According to market sources, Shenhua XinJiang Coal-based New Materials Project has unexpectedly shut its PP and LDPE plants since 21 July 2017 due to cracking on granulator bearing.
Located at Urumqi, China, the company has a 450,000 ton/year coal-based PP unit and a 270,000 ton/year coal-based PE (LDPE) unit. The plants are expected to remain off-stream for 20 days.
