Thai MMA plans to shut its 90,000 tonne/year No 2 methyl methacrylate (MMA) line in Map Ta Phut in mid-November for maintenance, company sources said on Friday.
The plant is expected to be restarted around late December, they added. Thai MMA also runs a separate 90,000 tonne/year line at the same site.
The company is a joint venture between Japan's Mitsubishi Rayon Corp (MRC) and Thailand's Siam Cement Group.
MMA is produced using a two-stage gas-phase oxidation of isobutylene to methacrylic acid, followed by esterification.
