BASF's complex in Geismar, Louisiana
BASF has started up a methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) plant at its complex in Geismar, Louisiana. The unit replaces an older facility for a marginal increase in capacity. The company says it will start up new facilities later this year that make precursors for MDI.
