24 April 2008 16:25 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS news)--Spolchemie’s bis-phenol A (BPA) plant at Usti Nad Labem in the Czech Republic will undergo routine maintenance from 19 July, said a company source on Thursday.
The seller said the turnaround was scheduled to last until 3 August, although the precise dates could be subject to some slight alterations. Capacity details for the site were not disclosed.
Epoxy resin production at the site will be unaffected by the turnaround, said the source.
Stocks will be built in advance, added the source and it did not expect any impact on the merchant market, although it did not rule out the possibility of purchasing some additional stocks if required.
BPA market participants include Bayer, Hexion, Valspar, Air Products and Mitsui. The material is used as a feedstock in the production of epoxy resins, polycarbonate and polyols.
