BASF inaugurates new plant for alkyl ethanolamines at its Antwerp Verbund site.

巴斯夫在比利时安特卫普一体化生产基地启用了一座新的世界级烷基乙醇胺生产工厂。这项新投资将使该公司全球烷基乙醇胺[包括二甲基乙醇胺（DMEOA）和甲基二乙醇胺（MDEOA）]的年产能提高近30%，达到每年14万吨以上。新工厂是巴斯夫该产品组合生产网络的重要组成部分，该产品目前在德国路德维希港、比利时安特卫普、路易斯安那州盖斯马和中国南京生产。

BASF has inaugurated a new world-class alkyl ethanolamine production plant at its integrated production site in Antwerp, Belgium. This new investment will increase the company's global annual production capacity for alkyl ethanolamines [including dimethylethanolamine (DMEOA) and methylenediethanolamine (MDEOA)] by nearly 30 percent to more than 140,000 tons per year. The new plant is an important part of BASF's production network for this product portfolio, which is currently manufactured in Ludwigshafen, Germany; Antwerp, Belgium; Geismar, Louisiana; and Nanjing, China.

巴斯夫全球化学品中间体业务部总裁Ketan Joshi表示：“这项投资表明了我们成为可持续中间体首选合作伙伴的愿景，以及我们继续作为烷基乙醇胺主要供应商的坚定承诺。通过这项新投资，我们正在扩大我们的全球生产网络。基于我们的一体化和有竞争力的技术，我们希望使我们的客户能够实现可持续发展。”

"This investment demonstrates our vision to be the partner of choice for sustainable intermediates and our strong commitment to remain a major supplier of alkyl ethanolamines. With this new investment, we are expanding our global manufacturing network. Based on our integrated and competitive technologies, we want to enable our customers to achieve sustainable development.” said Ketan Joshi, President of BASF's Global Chemicals Intermediates Business Unit.

烷基乙醇胺主要用作气体处理化学品的原料、水处理中使用的絮凝剂，以及涂料行业中颜料和树脂之间的粘合剂。其他应用包括织物柔软剂、金属加工液添加剂和聚氨酯。

Alkyl ethanolamines are primarily used as feedstocks for gas treatment chemicals, as flocculants used in water treatment, and as binders between pigments and resins in the coatings industry. Other applications include fabric softeners, metalworking fluid additives and polyurethanes.

巴斯夫拥有约300种不同的胺，具备世界上最多样化的此类化学中间体产品组合。除了烷基胺、烷醇胺和烷氧基烷基胺外，该公司还提供杂环胺、芳香胺以及特种胺。巴斯夫的产品组合还包括不断扩大的手性胺系列，以其高光学和化学纯度而闻名。这些产品主要用于制造化学品、药品和作物保护产品，以及化妆品和洗涤剂。它们还用于生产涂料、特种塑料、复合材料和特种纤维。

With around 300 different amines, BASF has the world's most diverse portfolio of such chemical intermediates. In addition to alkylamines, alkanolamines and alkoxyalkylamines, the company offers heterocyclic amines, aromatic amines and specialty amines. BASF's portfolio also includes an expanding range of chiral amines, known for their high optical and chemical purity. These products are used primarily in the manufacture of chemicals, pharmaceuticals and crop protection products, as well as cosmetics and detergents. They are also used in the production of coatings, specialty plastics, composites and specialty fibers.
