Steel Production

Based on our core competences in modification of surfaces and interfaces, as well as our polymer chemistry, we offer tailored solutions for the steel industry. BASF, as the leading chemical company, has considerable chemical knowledge and testing capabilities relating to steel processing as well as steel surfaces. We are experienced in developing unique innovation in cooperation with our customers.

One example is our chrome and fluoride free passivation for hot dip galvanized steel coil. This formulation offers superior corrosion resistance and a very low "ribbing-effect."

We offer also tailor formulated corrosion inhibitors which are highly efficient and creep capable.
