Japan’s Toagosei plans to shut its acrylate esters plant in Singapore in end-June for scheduled maintenance, a source close to the company said on Wednesday. The plant, located on Jurong Island, will be shut for a month-long maintenance, the source said.

Toagosei’s Singapore facility includes a 60,000 tonne/year butyl acrylate plant, and a 20,000 tonne/year methyl acrylate/ethyl acrylate swing unit. The units are currently operating at 100% capacity, the source added.
