BASF and Finco promote sustainable construction solutions

BASF, the world's leading chemical company, and Finco, a market leader in the supply of chemicals to the local construction industry, are cooperating to promote sustainability in the local construction industry, the local firm said in a press release. BASF is providing innovations that help reduce energy consumption of buildings and are effective in both roof and wall insulation.

Mark Volmer, Senior Vice President for Asia Pacific of BASF Construction Chemicals makes his presentation.

These include a total insulation concept for the building envelope, Basotect, a thermoset resin foam used for sound absorption, and pervious concrete, which enables storm water harvesting and ground water recharge.

Finco will work with the local construction industry to introduce these innovations to builders, architects, developers, and other industry participants.

BASF and Finco held a customer seminar this month in Colombo to showcase an array of innovative and sustainable construction solutions.

Attended by more than 40 representatives from the construction industry, including senior structural engineers, architects and academics, the seminar highlighted the need to create green buildings with higher ratings. At the forum, Mark Volmer, Senior Vice President for Asia Pacific, BASF Construction Chemicals along with Rohan Delgoda, Managing Director, Finco, made presentations.
