CORRECTION: Singapore’s TPC mulls over major maintenance in 2021

Market sources reported that The Polyolefins Company (TPC) is planning to carry out a 45 days shutdown at the PP plant in Jurong Island, Singapore in mid-July 2021 for maintenance.

Only part of the unit would be shut during the time, according to a source close to the producer. Affected grades might include PP random copolymers and terpolymer while the homo-PP line would remain operating.

TPC also owns a 260,000 tons/year LDPE plant at the same site, which will not be affected by the overhaul. 

The company last conducted maintenance in July 2018.
