BASF shuts down hydrosulfites operations in Germany

“Focus is a cornerstone of BASF’s Winning Ways strategy,” said Dr. Ramkumar Dhruva, President of BASF’s Monomers division. “By concentrating on profitability and long-term value creation, we are safeguarding the competitiveness of our business in a challenging economic environment. As we phase out our activities in the hydrosulfites business, we will work closely with our employees and customers to ensure a responsible transition.”

BASF will exit the hydrosulfites business and close its Ludwigshafen facility.
Products phased out include Hydrosulfite F, HydroBlue 90/92, Evo, Adlite, and Blankit.
Around 65 employees will be supported to find new roles within BASF Group.
The move aligns with BASF’s focus on profitability and long-term value creation.

Hydrosulfites are used as reducing agents in the textile industry during the dyeing process and as bleaching additives in pulp and paper applications.
