“This investment and construction is particularly important to promote the development of the release agent business in Europe, and it will also help the company move towards a leading position in the industry.” Philipp Kley, BASF’s senior vice president of chemical building materials in Europe, said: “We realized early on that There is a growing market demand for alternatives to mineral oil-based release agents and relevant research has been conducted. This is why we are now able to introduce innovations at the right time to fill a gap in the market. New products can bring competition to customers Advantages.” Mold release agents quickly remove formwork aggregates and simultaneously secure the surfaces of precast concrete elements and cast-in-place concrete.
In addition, the team of research experts also developed a new release agent formula using natural raw materials, such as vegetable oil. The product is currently available for purchase under the brand name Master Finish.
