DuPont’s vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) plant in Texas has restarted after a few weeks of planned maintenance in March, a source close to the plant said on Tuesday.

A company spokesman would not comment on the turnaround, but sources at a recent industry conference said the 335,000 tonne/year plant in LaPorte would be finished by the end of last week.
