The butadiene (BD) force majeure declared by SABIC as a result of technical problems at its Geleen, Netherlands unit, has been lifted, a company spokesperson confirmed on Wednesday.
“We resumed our supplies as of 1 April, meaning that the FM was ended as well,” the spokesperson said.
The unit, which has the capacity to produce 130,000 tonnes/year of BD, experienced technical issues over the 8-9 March weekend which led to the production of off-spec BD.
The unit was then shut down from 23 March for a few days to resolve the problem.
