Japan's Mitsui Chemicals will restart its 553,000tpa naphtha cracker in Chiba, near Tokyo in late March after repair work.
The cracker was originally shut on 28 February due to a problem and failed to restart earlier this month.
The company suffered a loss of about ¥3bn ($33m) due to shutdown of the cracker, according to Reuters.
Mitsui Chemicals is the producer of petrochemicals, polymers, industrial chemicals, fine chemicals and engineering materials.
