Synthos’ butadiene (BD) producing unit at Kralupy in the Czech Republic is back in operation following an eight-day maintenance shutdown, a company spokesperson confirmed on Monday.

The spokesperson said  the shutdown “was connected with cleaning the cooling system before the summer period.”

There had been some suggestion amongst BD market players last week that the shutdown was unplanned.

The Kralupy BD unit has the capacity to produce more than 130,000 tonnes/year, according to the company spokesperson.
