Force majeure at Texas polymers site

An explosion at the Baytown site causes Bayer MaterialScience to restrict polymers production while damages and the cause of the incident are investigated.

Following an explosion in a process vessel at the Baytown Industrial Park in the US state of Texas on Tuesday, September 26, 2006, Bayer MaterialScience is experiencing restrictions on production. An international team of experts from Bayer is working hard to investigate the cause of the incident in close collaboration with the responsible authorities.

Bayer MaterialScience AG is one of the world’s largest polymer manufacturers. Its main fields of activity are the production of high-tech polymer materials and the development of innovative solutions.

Following the incident, one of Bayer MaterialScience’s two TDI production lines in Baytown was shut down and will remain so temporarily. The damage in economic terms cannot yet be calculated. TDI (toluene diisocyanate) is used in the manufacture of flexible polyurethane foam which finds application, for example, in upholstery, mattresses and car seats.

The total annual capacity of Bayer MaterialScience’s TDI production facilities in Baytown amounts to 200,000 metric tons. A good proportion of this comes from the production line that has been shut down. For this reason Bayer MaterialScience has declared a state of force majeure on Friday, September 29. The company will inform customers about this without delay.

Bayer MaterialScience currently continues to adhere to the targets it set for 2006.
