According to market sources, Malaysia’s Lotte Chemical Titan is planning to shut its No.1 PP line at Pasir Gudong in the middle of April for maintenance. The plant has a production capacity of 140,000 tons/year and is expected to be offline for around two weeks.
The company initially planned to shut the plant in March, but delayed the shutdown because of healthy economics. Lotte Chemical Titan’s No.2 PP plant at the same site has a production capacity of 240,000 tons/year.
