08-Dec-16

Supply of polypropylene from Polychim's plant in Dunkirk, France, has resumed, as per company source in Platts. "Production is running but force majeure has not yet been lifted," the source said. Polychim, which operates a single 230,000 m tpa polypropylene plant, declared force majeure mid-November following technical difficulties that emerged restarting from maintenance.

Scheduled maintenance at the Dunkirk PP plant began in September and had been planned for completion within two months. The company source declined to comment on when the force majeure may be lifted.
