According to market sources, Polychim declared force majeure on its PP supply from Dunkirk, France due to some technical difficulties following the restart from a maintenance shutdown in the beginning of November.
It is not yet known when the force majeure will be lifted, sources said.
The plant has a production capacity of 230,000 tons/year of PP and it is the only PP plant of the company while it receives its propylene feedstock from Versalis’ neighboring cracker.
