NINGBO, China (ICIS news)--Taiwan’s China Man-made Fiber Co (CMFC) plans to shut one of its two 75,000 tonne/year monoethylene glycol (MEG) lines in November for a month-long turnaround, a company source said Tuesday.

“The shutdown is for a catalyst change, but contract volumes would not be affected as we’ve enough stocks to supply our customers” said the source.

CMFC’s two MEG units are located in southern Taiwan’s Kaohsiung.

The Taiwanese company also operates polyester units at the same Kaohsiung site.
