Olin plans to shut down its diaphragm-grade chloralkali capacity in Freeport, Texas, that provides feedstock to Dow’s propylene oxide (PO) unit, the US-based chloralkali producer said on Thursday.

Dow plans to shut down that PO unit at the end of 2025, and those plans prompted Olin to close the diaphragm-grade chloralkali capacity that serves the Dow facility.
