UPDATE: More USA producers restarting plants after the winter storm
Semakin banyak produsen petrochemical USA dalam proses memulai produksi kembali plant mereka sesudah badai musim dingin melanda sebagian besar negara, membuat suhu di bawah titik beku, menjadikan penghentian produksi plant meluas di sepanjang daerah Pantai Teluk US untuk tindakan pencegahan.
Penting dicatat sementara beberapa produsen melanjutkan produksi normal, yang lain mungkin memerlukan lebih banyak waktu untuk memeriksa semua jaringan pipa terbuka untuk memastikan keamanan setelah memulai produksi kembali.

Sementara banyak plant tetap berhenti saat laporan ini dibuat. Pakar industri mengatakan beberapa masalah tidak terlihat di inspeksi awal, tetapi hanya bisa dideteksi setelah plant berproduksi.
Banyak plant PP, PE, dan PVC downstream menunggu cracker upstream untuk memulai produksi kembali. Tapi diyakini produsen USA akan memprioritaskan pembeli lokal dan menghabiskan stok ke pasar Amerika Selatan setelah produksi stabil, yang membutuhkan waktu beberapa bulan sebelum kargo USA terlihat di pasar Asia lagi.
