Liaoning Huajin Tongda Chemical is planning to shut its 100,000 tonne/year butadiene (BD) plant in northeastern China on 25 January because of a technical issue, a company source said on Thursday.

The plant in Liaoning province will be down for four to five days, the source said.

An estimated 1,100 tonnes of BD would be lost during the plant’s shutdown, the source said.

Liaoning Huajin Tongda Chemical is a key BD producer in China.
