Russian producers decreased HDPE production in February
March 21/2011
MOSCOW (MRC) -- In February Russian producers decreased HDPE
output by 6% in comparison to January to the level of 73.5 KT, according
to MRC ScanPlast. Record output of HDPE was marked in
August 2010 when total output exceeded 84 KT.
Reduction of production in February was caused by a few reasons. First,
February is the shortest month in the year and output of PE is traditionally
low, except for scheduled maintenance.
Secondly, last month some enterprises had
technical problems which affected final volume of output.
Reduction of production was marked at all Russian HDPE productions,
except for Nizhnekamskneftehim. Separate Russian producers reduced the volumes
of production more than by 3 KT each.
