With effect from 11 January 2010, the nitriles division of Ineos has declared force majeure for acrylonitrile from Cologne for an undisclosed period, as per PIE. A shortage of feedstock propylene has been responsible for the cracker shutdown. The force majeure is a delayed result of the closure of cracker 4 on 10 December 2009, as Ineos been able to source enough propylene until now. Its present feedstock supply is unable to meet demand.
