DETAILS
BASF has begun trial operations at the mononitrobenzene plant
within the integrated 400,000 metric ton
methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) complex
in Chongqing, China.
Mononitrobenzene is a precursor for the production of MDI.
This MDI site covers an area of more than 50 hectares,
including facilities of
400,000 metric tons per year of Mononitrobenzene,
300,000 metric tons per year of aniline,
400,000 metric tons per year of crude MDI, and
an MDI splitter with a capacity of 400,000 metric tons per year.
MDI is an important component for polyurethanes –
an extremely versatile plastics material that
contributes towards improved insulation for appliances
and reefer containers, provides lighter and more modern materials
for cars, and helps save energy in buildings.
