DATE : 2015-01-09

Styrindo Mono Indonesia (SMI) is likely to restart its No 2 styrene monomer (SM) plant following an unexpected shutdown.

A Polymerupdate source in Indonesia informed that No 2 SM plant is planned to be restarted next week. It was shut in end-December 2014 owing to the closure of a 600,000 cracker at the site operated by Chandra Asri.

Located at Merak in Indonesia, the No 1 SM plant has a capacity of 100,000 mt and No 2 SM plant has a capacity of 250,000 mt/year.
