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.
