attractive partner for challenges that can be solved with chemistry. We combine economic success with
environmental protection and social responsibility, putting our customers at the center of everything we do.
We are committed to meeting the global challenges and growth of the automotive refinish industry by
leading in sustainable product, color and process innovations. Our newest addition to the Glasurit portfolio,
100 Line, is an innovative and sustainable paint system in the industry that meets the highest requirements
of modern body shops with its advanced, comprehensive system that optimizes processes at all levels.
Glasurit 100 Line has a VOC value of 250 g/l — a 40% reduction from many waterborne basecoats, and far
lower than any global VOC requirements.
Since 1888, Glasurit has stood for perfection and world-class luxury, along with social and ecological
responsibility. The innovative 100 Line helps customers become more competitive and increase net profits,
improve their environmental footprint and drive overall performance.
100 Line continues to impress customers with its incredible quality and efficiency, all while setting a new
sustainability standard with the lowest VOC values on the market. Its excellent color stability, robustness in
application and environmental attributes make it the ideal sustainable solution for completing jobs faster
with less material consumption. With BASF’s 100 Line , customers can expect savings of up to 35% in
overall process times through faster application and shorter flash-off cycles. Another 20% savings can be
made as material consumption is reduced.
