|
According to market sources, Thailand’s IRPC has unexpectedly shut down its upstream propylene unit this morning due to an unspecified technical issue. As a result, the company might have to lower the operation rate at the downstream PP plants in the coming days.
The company owns two PP lines, with a combined capacity of 775,000 tons/year. At the time of this report, there is no confirmation on the duration of the shutdown.
In fact, in an email to its customers, the company has informed the possibility of trimming run rates at PP plant, which could affect supply for November shipment.
