MOSCOW (MRC) -- TPI Polene is likely to taken an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)/low density polyethylene (LDPE) swing plant off-stream, as per Apic-online.
A Polymerupdate source in Thailand informed that the company has planned to shut the plant in March 2017 and is expected to remain under maintenance for around 30 days. The exact date of the shutdown could not be ascertained.
Located in Map Ta Phut, Rayong province in Thailand, the plant has a production capacity of 150,000 mt/year.
As MRC wrote before, in June 2015, TPI Polene shut down its EVA/LDPE plant in Thailand for a turnaround.
TPI Polene Public Company Limited is Thailand's third largest cement manufacturer. It also manufactures petrochemicals, including low density polyethylene and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA).
