BASF declares force majeure due to technical defect

By PRW Staff
Posted 23 July 2010 9:58 am GMT
Due to a shortage of raw materials caused by an unforeseeable technical defect in its iso-Nonanol (INA) plant in Ludwigshafen, Germany, BASF is currently unable to produce the plasticisers Plastomoll DNA, Palatinol N, Hexamoll DINCH and selected Palamoll grades (652, 654, 656 and 858).

The chemicals giant has therefore been forced to declare force majeure on these ranges.

The INA plant is currently shut down to do the necessary repair work. BASF is expecting to restart production of INA in Ludwigshafen within the next 14 days.
