MOSCOW (MRC)–Russian producer Kazanorgsintez has begun shutting down its low density polyethylene (LDPE) production for a scheduled turnaround, according to a MRC Price Report.
Sources at Kazanorgsintez said that the gradual LDPE shutdown began on 10 April, and would conclude on Thursday.
The maintenance will last for nearly a month. The firm has the capacity to produce 140,000 tonnes/year.
Other shutdowns for maintenance at Russian LDPE plants are scheduled for July, with Angarsk Polymers and Gazprom neftekhim Salavat taking off-stream their production capacities.
