BASF expands plasticisers business in Asia Pacific

摘要

BASF has outlined several key initiatives for its Asia Pacific plasticisers business. To meet growing demand for solvents and plasticisers the company plans to expand the annual production capacity of its oxo-C4 plant in Nanjing, China, by 55,000 tonnes to 305,000 tonnes by the fourth quarter of 2008. This move will ensure reliable supplies of the precursor alcohols n-butanol and 2-ethylhexanol.
