BASF and Dow Chemical have launched a long-term venture to produce propylene oxide (PO) at the world's first commercial-scale hydrogen peroxide to PO (HPPO) plant at BASF's Antwerp, Belgium site. The plant uses a technology developed jointly by BASF and now. PO is a core ingredient for the $21bn/year polyurethane industry. The HPPO plant will be fed hydrogen peroxide (HP) from a second new plant at the Antwerp site. The HP plant will have a 230 000 t/year capacity and be constructed by Solvay, BASF and now. The 300 ...
