LG Chem halts operations at No.3 cracker

25 Mar 2026 09:00 IST
LG Chem has shut down its No.3 cracker.

A Polymerupdate source in South Korea informed a team member, “The cracker was taken offline on March 23, 2026, due to a feedstock shortage caused by supply constraints amid geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Further details on the duration of the shutdown could not be ascertained.”

Located in Yeosu, South Korea, the cracker has an ethylene production capacity of 900,000 mt/year and propylene production capacity of 450,000 mt/year.
