BASF’s customers use formic acid and mixes containing formic acid in multiple applications. In animal nutrition, they serve to improve feed hygiene and digestion, and as a result allow food of animal origin to be produced in a particularly eco-efficient manner.
2-Ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA) and Isononanoic acid are chemical intermediates for many different industrial applications, including the manufacture of plasticizers, pvc stabilizers, lubricants and drying additives for coatings.
