Ashland has declared a force majeure in Europe on 1.4 butanediol, tetrahydrofuran and formaldehyde after a fire shut down production at its manufacturing facility in Marl, Germany.
Operations were shut down on August 10.
Production has been suspended while an investigation into the cause and extent of the fire takes place.
As a result, the Marl facility is currently unable to produce any 1.4 BDO, THF or formaldehyde, and the availability of product is significantly reduced.
Ashland is working with affected customers to minimise the impact to their respective businesses, and will continue to provide updates regarding supply capability.
