Ineos Styrolution's acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene output at its Antwerp unit in Belgium is back at a "normal production level," as per sources in Platts. Production at the plant was reduced between February and April as a result of works, a different source said back in February. The source confirmed Wednesday that "things are picking up again" and that the company had normal production from April 1-2.
ABS capacity at the Antwerp plant is around 250,000 m tpa, according to a source. On Tuesday, the company announced that it would reduce ABS prices by Eur60/mt in April compared to March, following the settlements of its feedstock prices.
