Publish date: 2024-09-12
BASF has inaugurated a new world-scale production plant for alkyl ethanolamines at its Verbund site in Antwerp, Belgium. This new investment will increase the company’s global annual production capacity for alkyl ethanolamines, including dimethyl ethanolamine (DMEOA) and methyl diethanolamine (MDEOA), by nearly 30 percent to over 140,000 tons per year. The new plant is an important part of the BASF production network for this portfolio at the company’s sites in Ludwigshafen, Germany; Antwerp, Belgium; Geismar, Louisiana; and Nanjing, China.
The versatile products are used mainly to manufacture process chemicals, pharmaceuticals and crop protection products, as well as cosmetic products and detergents. They also serve to produce coatings, special plastics, composites and special fibres.
Meanwhile, compatriot German firm Covestro says it will start the construction of a new Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPU) APAC application development (AD) Center in Guangzhou in South China
