Alkylene Oxides and Glycols from BASF - Product Portfolio

BASF is one of the few major companies worldwide that is completely integrated in the ethylene and propylene oxide value chain. BASF produces both ethylene and propylene – the starting material for EO an PO – as well as all of the important direct derivates. 

 Alkylene Oxides

Alkylene oxides, especially the two main products ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, are highly reactive compounds that are produced by the oxidization of olefins from the steam cracker. 

 Glycols

Glycols are often used in coolants and antifreeze agents as well as in de-icing products as there melting point is below the one of water.
