BASF has encountered technical problems at its acrylic acid (AA) facility in Antwerp, sources in the European acrylates market said on Sunday.
Speaking on the sidelines of the 51st European Petrochemical Association (EPCA) meeting, sources said that the technical problems at the acrylic acid plant arose during a planned turnaround.
It was not yet clear how long the plant would take to recover.
BASF has the capacity to produce 320,000 tonnes/year of acrylic acid at the Antwerp facility.
