Typhoon Maria Poses Threat to Ethylene Units in East Asia, an Industrial Info Market Brief

Typhoon Maria poses a threat to four ethylene units in East Asia. Each of these units are on the southernmost potential path of the storm, which is expected to see 60-kilometer-per-hour winds. If these naphtha-fed units are taken offline even temporarily, the total capacity offline will equal 8.5 billion pounds of ethylene.
