Sterling Leaves Styrene Business

November 19, 2007 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 85, Issue 47

As expected, Sterling Chemicals will exit the styrene business to pursue "other strategic initiatives." The decision comes after U.S. government clearance of a styrene supply agreement with Nova Chemicals that has been transferred to Ineos Nova, Nova's joint venture with Ineos (C&EN, Sept. 24, page 17). These actions made Sterling's Texas City, Texas, styrene plant redundant. Sterling says it has been evaluating other projects that might use its styrene-related facilities.
