Sibur, a uniquely positioned vertically integrated gas processing and petrochemicals company, is planning to shut its polypropylene (PP) plant for maintenance turnaround.

“The PP plant is to be shut for regular maintenance works in mid-July 2014. The shutdown is expected to last for around two weeks until the end of July,” a company official told fibre2fashion.
