BASF is increasing capacity for the production of medium molecular weight polyisobutene, which is marketed by BASF under the trade name Oppanol®. BASF will gradually increase the capacity of its
Oppanol® plant in Ludwigshafen (Germany) by 20%. Work began on extending production 18 months ago, and it is expected to be completed by the end of 2004. Further investment in Oppanol® is planned, and new, more efficient technologies for manufacturing this range of products are being developed. BASF manufactures a wide range of polyisobutenes in four plants at its Antwerp (Belgium) and Ludwigshafen (Germany) sites. These plants produce a total of 100,000 tons per year of polyisobutene, and production is running at full capacity. All four plants are completely integrated in the production network at the two largest BASF production sites.
