Market sources reported that Indonesia’s Chandra Asri Petrochemical has once again been forced to shutdown its LLDPE unit in Cilegon last weekend on electricity supply issues. Restart schedule remain unconfirmed.
 
The unit is a HDPE/LLDPE line, which can produce 200,000 tons/year. A source close to the company informed, “The impact of electricity supply on the plant could be more severe than other problem and the plant might take slightly longer to come back. We therefore will not be able to fulfil any contract or spot orders in the next couple of weeks.”
