Philippines’ NPC delays restart of PE plant
by ChemOrbis Editorial Team - content@chemorbis.com
According to sources close to the company, Philippines’ NPC Alliance Corporation delayed the restart of its 250,000 tons/year HDPE/LLDPE swing plant.
The plant was originally shut in May 2016 for a planned maintenance and expected to restart in September or October before it was postponed to January 2017.
The company now had to postpone the restart date of the plant for a second time to March as some parts from France required for maintenance have not yet arrived and there is no ethylene supply.
