BASF plans to increase the existing production capacities for polyols at its Verbund site in Geismar, Louisiana, at a total investment of about US$125 million. The plans encompass construction of two new reactors and revamping of two existing reactors used to manufacture polyols. A new logistics center will also be built for polyurethane basic products and other chemicals.
In addition, BASF plans to transfer a major part of the polyol production from its site in Wyandotte, Michigan, to Geismar, increasing annual capacity of polyols in the U.S. from the current 250,000 tons (including external tolling arrangements and purchases) to 350,000 metric tons in 2008.
