Japan's Sumitomo Chemical is planning to build a 40,000 tonne/year solution styrene butadiene rubber (S-SBR) plant in Jurong Island, Singapore, a well-known feedstock for the tyre industry.
The plant which will comissioned in 2013 has a capex of $120 million which is timely due to the strength of the yen currency. The plant will not replace Sumitomo's existing 10,000 tonne/year S-SBR plant in Ichihara, Chiba, Japan which is catering for the captive Japanese market.
