China-based Huizhou MMA Co will postpone the shutdown of its 90,000 tonne/year methyl methacrylate (MMA) unit in Guangdong province from May to early June for a turnaround, a source close to the company said on Friday.
The MMA plant was originally scheduled shut down for maintenance in mid-May. No reason was given for the delay.
The length of the shutdown will remain at 40 days as originally planned and the MMA plant is expected to be off line until mid-July, the source said.
Huizhou MMA is a subsidiary of Japan’s Mitsubishi Rayon Co (MRC).
