BASF plans to invest up to €56M in the expansion of its Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) value chain over the next four years. PVP is a polymer, which is used in diverse industries, such as pharmaceutical or the personal and home care sector, as well as an adhesive in glue sticks and hot-melt adhesives mainly due to its binding properties.
Through revamping existing plants in Ludwigshafen, Germany and Geismar, Louisiana, USA and introducing the PVP technology at BASF’s site in Shanghai, China, the company will increase its global PVP production capacities by up to 6000t/yr.
BASF invented this production process 75 years ago.
