• In March 2025, ICL launched three new innovative and sustainable products at the European Coatings Show 2025. HALOX 580: 50% bio-based, ultra-low VOC (0.5%), and a sustainable liquid corrosion inhibitor (LCI) for protection of waterborne and solvent-borne coatings. HALOX FLASH-X 152: Zero VOC flash rust inhibitor for architectural & industrial waterborne paints. It has dual functionality to stop 'general' flash rust and, at the same time, prevents 'galvanic' weld bead corrosion. HALOX XTAIN L-47: Ecolabel-compliant liquid tannin stain blocker for industrial & architectural paints.

• In May 2024, BASF planned to expand the global production capacity of its Basoflux range of paraffin inhibitors at its site in Tarragona, Spain. This investment will enable BASF’s Oilfield Chemicals business to meet the current and future demand of novel paraffin inhibitors for the Oil & Gas industry. This plant expansion will also enable BASF to act swiftly to respond to on-demand changes in the market. First customer deliveries are expected for the beginning of 2025.
