Lucite International places MMA customers on sales control

LONDON (ICIS)--Major European methyl methacrylate (MMA) producer Lucite International has placed its customers on sales control, with effect from 17 June, because of an unplanned outage, a source from the company said on Tuesday.

The company said an imminent shutdown was required to resolve a technical issue at its Cassel site, in northeastern England.

“Lucite has no option but to implement a sales control on MMA, methacrylic acid [MAA] and n-butyl methacrylate [NBMA] from its Cassel site to its customers and to allocate available volume on a fair and reasonable basis, and in compliance with contract commitments,” the company said in a letter to its customers.
