Braskem ceases chlor-alkali production in Brazil: Union
I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.
Braskem SA has ceased chlor-alkali production at its Maceio unit in Brazil, dismantling it for scrap. The closure affects the production of caustic soda, with the unit having a capacity of 460,000 metric tons per year. Braskem will continue PVC and vinyl chloride production using imported ethylene dichloride. The exit is expected to increase demand for caustic soda from US suppliers, as Brazil is a major destination for US exports. Customers are seeking alternatives, impacting the market dynamics for PVC and polyethylene.
