Dow's Zhangjiagang organic silicon monomer plant shut down

The hydrolysis equipment of Dow Wacker's Zhangjiagang monomer plant has leaked. Currently, the entire line has been shut down and repairs are underway, which is expected to last about a week. Dow's Zhangjiagang monomer production capacity is 400,000 tons, which is an important monomer supplier. The shutdown will make the already short DMC more in short supply, which may further push up the price of raw materials and even drive the price of downstream products. From the market perspective, some manufacturers have raised the prices of DMC and D4 yesterday (3rd), and prices of raw rubber and 107 rubber have also risen.
