LyondellBasell declares force majeure on polypropylene from Carrington, UK

11-Jul-14

LyondellBasell has declared force majeure on polypropylene supplies out of its plant in Carrington, northeast England, on Monday, as per Platts. The force majeure was on the back of an unforeseen shutdown of the PP plant due to a blockage of the polymerization reactor and associated technical problems, the letter said. The letter said LyondellBasell expected to restart the plant next week, with full resumption of supplies in August. The company was not available for comment.
