(BASF) -- BASF will build the world’s
largest single-train TDI (toluene diisocyanate) plant in Europe. The plant will
have a capacity of 300 KTa and will be fully integrated with precursor
production. The TDI plant will be located at one of the company’s integrated
Verbund sites in Antwerp, Belgium or Ludwigshafen, Germany and will start
production in 2014. Engineering is underway and the final site selection will be
announced shortly. TDI is a key component used for polyurethane foams.
TDI is a key component for the polyurethanes industry. To a large extent
it is used in the automotive industry (e.g. seating cushion and interior
applications) as well as in the furniture segment (e.g. flexible foams for
mattresses, cushions or wood coating).
BASF is a leading supplier of basic products for polyurethanes and
operates TDI plants in Geismar, Louisiana; Schwarzheide, Germany; Yeosu, Korea;
and Caojing, China.
