BASF's new isopropanolamine plant started up
The new plant uses an improved process: A product mixture comprising mono-, di- and triisopropanolamine (MIPOA, DIPOA, TIPOA) is produced from propylene oxide and ammonia. The new process ensures better control over the composition of this mixture, enabling BASF to respond more flexibly to its customers' needs.
Isopropanolamines are high-grade intermediates that are suitable for many different applications. They are used effectively in gas scrubbing and in the production of cement additives, colorants and pigments, surfactants, pharmaceuticals and crop protection agents, in corrosion inhibitors and lubricants. Customers appreciate in particular the high level of delivery reliability and the consistently high product quality BASF achieves thanks to its complete backward integration.
