The BASF site located in Central, South Carolina, has facilities for the production of urethanes and nylon.
Urethanes produced are an intermediate product useful in other processes.
The nylon process begins with polymerization and includes extrusion, solids handling, triple-effect evaporation, and fiber spinning. Guests will first hear a BASF and Clemson Site Overview, a Nylon and Fiber Production Overview and Urethane Process and Business Overview. The group will then split and half will tour the urethane facility while the other half tours the nylon plant. Groups will switch plants after their respective tour. Students should wear long pants and closed toe shoes.
