MOSCOW (MRC) -- In November the
Russian converters may face lack of LLDPE, in particular, butane grades,
according to MRC Price reports.
Butane LLDPE offer in the Russian market is gradually lowering. Some
marketers assume that the converters will face lack of supply in the
second half of November. The main reason is the absence of the Russian
production as well as limited offer from outside suppliers.
The only Russian LLDPE producer – Nizhnekamskneftehim – finished
production early October before maintenance. The next scheduled production is
expected only in December. The second largest supplier of butane LLDPE to the
Russian market – Shurtanskiy Mining & Chemical Combine - has also suspended
production for maintenance this month. Renewal of shipment to the Russian market
is expected not earlier than late November, marketers suppose.
