BASF expands MDI capacity at Geismar with $780 million project

BASF is expanding its methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) capacity at its Geismar, Louisiana Verbund site with a $780 million MDI 3 project, the final phase of a decades-long expansion, expected to be completed mid-decade.

“The MDI expansion is the biggest venture in the past 20 years, not only because this material is in high demand and a key component in many daily products such as foams for insulation and refrigeration in homes, but also is used to build lighter, more fuel-efficient cars.”bicmagazine.com
