China Petrochemical Development Corp (CPDC) has rescheduled a maintenance turnaround at its caprolactam plant.

A Polymerupdate source in Taiwan informed that as per earlier schedule, the plant was to be taken off-stream for a maintenance turnaround in December 2015. However, the shutdown of the plant has been brought ahead of the schedule to November 2015 owing to weak market fundamentals. The plant will remain shut for around 3-4 weeks.

Located in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, the plant has a production capacity of 200,000 mt/year.
