Petrochemicals BASF 

In Petrochemistry, separation is the first step in creating new bonds. It results in basic chemicals which are used to make many other products in the chemical industry. From the heart of the BASF Verbund, we feed the value-adding chain for a number of intermediates and end products. When separation produces new bonds, it’s because at BASF, we create chemistry.
