In mid-October along with renewal of LDPE production at Kazanorgsintez,
Salavatnefteorgsintez and Polymers Plant in Angarsk after scheduled
maintenance, many marketers expected sharp fall in prices. But the market
didn’t see total fall, moreover the prices for some positions remained
unchanged.
The Russian producers renewed PE production after maintenance but not in
full. Kazanorgsintez loaded only half of its capacities because of the problems
with ethylene. There are no LDPE supplies to the domestic market from Polymers
Plant in Angarsk because of technical problems. PE supplies to Russia from
the Belorussian producers are not considerable.
