(MRC) -- In November, Russian producers increased their output of
high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to 67.5 thousand tonnes. Over the 11 months,
total volume of HDPE output in Russia grew by 3% and made 767 thousand
tonnes, according to MRC ScanPlast.
In November, Russian
producers produced about 67.5 thousand tonnes of HDPE, which was by 15% more
than in October. As per MRC analysts, due to a scheduled turnaround of HDPE
production at Kazanorgsyntez, Gazprom neftechem Salavat and
Stavrolen, total volume of production in October fell to 58.5 thousand
tonnes.

Last month, Russian producers increased their output of film and blow
molding HDPE. However, the output of injection molding and pipe grades of
polyethylene decreased.
In some degree the decline in pipe HDPE production
resulted from switching of Nizhnekamskneftechem to production of
linear polyethylene in November.

Following the 11 months’ results, total volume of HDPE production by
Russian producers made 767 thousand tonnes that was by 3% more, year on year.
Nizhnekamskneftechem has shown the greatest increase in production -
about 16%. Despite the technical difficulties in the early autumn, Gazprom
neftechem Salavat this year increased the volume of the HDPE by one third
to the 35.5 thousand tonnes. Because of a weekly suspension for a scheduled
turnaround, Stavrolen showed a modest increase in production volumes - 4%.
Kazanorgsyntez, on the contrary, this year reduced production of high-density
polyethylene by 8%.
