BASF PETRONAS Chemicals utilizes new 1,4-butanediol plant below capacity
Customers will not be affected by this temporary below-capacity utilization. As the global market leader in butanediol, BASF provides a reliable supply via its worldwide network of BDO plants in Europe, NAFTA and Asia.
"Utilization below capacity at this time will allow us to improve efficiencies in our operations," said Dr. Walter Gramlich, President of BASF's Operating Division Intermediates. "At the same time, we can react flexibly as soon as market conditions improve. This is very important to us since we have a commitment to the butanediol markets."
