Asahi Kasei Chemical is likely to shut its styrene monomer (SM) plant for maintenance turnaround.

A Polymerupdate source in Japan informed that the plant is planned to be shut in mid-September 2015. It is likely to remain off-stream for around one month.

Located at Mizushima in Japan, the plant has a production capacity of 390,000 mt/year.
