BASF increases capacity for low molecular weight polyisobutene in Antwerp
BASF will expand its plant for low molecular weight, highly reactive polyisobutene (HR PIB), which is marketed globally under the Glissopal® trademark, at its Verbund site in Antwerp, Belgium. BASF will thereby increase its capacity for Glissopal® in Antwerp by 25 000 tonnes to a total of 100 000 tonnes per year. The start up of the expanded capacity is planned for March 2008.
BASF currently produces polyisobutene in four plants located in Lud-wigshafen and Antwerp. BASF manufactures low molecular weight polyisobutene (Glissopal®) as well as medium and high molecular weight polyisobutene (Oppanol®).
