BASF and Nippon Paint develop sustainable industrial packaging

September 5, 2022 EcoVadis EN


Germany-based chemical company BASF has partnered with Japanese coating manufacturer Nippon Paint to introduce sustainable industrial packaging in China.

The packaging has been adopted for Nippon Paint’s dry-mixed mortar series products.

It uses BASF’s water-based acrylic dispersion, Joncryl High-Performance Barrier (HPB), as the barrier material, which is being used for the first time in industrial packaging in China.

In addition to offering ‘excellent’ vapour and water resistance properties, Joncryl HPB eliminates plastics and improves the recyclability of paper-based packaging in the industrial segment.

The use of Joncryl HPB material will enable Nippon Paint to save thousands of tonnes of plastics while reusing around 10,000tpa of paper bags.
