BASF is building its first plant outside Germany for the high-temperature polymer PESU (Ultrason). Production of the 6,000 tpa unit to be located in S Korea, will begin in early 2014. Currently, BASF produces the polymer only at its main site in Ludwigshafen. Since Ultrason is used mainly in electronics, automotive and aeronautics, carbon fibre composites, the new facility is part of the group’s plan to move closer to its downstream customers and lift its profile in the fast-growing Asia-Pacific region.
