PVC producer Inovyn has mothballed two of four production lines at its Newton Aycliffe site in Durham, England. A company source said that the two largest lines at the site are still operating.

The plant can produce 280,000 t/yr of suspension PVC (s-PVC). Market sources confirmed the closure to Argus. The PVC market in Europe is currently affected by low demand with weak construction figures in a lengthy market. The Aycliffe site manufactures dry blend, rigid, flexible and medical grades of PVC. The site is not fully integrated and imports vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) from another Inovyn site in Rafnes, Norway. The smaller lines impacted mainly produce non-standard s-PVC grades.
