Sibur launches Kanvalan brand of non-woven geotextiles

Kemerovo-based Orton, a subsidiary of Sibur, has opened a new plant for manufacturing non-woven geotextiles under the Kanvalan trademark, Sibur said in a statement. The new facility has a capacity of 9.4 tonnes per year (about 28 million m2 per year). The material will be produced from virgin polypropylene using the span bond technology.

The Kanvalan geotextiles (white in colour, width of up to 5.2 metres) are used for separating structural layers, as well as in drainage and protection. The main applications of this product are road and railway building, infrastructure for oil and gas fields, pipeline ballasting, as well as industrial and civil construction. The license and equipment for the new line of geotextiles was bought from the Italian company O.R.V. Manufacturing S.p.A. Total investments in the project are estimated at 900 million roubles.
