Thai MMA has restarted production at its 90,000 tonne/year No 1 methyl methacrylate (MMA) line in Map Ta Phut earlier this week, a source close to the company said on Friday.

The No 1 line was unexpectedly shut down in early November because of a technical issue.

Meanwhile, the 90,000 tonne/year No 2 MMA line at the same site has been shut for a scheduled maintenance, the source said.

The No 2 line will be off line for around two weeks, the source added.

The company is a joint venture between Japan's Mitsubishi Rayon Corp (MRC) and Thailand's Siam Cement Group.
