Does anyone know anything about the mess involving producers/manufacturers of solution vinyl resins.

Dow used to make some, then a company in Brasil called Braskem was going to be making it, and now some company in China.

Why are companies not producing this stuff anymore, is it dangerous? Anyone know of other sources or similar compounds. Any information on this subject would be helpful.

demand has fallen, costs increased, margins decreased.. Game over for Dow.
