Vietnam’s Hyosung shut PP plant on technical issues

According to market sources, Hyosung Vina Chemicals Co Ltd has reportedly shut down its PP plant in Vietnam on 29 September 2020 due to an unspecified technical issue. 

The 300,000 tons/year PP unit is expected to remain offline between 20-30 days, sources added. 

The shutdown is expected to curtail local supply further as two other PP producers in Vietnam have also just restarted operation.
