(ICIS) -- Arkema is on schedule to lift
its declaration of force majeure on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) supplies from its
unit at Lavera, France, while LVM will shut down one PVC line at its unit in
Beek, the Netherlands, at the end of June, company sources said on Friday.
Arkema plans to resume production at its oxychlorination and vinyl chloride
monomer (VCM) unit in Lavera, France, by the end of May, a company source
said.
If there are no problems, the company should be in a position to lift its
declaration of force majeure on PVC supplies from Lavera at the end of May or
early June, the source added.
LVM, part of the Belgium-based Tessenderlo Group, plans to carry out
maintenance at its 225 KTa unit in Beek, the Netherlands, which has four
lines, a company source said.
One of the lines will be shut down for one week at the end of June, which
is unlikely to have any significant impact, the source added.
