Salavat, one of Russia"s largest production complexes for oil refining and
petrochemicals, has begun resuming its low density polyethylene (LDPE)
production after a scheduled turnaround, according to ICIS-MRC Price
report.

started commissioning works to resume its LDPE production after the scheduled
maintenance since last weekend. Gazprom neftekhim Salavat"s LDPE annual
production capacity is 120,000 tonnes/year.
It is worth noting that the
outage at LDPE production capacities in Salavat started on 1 July and was

to a shortage of ethylene.
