BASF increases capacity for low molecular weight polyisobutene in Antwerp

02-Oct-2007

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®).
