It is reported that Sinochem Quanzhou Co Ltd (Phase II) has started up the newly constructed HDPE plant on 15 September 2020. The company is setting the unit for a trial run before the upstream naphtha cracker commence operation on 20 September 2020.

Sinochem started up the HDPE unit earlier than initially planned while there is no confirmation on the trial schedule at the PP line.
