Solenis is to acquire BASF’s flocculants business for mining applications in a deal that should close within 2H 2024. Financial details are not being disclosed. Solenis had previously acquired BASF’s paper wet-end and water chemicals business in 2019.

Jacques Herber, Solenis’s CBO in EMEA and Asia said that brining the BASF sales team on board “will allow us to develop closer relationships with our customers by providing more solutions and added value to their operations and will eliminate supply agreements between BASF and Solenis.”
