PETRONAS has restarted a No.1 low density polyethylene (LDPE) plant following an unplanned shutdown.

A Polymerupdate source in Malaysia informed that the company has resumed operations at its plant last weekend. The plant was shut due to feedstock supply issue caused by an unplanned outage at the upstream cracker.

Located at Kerteh in Terrenganu, Malaysia, the No. 1 LDPE plant has a production capacity of 255,000 mt/year.
