BASF on March 30, 2016 inaugurated a manufacturing facility for Ucrete in Bukit Raja, Klang (Malaysia), that will allow the company to better meet the increasing demand for high quality, durable industrial flooring solutions in the Asia Pacific region.
“The new facilities improve our flexibility to better and quicker serve our customers by ensuring a stable supply. We can reduce lead times by up to 35 percent near the place where the product is used,” said Arnold De Silva, head of construction chemicals responsible for Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos in BASF.
The Ucrete production facilities are the first that can produce all four components of the Ucrete polyurethane concrete flooring system in Asia Pacific. BASF has a similar plant in the UK. Located within the company’s construction chemicals manufacturing plant in Bukit Raja Industrial Park in Selangor, Malaysia, the new facility benefits from global experience and proven technologies, operational efficiency and technical competencies.
Ucrete is a unique polyurethane resin technology that gives floors exceptional resistance to aggressive chemicals, as well as extreme mechanical and thermal conditions. It is ideal for the most demanding industrial environments, non-tainting and fully serviceable at temperatures up to 120°C at only 9 mm thickness.
