South Korea’s Yeochun NCC (YNCC) will extend the turnaround of its 240,000 tonne/year butadiene (BD) plant by one week because of poor market conditions and for safety audit, a company source said on Friday.

The BD unit, at Yeosu in South Korea, will shut down from 8 May to 4 June for maintenance, a week longer than its original schedule from 8 May to 28 May, the source said.
