BASF to build new speciality amines plant at Nanjing complex




BASF SE said that it will build a new speciality amines plant at its present site in Nanjing Chemical Industry Park in China.
The new multi-product plant can manufacture 21,000 metric tonnes per year and further extends BASF’s amines portfolio at the speciality amines complex in Nanjing. The plant is scheduled to come on stream in 2019 and will mainly produce 1,2-Propylenediamine (1,2-PDA), n-Octylamine (n-OA) and Polyetheramine (PEA).
The main products of the new plant include:
1,2-Propylendiamine (1,2-PDA) – an essential ingredient to produce elastic fibres. It is also used as a building block in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, crop protection agents, colourants, textile auxiliaries, pigments and optical brighteners. Additionally, it is used as a corrosion inhibitor in surface treatment products.
N-Octylamine (n-OA) is used as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of antimicrobial and biocidal agents.
