SINGAPORE (ICIS news)--Iran's Jam Polypropylene expects to start commercial production at its 300,000 tonne/year plant at Assaluyeh by May 2008, a company source said on Tuesday.

“All the output from the plant will be exported, and our export markets are pretty much all over the world,” the source added.

Propylene feedstock for the privately owned PP plant will come from Jam Petrochemical’s 1.32m tonne/year cracker, also at Assaluyeh, which achieved on-spec production in February.

Jam Petrochemical, a fully owned subsidiary of Iran’s National Petrochemical Co (NPC), owns a stake in Jam Polypropylene. The remaining stake is privately owned.
