on sustainable development
Formulators serving the furniture and flooring industry aim to preserve the beauty of
coated wood and, at the same time, face considerable pressure to manufacture in
a resource-efficient, socially responsible, and ecologically reasonable way. With our
Sustainable Solution Steering method we have evaluated the value chain from the
cradle to the grave considering industry- and region-specific views in our markets.
After identifying key sustainability drivers, our resins and additives have been system
atically reviewed. This approach allows us to assess the sustainability performance
of each of our products in its specific application. We create chemistry that makes
performance love sustainable solutions.
For the furniture and flooring industry, we identified – Let’s take a joint look at your specific requirements and

Further reducing the outputs of volatile organic compounds (VOC) helps to lower the
impact of emissions on our climate as well as to improve indoor air quality for end
consumers, especially in the area of flooring. BASF offers a broad portfolio of natural
oil-based polyols for water-based and high solid 2K PU indoor concrete coatings.
When assessed with our Sustainable Solution Steering method, this Sovermol® range
has been classified as Sustainability Accelerator, which contributes substantially to
sustainable development along the value chain.
Next performance level with renewables
Sovermol® 830 feedstock comprises more than 90%

renewable raw materials. It impresses with benefits
such as low viscosity, excellent hydrophobicity, cold
flexible performance, as well as improved cost perfor-
mance. Its profile of mechanical properties also en-
ables this new polyol to lift formulations to the next
performance level.

Window frames and wall claddings suffer from weathering, floors from abrasion, and
high-gloss kitchen cabinets from scratches and cleaning agents. Since recoating and
repair is time and material consuming or even impossible, BASF has developed a range
of solvent- and water-based crosslinkers to raise coatings’ resistance to a higher level.
Among these offerings are some solvent-based crosslinkers such as selected Luwipal®,
Plastopal®, and Basonat® grades, which meet the basic sustainability standards in
the market. Our solutions for water-based systems, however, have been classified as
Sustainability Accelerators and contribute substantially to sustainable development
along the value chain already today.

2K PU system
The 2K PU system comprising the Joncryl® OH 8312
dispersion crosslinked with Basonat® HW 1180 PC
for glossy clear and pigmented furniture topcoats is
known to be very efficient. Even when crosslinked at
an NCO:OH ratio of 0.75, high chemical and scratch
resistance can be achieved enabling a significant
reduction in system costs.

Coatings curable by UV radiation, electron beam, or excimer are a growing field in the
area of furniture and flooring. The advantages are obvious: instant curing, low energy
consumption, direct further processing, high scratch and chemical resistance, as well as
low volatile organic compound (VOC) content. BASF offers radiation-curable resins from
the Laromer® series as well as photoinitiators from the Irgacure® series for a broad range
of applications. Our Laromer® range has been classified as Sustainability Accelerators
with substantial contribution to sustainable development along the value chain.

Coatings are exposed to a variety of detrimental phenomena such as solar radiation,
humidity, temperature change, microbiological attack, air pollutants, and many more.
With its comprehensive portfolio of stabilizers and other performance additives for UV
protection, BASF contributes to long-lasting coated products. One of our tailor-made
solutions to ensure long service life for coatings is the Tinuvin® range. When assessed
with our Sustainable Solution Steering method, it has been classified as Sustainability
Accelerator, which contributes significantly to sustainable development along the value
chain.
Prolonging coatings’ life spans
Tinuvin® 5333 DW, our innovative light stabilizer, has
been designed to meet high performance and durabili-
ty requirements of exterior water-based coatings, in-
cluding energy-curable systems for low to zero VOC
requirements and / or where a traditional Benzotriazole
