BASF expands DMAPA and PEA production in Nanjing, China

BASF celebrated the expansion and 10th anniversary of its 3-(dimethylamino)propylamine (DMAPA) and polyetheramine (PEA) production at its site in Nanjing, China. With the startup of the expanded plants in July 2025, the site’s annual DMAPA production capacity has nearly doubled while PEA capacity has increased by approximately 25%.

BASF celebrated the expansion of DMAPA and PEA plants at BASF Nanjing site.

 

Dimethylamino propylamine (DMAPA)

 

DMAPA is an important building block for betaines, which are used to produce gentle liquid soaps, shampoos and dishwashing detergents. DMAPA is also used in water treatment as well as in the production of plant protection products, lubricant additives, polyurethane foams and epoxy resin hardeners.

 

Following the expansion, BASF has increased its global production capacity of DMAPA by more than 20% to about 85,000 metric tons per year, reinforcing its position as one of the world's leading manufacturers of DMAPA.

 

Polyetheramine (PEA)

 

PEA is an intermediate chemical for epoxy curing agents used in the production of plastics, polyurea coatings, adhesives, reaction injection molding and wind blade composites. BASF offers PEA under its Baxxodur brand.

 

Carbon reduction achieved from 100% renewable electricity

 

Since 2023, BASF has transitioned its entire amine portfolio produced at its Nanjing site to 100% renewable electricity. In addition to DMAPA and PEA, this also applies to tert-Butylamine (tBA), n-octylamine (NOA), and 1,2-propylendiamine (1,2-PDA).

 

This change has reduced annual CO2 emissions by approximately 9,800 tons compared with the baseline year 2020, corresponding to an average product carbon footprint (PCF) reduction of about 4% across the entire amine portfolio at BASF’s Nanjing site.

 

Customers benefit from this transition as it reduces their Scope 3 emissions without requiring any changes on their end.
