BTC offers resins for the manufacture of architectural finishes and emulsion paints.

The Laropal® A grades are colourless aldehyde and ketone resins with broad compatibility and solubility in organic solvents. They are suitable for manufacturing pigment pastes and are used as cobinders in various coating systems for modifying application properties such as hardness, body, gloss and rheology. Laropal® LR 8991 and LR 9008 are suitable for making water-based pigment pastes for industrial and architectural coatings and emulsion paints.

Luhydran® is a self- and co-crosslinking dispersions used mainly for industrial applications such as furniture, parquet, and decorative-film finishes, and two-component PUR water-based paints.

The BASF Plastopal® range are amino resins which include both rigid and plasticized urea-formaldehyde resins. They are applied in baking finishes, acid-curing paints and physically drying paints. Depending on the resin composition, either solvent-based or water-based systems can be formulated. They are mainly used to produce coatings that, with the added effect of the cobinder, are more adhesive, flexible, stable to overbaking and cost-efficient than melamine-formaldehyde resins.
