binders for lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, expanding our production capacity is crucial to meet the increasing demand for batteries in China and the wider Asia Pacific region. It also explains the rationale behind the name change transitioning from BASF Paper Chemicals Huizhou to BASF Specialty Material Huizhou earlier this year, a move intended to indicate our broader range of product offerings.”
BASF is determined to push the boundaries of innovation within traditional industries, as exemplified by the pioneering proprietary IO-Hybrid Technology. “This technology goes beyond the product’s basic functions, delivering additional benefits to customers and end users. Interior wall coatings featuring IO-Hybrid Technology enhance opacity, resulting in superior interior design aesthetics, and provide antimicrobial properties within 24 hours. Furthermore, this innovative technology eliminates the need for customers to add in-can biocide to paints, thereby reducing VOC emissions,” said Mirian Tiemi Zanchetta-Sbragia, Vice President, Business Management, Dispersions Asia Pacific, BASF.
Since its establishment in 2012, the Daya Bay plant has played an important role in supporting BASF’s growth in Southern China. The groundbreaking for the second production line took place in Q4 2022. As of Q2 2024, the new production line is fully operational, further reinforcing BASF’s dedication to driving innovation and meeting the evolving needs of industries worldwide.
