BASF launches the Acronal® MB portfolio of acrylic binders for architectural coatings in North America. These binders offer the same quality and performance as the existing Acronal® products, with the added benefit of a reduced CO2 footprint for a more sustainable can of paint.
PCF Reduction in Paint Cans
BASF’s biomass balance approach, certified by REDcert
2, allows the use of sustainably sourced bio-feedstocks to replace the fossil-based raw materials required in the manufacturing of Acronal® products.
Since the
renewable raw materials are substituted early in the value chain, the resulting
Acronal® MB binder is chemically equivalent to its fossil based Acronal® product and no reformulation is required.
In the
architectural coatings industry, the majority of greenhouse gas emissions come from indirect sources in the value chain, including purchased raw materials. By incorporating Acronal® MB acrylic binders into architectural formulations, BASF enables its customers to significantly reduce the product carbon footprint in their can of paint.
“
As we launch our new biomass balance Acronal® portfolio, we’re not just looking to provide a solution, we’re looking to pioneer a sustainable future for the architectural coatings industry,” said Justin Davis, BASF business director, Architecture, Infrastructure and Adhesives.
“
Our commitment to innovation and sustainability is at the core of the Acronal® MB product line, and together, with our customers, we are refining what’s possible in the world of sustainable architectural coatings,” added Davis.
