Complex that supplies 70% of global critical PCB base targeted in Iranian strike — attack could fracture the already disrupted electronics supply chain

In yet another blow to the broader industry, Iran hit the Jubail petrochemical complex in Saudi Arabia on 7th April, bringing the production of high-purity polypropylene ether (PPE) resin, a critical base material for manufacturing PCB laminate, to a complete stop.

Hopefully these plastics can be produced without petroleum for a reasonable cost
