Tatar Stan’s output has increased slightly, but it can not offset the decrease in the output of the other three producers.
Russia’s production of HDPE dropped from 84 thousand and 300 tons a month ago to 45 thousand and 900 tons in September, due to the maintenance of Stavrolen and Kazanorgsintez production sites.
Kazanorgsintez’s production of HDPE dropped from 50 thousand and 800 tons a month ago to 32 thousand and 200 tons in September. The Kazan manufacturer stopped production from September 26th to October 20th to make profits. The total output of HDPE was 401 thousand and 500 tons in 1-9, an increase of 1% over the same period last year.
Stavrolen’s output last month was 3400 tons, compared with 28 thousand and 200 tons in August. Budyonovsk manufacturers discontinued production from September 6th to October 18th. During the period, the total output of the plant was 214 thousand and 200 tons, down 4% from the same period last year.

Gazprom neftekhim Salavat increased its capacity utilization in September, and total factory output increased from 5400 tons last month to 10200 tons.
The low production in the last month of summer is caused by the delay in maintenance work. In the first 9 months of 2019, the total production of HDPE in the Bashkir plant was 77 thousand tons, down 14% from the same period last year.
Nizhnekamskneftekhim produces linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) during this period.
