Correction: In the ICIS news story headlined “Dow schedules turnaround at Texas TDI plant” dated 25 March, 2006, please read in the second paragraph …100,000 tonne…instead of …100m tonne….Please read in the third paragraph …59,000 tonne…instead of 59m tonne….A corrected story follows.

HOUSTON (ICIS news)--Dow Chemical is preparing a maintenance turnaround at its Freeport, Texas toluene diisocyanate (TDI) plant, according to sources in Europe, but Dow would not confirm turnaround details on Friday.

The plant produces 100,000 tonne/year of TDI.

Dow said on Monday it would permanently cease TDI production at its 59,000 tonne/year TDI Train 1 line in Freeport but would continue operating its Train 2 line.

Weak TDI demand and abundant supplies had caused Dow to idle Train 1 in December, 2001.
