BASF is operating its styrene monomer (SM) plant at lower capacity levels.
A Polymerupdate source in Germany informed that though the exact quantum of reduction could not be ascertained, it is the result of a technical issue at the plant following the restart of the plant after a turnaround in early 2015.
Located at Ludwigshafen in Germany, the plant has a production capacity of 550,000 mt/year.
