BASF South East Asia lifted its force majeure on styrene monomer supply from Singapore on Monday (October 7).
The halt in SM supply to customers followed its Singapore-based joint venture Ellba Eastern declaring a force majeure on SM supply from the 550,000 mt/year SM/propylene oxide plant to partners BASF and Shell on September 16.
Ellba lifted its force majeure on Friday.
Among BASF's customers is Styrolution -- a 50:50 joint venture between BASF and INEOS -- with acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene and polystyrene plants in South Korea, Thailand and India.
