Iran styrene monomer (SM) producer Pars Petrochemical has shut its 600,000 tonne/year plant in Asaluyeh on 1 January because of a technical issue, a source close to the company said on Tuesday.
The technical glitch is expected to be resolved soon and the plant is scheduled to be restarted next week, the source added.
Pars Petrochemical is a unit of state-owned National Petrochemical Corp (NPC).
Other SM producers include SABIC and Chevron Phillips in Saudi Arabia and The Kuwait Styrene Co.
