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

The No 1 line is expected to be off stream for at least 10 days, the source added.

Thai MMA has another 90,000 tonne/year No 2 line at the same site, which was originally due to undergo scheduled maintenance in early November.

However, the maintenance shutdown might be adjusted, depending on operating status of the No 1 line, the source said. No further details are immediately available.
