DATE : 2014-08-27

Styrindo Mono Indonesia (SMI) is in plans to shut its No.2 styrene monomer (SM) plant ahead of schedule.

A Polymerupdate source in Indonesia informed that the plant is likely to be shut in mid-September 2014. It was initially scheduled for a shutdown in October 2014.

The revised maintenance schedule has been attributed to technical issues at the plant.

Located at Merak in Indonesia, the plant has a production capacity of 250,000 mt/year.
