(chemmonitor) -- The Sweden-headquartered firm
Perstorp was forced to provisionally suspend activity at one of its
manufacturing units.
The facility produces chlor-alkali. The closure
resulted from a strike at the plant. Shutdown of the unit affected manufacturing
rates at the downstream toluene di-isocyanate (TDI) facility.
On 4
February, Perstorp was forced to stop production at its chlor-alkali unit
because of the strike and this impacted on its downstream TDI
facility.
As a result, availability for its chlor-alkali and TDI products
will be limited. TDI supplies are under strict allocation with immediate effect,
with a minimum 50% reduction on contractual commitments. |
