Venezuela looking to gain normalcy in its PE production

Venezuela’s polyethylene (PE) production is working well, a source familiar with the PE market said on Wednesday.

The country's only low density polyethylene (LDPE) plant was said to resumed operations after shutting down as part as a follow-up to a previous stoppage.

In recent months, LDPE production at Polinter was "intermittent" because of a technical problem. Polinter is controlled by Pequiven, which also supplies the feedstock ethylene for the PE production.

Ethylene supply continues at its normal levels, the source said.

Some PE resins are used to produce food-related packaging. End users have complained about the lack of packaging for the food industry and others.
