MOSCOW (MRC) -- Yesterday Ufaorgsyntez was forced to suspend polypropylene (PP) production. Suspension will take not more than three days, ICIS-MRC Price reports informs.
On 1 October, Ufaorgsyntez suspended polypropylene production. It is caused by interruption in supplies of the feedstock - propane-propylene fraction. As the sources in the company inform, suspension will take about three days.
The annual PP capacity at Ufaorgsyntez makes 100,000 tonnes. In January-August the plant produced about 80,000 tonnes of PP.
As we informed before, because of the lack of the fraction, Poliom was forced to shift the terms of the restart of PP production. On 1 September, Omsk producer suspended its capacities for a two week maintenance. Though on the back of limited feedstock, the restart is expected only this week and with incomplete capacities utilization.
