China’s Shandong Wanda Chemical's on-purpose 100,000 tonne/year butadiene (BD) plant in Dongying will remain shut till the end of this year because of weak market conditions, market sources said on Friday.
The plant in Shandong province was shut on 6 October for maintenance and was initially expected to restart on 28 October, market sources said.
The plant uses butene as feedstock to produce BD through dehydrogenation.
