Firms plan Thai complex

February 27, 2006 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 84, Issue 9

Japan's Asahi Kasei and Thailand's PTT have reached a basic agreement on jointly building acrylonitrile, methyl methacrylate, and polymethyl methacrylate plants in Thailand. The plants would use Asahi technology and PTT feedstock. The firms envision a 200,000-metric-ton-per-year acrylonitrile unit opening in 2009 and using propane as feedstock instead of propylene. Asahi and PTT are also considering a 70,000-metric-ton methyl methacrylate plant based on Asahi technology.
