BASF builds world-scale specialty amines plant

BASF is building a new world-scale production plant to manufacture specialty amines at its existing wholly-owned site in the Nanjing Chemical Industry Park in China. The plant, which is scheduled to come on stream in late 2015, will have dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA) and polyetheramines (PEA) as the main products. With this new facility BASF will further strengthen its global production network. The new plant complements existing facilities in Germany and the U.S. for DMAPA and PEA. BASF is a leading supplier of DMAPA and PEA globally, and this investment reflects its continued commitment to meeting the growing market demand in Asia Pacific.
