巴斯夫宣布称美国TDI工厂遭遇不可抗力

据ICIS网站7月24日消息 巴斯夫公司发言人周五证实，巴斯夫已宣布其位于路易斯安那州盖斯马尔的甲苯二异氰酸酯（TDI）工厂遭遇不可抗力。

根据ICIS供需数据库，该工厂的产能为16万吨/年。

由于疫情爆发的经济影响导致TDI和下游聚氨酯系统的消费减少，美国TDI供应已足以满足近几个月的需求。

随着汽车厂恢复生产，同时对家具和床上用品的需求开始接近危机前的水平，需求已开始从4月和5月的低点回升。

TDI主要用于生产聚氨酯（PU）软泡，用于室内装潢、床垫和汽车座椅。

美国主要TDI生产商包括巴斯夫和科思创。

BASF declares force majeure from US TDI plant

BASF has declared force majeure from its toluene diisocyanate (TDI) plant in Geismar, Louisiana, a company spokesperson confirmed on Friday.

The plant has a capacity of 160,000 tonnes/year, according to the ICIS Supply and Demand Database.

TDI supplies in the US have been sufficient to meet demand in recent months as the economic impacts of the coronavirus outbreak resulted in reduced consumption for TDI and downstream polyurethane systems.

Demand has started to pick up from the low points seen in April and May as automotive plants are resuming production while demand for furniture and bedding is starting to approach pre-crisis levels.

TDI is mainly used for the production of polyurethane (PU) flexible foams used in upholstery, mattresses and automotive seats.

Major US TDI producers include BASF and Covestro.
