According to market sources, Yeochun Naphtha Cracking Center (YNCC) is planning to shut its No. 2 naphtha cracker by end of February 2018 for a scheduled turnaround.
Based in Yeosu, South Korea, the craker is able to produce 580,000 tons/year of ethylene and 270,000 tons/year of propylene. It is expected to remain off-stream for about 10-12 days.
