For a smooth transition, the company is currently reaching out in support from all its existing customers, meanwhile it is also assuring consistent survive of its other products, promising stability. BASF Petronas Chemicals (BPC) based in Malaysia is a joint venture between BASF and Petronas Chemicals Group Berhad (PCG).

In addition, the closure is in line with PCG’s mega expansion plans including the setup of specialty chemicals segments and innovating the existing ones using advanced technologies.

ChemAnalyst predicts that the closure of BPC’s Butanediol plant may not hinder the regional supply but can adhere severe effects to the importing countries based in Asia and Europe. However, with consistent addition and expansion of existing capacities, these effects might nullify in the long run.
