BRILLIANCE™

With BASF’s Brilliance™ we’ve developed a collection of

innovative acrylics and additives specifically designed to

help our customers be more successful in the roof coating

industry Formulated to comply with rigorous performance

and regulatory standards across a wide range of substrates,

these dispersions and additives can help decrease labor time,

simplify installation and broaden the application window.
