30/08/2024
Chemicals group BASF has announced that it will cease production of adipic acid and cyclododecanone at its Ludwigshafen plant in Germany.
It said approximately 180 members of staff will be affected by the decision.
Both products are building blocks in the manufacture of synthetic fibres. Adipic acid is used to make polyamides and polyurethane. Cyclododecanone is used to produce lauryl lactam for use in the manufacture of polyamide 12.
BASF made it clear that it will continue to make both products at other sites.
