South Korea's Polymirae Co. plans to shut three lines at its 700,000 mt/year polypropylene plant at Yeosu in the second half of October for 10 days, a source from the parent company said Friday.
The plant has four PP lines at Yeosu, each with a capacity of around 175,000 mt/year, with a combined capacity of 700,000 mt/year.
Polymirae is a joint venture between Daelim and Lyondell Bassell Industries. It buys all its propylene feedstock exclusively from neighbor and affiliate Yeochun Naphtha Cracking Center.
