Nippon Shokubai’s 80,000 tonne/year acrylic acid (AA) unit and 90,000 tonne/year superabsorbent polymer (SAP) unit in Cilegon, Indonesia are currently shut for scheduled maintenance, a source close to the company said on Wednesday.

The units were taken off line in the week ended 29 November, the source said.

The plants started up in end-August, but had to shut for checks and inspections before they start commercial operations in January next year, the source said.
