Report: BASF to sell photoinitiators business

4:40 AM MDT | April 11, 2016 | Natasha Alperowicz

BASF declined to comment on reports that it is in the process of selling its photoinitiators business, which forms part of its dispersions & pigments operation. Bloomberg on Friday reported that BASF has hired advisors to help market the business, quoting people familiar with the situation.

BASF says it is the global leader in performance additives, particularly of photoinitiators and light stabilizers. In 2015 the dispersions & pigments business reported sales of €4.6 billion ($5.3 billion). The company in 2014 boosted its photoinitiator production and efficiency at Mortara, Italy. The site is one of the largest in the world for the production of photoinitiators.
