BASF PETRONAS Chemicals plans to restart operations at its crude 160,000 tonne/year crude acrylic acid (CAA) facility in Kuantan at Pahang, Malaysia, by 18 January, a company source said on Thursday.

The unit is down for unscheduled maintenance, according to the company source.

Further details about the shutdown were not immediately available.

The company shut its CAA unit in the week of 6 January because of technical difficulties, according to several market sources.
