BASF lifts Force Majeure declaration for Polyamide 6.6 Compounds

BASF is lifting the Force Majeure (FM) declaration for polyamide 6.6 compounds (Ultramid^® A, Capron^® PA6.6) with immediate effect.

The production problems in the hexamethylenediamine (HMD)-plant in Seal Sands (UK) are eliminated. Thus BASF is lifting the Force Majeure declaration for HMD, AH salt and polyamide 6.6 polymer and the resulting FM declaration for the polyamide 6.6 compounds. Both FM were declared in June this year.
