Huntsman Corporation's joint venture crude MDI facility located in Caojing, China, is expected to resume production in Q2-2007. The facility has been offline since mid-December, and is currently undergoing repairs to replace a damaged heat exchanger. This is a joint venture between Huntsman, BASF, Shanghai Hua Yi (Group) Company, Shanghai Chlor-Alkali Chemical Co. Ltd. and Sinopec Shanghai Gao Qiao Petrochemical Corporation.
Huntsman's downstream majority-owned MDI finishing and pre-polymers operation - Huntsman Polyurethanes Shanghai Ltd. - remains operational and has been importing crude MDI from the Company's facilities in Rozenburg, the Netherlands and Geismar, Louisiana to meet Asian demand for downstream MDI products.
