Dow Chemical and ExxonMobil Chemical are selling their Dexco Polymers joint venture to Taiwan’s TSRC. Dexco makes styrene block copolymers (SBCs) such as styrene-butadiene-styrene and styrene-isoprene-styrene at a plant in Plaquemine, La. TSRC says the purchase, set to be completed in the second quarter, will make it one of the five largest SBC makers in the world.
