Clearcoats

The clearcoat forms the "roof” over the paint system. The final coat, which seals everything else in, is pigment-free. It has to withstand particular challenges such as resistance to sunlight and weather, but also to industrially generated chemicals and natural, biological influences (bird droppings etc.). Furthermore, the main focus in the clearcoat segment is on a very high scratch resistance even after aging.

BASF Coatings’ clearcoat portfolio can be divided into 1-component and 2-component clearcoats and also "no-solvent” clearcoats (SlurryGloss).
