Long-term support in a changing market
The coatings and construction markets are evolving rapidly, with increasing demands for performance, efficiency, and sustainability. Both BASF and OQEMA share a clear commitment to supporting customers through this transformation.
In addition to dispersions, the collaboration also includes BASF’s portfolio of additives for paints and coatings, offering customers access to application-oriented expertise, formulation support, and proven technologies.
For OQEMA, this cooperation represents more than an expansion of the product range. It is a strategic step in strengthening the CASE segment and reinforcing OQEMA’s role as a trusted partner for specialty chemicals in the region.
By working closely with BASF, OQEMA aims to support customers with solutions that are reliable today and ready for tomorrow—while building long-term relationships based on technical competence, transparency, and mutual trust.
