Japan’s Mitsubishi Rayon Co (MRC) plans to shut its 55,000 tonne/year No 1 butane-based methyl methacrylate (MMA) line in Otake at around end-July for a scheduled turnaround, a company source said on Thursday.

The turnaround is expected to be completed by early August, the source added.

MRC’s has another 55,000 tonne/year butane-based No 2 MMA line as well as a 107,000 tonne/year acetone cyanohydrin-based MMA line at the same site.
