    BASF Commissions New Plant for Oxidized Polyethylene Waxes at Ludwigshafen Site

    Integrated plant forms part of a sustainable production concept within the Verbund site that conserves resources

    A new plant for the manufacture of oxidized polyethylene waxes went into operation at the BASF site in Ludwigshafen, Germany. The plant manufactures high quality oxidized waxes according to BASF’s own process. The new plant will improve the availability on oxidized polyethylene waxes now and in the future, for instance in plastics processing.

    The new plant fits perfectly into the integrated supply network for raw materials and energy at BASF’s Ludwigshafen site. The low-density polyethylene wax that forms the basis of the oxidized waxes comes directly from the site’s own polymerization plants.

    “As well as extending the capacity, we have also invested in modernizing the existing plant for polyethylene waxes,” said Dr. Stefan Beckmann, senior vice president Home Care & Formulation Technologies Europe. “Demand for high-quality waxes and oxidized waxes is growing world-wide due to the increased production and processing of plastics. We will be able to satisfy this increasing demand when the new oxidation plant for waxes in Ludwigshafen goes into operation.”

    BASF supplies its waxes worldwide to markets with specialized demands. Waxes in the form of powder, fine powder, granules and pastilles are marketed under the Luwax brand, and liquid emulsions are available under the Poligen trademark.
