BASF expands manufacturing capacity for some chemicals
14/05/2008
BASF will double its manufacturing capacity for certain alkylethonalamines (AEOA) by mid-2009. This expansion is the company’s response to increases in customer demand for these products.
The chemical producer manufactures its range of AEOA specialties at its site in Ludwigshafen, Germany.
“As one of the globally leading amine manufacturers, we are expanding our production capacity in response to our customers’ growing demand for specific AEOAs,” said Dr Stefan Blank, head of the regional amines business unit. He added: “We are pleased to see that this increase in demand is driven mainly by innovations that we have developed in cooperation with our customers.”
Amines are part of process chemical formulations applied, for instance, in leather manufacturing.
