BASF Starts Production of Chemicals for Water Treatment and Paper Manufacturing

摘要

BASF has begun production of chemicals for water treatment and paper manufacturing at the Nanjing Chemical Industry Park in Nanjing, China. These wholly-owned, world-scale production plants for quaternised cationic monomers (DMA_3Q) and cationic polyacrylamide (cPAM) further strengthen BASF's leading position in supporting the water treatment and paper industries in Asia. The facility has an annual capacity of 40,000 tonnes of DMA_3Q and 20,000 tonnes of cPAM, and is strongly backward integrated. Key precursors are supplied by the adjoining facilities at BASF-YPC Co., a 50-50 joint venture between BASF and SINOPEC which is one of six BASF Verbund sites worldwide.
