Styrindo Mono Indonesia, a subsidiary of Chandra Asri Petrochemical, plans to restart its 250,000 tonne/year No2 styrene monomer (SM) plant next week, a company source said on Friday.

The facility located in Merak was shut in mid-September due to weak market conditions.

Styrindo Mono Indonesia operates another 100,000 tonne/year No1 unit at the same location. This plant will shut next week when the larger unit restarts.

The company is the sole producer of SM in Indonesia.
