Thai MMA is expected to resume operation at its methyl methacrylate (MMA) plant in Map Ta Phut, Thailand over the weekend, a source close to the company said on Friday.
The plant was taken offline on 20 May following an explosion which affected one of its two 90,000 tonne/year MMA production lines.
Both lines were shut for inspection but only one will be brought up following the restart the other held offline until repairs are completed, the source added.
There is no definite date for the restart of the second line.
Thai MMA is a joint venture between Japan's Mitsubishi Rayon Corp (MRC) and Thailand's Siam Cement Group.
