BASF evaluates natural gas-based investment in the United States
BASF intends to further strengthen its backward integration into propylene and grow its propylene-based downstream activities, leading to a stronger market position in North America. Propylene is one of the most important basic chemicals in the petrochemical industry and is used in the production of a wide range of higher-value chemicals. These chemicals are used to manufacture products such as coatings, detergents or superabsorbent polymers for baby diapers.
Details on the potential investment, including the capacity of the plant, investment amount and exact location are currently under evaluation.
