BASF PolyTHF Plant Comes on Stream

摘要

After less than two years of construction,BASF has started up its new "PolyTHF" (polytetrahydrofu-ran) plant at the integrated production site at the Shanghai Chemical Industrial Park (SCIP) in Caojing,Shanghai.By the middle of 2005,BASF will also gradually start up its neighboring THF (tetrahydrofuran) plant.With an annual capacity of 60,000 tons of "PolyTHF" and 80,000 tons of THF,this is the largest "PolyTHF" production facility in the world.This is also the first investment project in China that has been wholly owned by BASF right from its inception.
