By Pierre Bertrand
BASF said that a fire at one of its plants has caused sufficient damage for it to be shut down affecting the supply of aroma ingredients, carotenoid products and precursors for various vitamins.
The fire took place at the German chemicals company's Ludwigshafen site on July 29, BASF said Wednesday, declaring force majeure on deliveries with immediate effect and until further notice.
"BASF is in close contact with customers to share updates and the developments regarding the supply capability of the affected products," the company said.
The affected aroma ingredients are Ionones, Pyranol, DL-Menthol, Rose Oxides, Ethyllinalool, Nerolidol, and Isophytol R, BASF said.
Cleaning, inspection and repair work was underway and no contamination of air, water, or soil was detected, BASF added.
