BASF production

Developments in monldable particle PP foams are described, nsing the BASF product range as a basis. The monlding process is detailed, physical properties of monldings prodnced from Neopolen P at densities of 20 to 60 kg/cn.m. are detailed and major end-use applications are indicated. The monlding sequence is also illustrated. 

Between 1890 and 1904, there was a significant improvement in sales of BASF products to Asia, which until then had accounted for only four percent of turnover. The surge was mainly due to the fact that large quantities of synthetic indigo were being purchased as a substitute for the inferior natural product. Performance in China mirrored that of Japan, and each country accounted for around seven percent of BASF s total worldwide turnover by 1904 (Abelshauser, W. et al.).

BASF production capacity for Ecoflex is currently around 14,000 tonnes per annum. The firm added about 6,000 tonnes of annual production of the material in early 2006 at Schwarzheide, Germany to meet growing demand for the polymer. 

The naphtha produced by the feedstock process is treated in a steam cracker, and the monomers (e.g. ethylene, propylene, butadiene) are recovered. These raw materials are then used for the production of virgin plastic materials. High-boiUng oils can be processed into synthesis gas or conversion coke and then be transferred for further use. All these products have outlets in the local BASF production plants. 

But even this is only a part of the whole story. In Ref 17 the BASF production site. Seal Sands, is discussed. All parts of the site are integrated in order to produce (HMDi) hexamethylenediamine. The ADN (adipodinitrile) process is only one part of the site (Fig. 1). 

By the end of World War I, about 18000 tons of phosgene had been manufactured by the Germans for use as a war gas (10682 tons being produced between 1915 and 1918 by BASF, corresponding to 621 tons per month) [859a], more-or-less equivalent to the combined total output of the Allies. The large BASF production was attributable to ready access to... 

As they are rather polar materials they often do not mix with solvents or nonpolar product molecules. Using the BASF product 1-methylimidazole as an acid scavenger, an ionic liquid is formed 1-methylimidazolium chloride (HMIMCl), which has a... 

The material (1-methylimidazole) was available in large quantities within the company, since it was an existing BASF product.

Some of these developments can be reahzed by industrial companies alone, as demonstrated by recent BASF product launches in the field of polymers for pharmaceutical applications, or in the field of electronic polymers. However, the point must be made clear that the discovery of new polymers and new polymerization techniques is an area where nonprofit research organizations - not only universities but also institutes such as those operated by the Max-Planck or the Fraunhofer Society - can successfully follow up on new technologies and identify new trends in polymer science, without considering economical boundary conditions. In this way, such institutions can continue to investigate areas that do not necessarily pay out on an industrial ten-year business plan - and this is an extremely important role ...
