Key Takeaways
{\"0\":\"BASF unveiled its next-gen Keropur additive to exceed revised U.S. TOP TIER gasoline standards.\",\"1\":\"Keropur AP 225-20 passed rigorous tests for injector deposit control and pre-ignition protection.\",\"2\":\"Final specs arrive in late 2025, with deliveries slated for early 2026 and infrastructure upgrades.\"}
BASF SE (BASFY - Free Report) recently announced the upcoming launch of its next-generation Keropur Gasoline Performance Additive Series, geared to meet and exceed the newly revised U.S. TOP TIER+ detergent gasoline standard and perform better than the EPA’s Lowest Additive Concentration (LAC) requirements.
The new formulation, Keropur AP 225-20, is expected to be approved by the California Air Resources Board and is expected to be made commercially available well ahead of the mandatory January 2027 deadline, ensuring customers receive sufficient time to swiftly transition.
Leading OEMs have introduced the TOP TIER+ standard to address the evolving needs of modern engine technologies. The standard includes rigorous testing protocols, especially for Gasoline Direct Injection engines.
BASF’s Keropur AP 225-20 successfully passed all the tests and is undergoing final optimization. The protocols evaluate the formulation’s injector deposit control and protection against stochastic pre-ignition, as these are critical for maintaining optimal engine performance and reducing emissions. Formulated with EPA-registered components, the additive is designed to improve fuel economy, protect engines and promote cleaner combustion across all injection systems.
The product will help its customers stay ahead of the regulations. To ensure a smooth transition for them, BASF plans to roll out the final product specifications in the final quarter of 2025 to support terminal transition plans and begin deliveries in the first half of 2026. The company is also investing in infrastructure upgrades to accommodate the manufacturing of new additive series.
BASFY’s shares have gained 2.3% over the past year compared with the industry’s 20% decline.
