MOSCOW (MRC)–Uz-Kor Gas Chemical has begun resuming polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) production following scheduled turnarounds, according to the ICIS-MRC Price report, citing the plant’s customers.

Uz-Kor Gas Chemical started a gradual resumption of production at its high denisty polyethylene (HDPE) and PP units since 10 October after the shutdown for scheduled turnarounds. The outage did not last long and began on 27 September.
