Styrindo Mono Indonesia (SMI) plans to shut its 100,000 tonne/year No 1 styrene monomer (SM) unit in the second half of November for maintenance, a company source said on Monday.
The unit, located in Merak, is expected to be shut for around two weeks.
The schedule was initially pushed back to early 2015 but has been brought forward again.
The company has also planned to shut its 250,000 tonne/year No 2 plant, at the same location, in the first quarter of 2015 for maintenance.
SMI is the sole SM producer in the country.
