Shell Chemicals has lifted a force majeure (FM) on supplies of styrene monomer (SM) from its Propylene Oxide/Styrene monomer plant in the Netherlands.

A Polymerupdate source in the Netherlands informed that the FM was removed on August 6, 2013. The FM was imposed on July 9, 2013 following the closure of the POSM plant, owing to a technical failure on the same day.

Located in Moerdijk, the Netherlands, the plant has a production capacity of 450,000 mt/year.
