BASF has started a stepwise capacity increase of its production plant for alkoxylation – a downstream technology of ethylene oxide production – in Antwerp, Belgium. The first additional capacities will be available from as early as the 3rd quarter of 2018.
"With the planned significant capacity expansion, we are responding to rising demand for top-quality alkoxylates in the European market and are supporting the growth of our customers. We are also expanding our market position as a leading supplier of alkoxylates in Europe," said Soeren Hildebrandt, senior vice president, Home Care, I&I and Industrial Solutions Europe at BASF. "Overall, we plan to step up our alkoxylation capacities at the Antwerp site by up to 25 percent by 2021."
