SINGAPORE (ICIS news)--Asia’s largest polycarbonate (PC) producer Teijin Chemicals is planning a turnaround at its Singapore plant in early November, a company official said on Wednesday.

 

The 220,000 tonne/year plant on Sakra island, which comprised four lines, would undergo one month of maintenance, the source said, adding the company had already reduced operations by 15% due to poor economics.

 

Offers of optical grade PC were at $2,700/tonne CIF (cost, insurance and freight) southeast Asia and general purpose PC at $2,950-3,000/tonne CIF southeast Asia but the company was mulling PC price hikes by up to $150/tonne due to rising manufacturing costs, the source said.
