Full report

BASF completed its coatings transaction with Carlyle on June 30, 2026. RODIM, whose Asia-Pacific catalog includes paint protection film, is using Surventis branding on its website.

In its July 1 closing announcement, BASF said it retained a 40% equity interest in Surventis, formerly BASF Coatings. The business comprises automotive original-equipment coatings, automotive refinish coatings and surface treatment. The announcement concerns that broader business, not a separately disclosed purchase of RODIM or an individual PPF factory.

RODIM's international homepage links to Surventis's launch announcement. Its Asia-Pacific paint-protection-film page carries the RODIM by Surventis identity. Those current pages connect the film range to the new corporate name; they do not date a new PPF launch.

For installers, the verified development is the supplier's corporate identity. The sources reviewed do not establish changes to film manufacturing locations, local distributors, order terms or PPF warranty coverage. Those details remain product- and market-specific questions, rather than consequences that can be assumed from the transaction.
