Huntsman Corp. recently announced it experienced an unplanned manufacturing disruption on a production unit at its facility in Port Neches, Texas. There were no injuries resulting from the incident.
The disruption, which occurred on August 14, was reportedly caused by equipment failure. The facility manufactures methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), propylene oxide (PO) and propylene glycols (PG).
