Bayer Declares TDI Force Majeure

摘要

Leverkusen-Bayer MaterialScience last week declared force majeure for toluene diisocyanate (TDI) for the Europe, Middle East, Africa region, citing a "forced reduction of TDI production" at its Brunsbut-tel site in Germany. Capacity utilization of the Brunsbuttel TDI plant was "severely reduced" when a chlorine electrolysis plant at the site "was damaged during a massive voltage drop caused by a rapid reactor shutdown" at a nuclear power plant near Hamburg on 4 July.
