SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Taiwan’s Formosa Plastics Corp (FPC) will shut its 450,000 tonne/year polypropylene (PP) plant at Ningbo in China’s Zhejiang province on 18 May, a company source said on Wednesday.
FPC is shutting the plant for maintenance work that will last for about 15 days, the source added.
Local distributors said the turnaround will have limited impact on the market because of its short duration.
