      Thermoplastic polymers market in Russia.
      Analysis and forecasts


      The production and consumption of thermoplastics have been growing in line with Russia’s GNP. However, the amount and share of these materials in the total consumption are still considerably lower than those in developed countries.


      Our approach to the product range, quality management and pricing of polymer materials must be further revised. Localization of production facilities by international leaders of the consumer market will either eliminate these drawbacks quickly or reduce Russia’s output.

      Plan of establishing a manufacture of newly designed polymer valves. Investment project


      запорная арматура

      ?The most significant number of ruptures and leakages occur near check valves during transportation of liquid products. For example, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico would be impossible if the hydraulic pressure on the check valve of the system had been several times lower.


      Setting a valve at an angle of 45° to the pipe instead of 90° and other engineering solutions could reduce the pressure, make hydraulic impact impossible and allow opening and closing valves without a hydraulic rotation booster. Such a solution allows the substitution metal with polymers in those valve designs that excluded such replacement thus far.


      Our new check valves possess such advantages as resistance to corrosive environment and low cost in comparison with metal analogs. They are protected by over 10 invention patents. The technical characteristics of the valve and its competitiveness against foreign analogs have been confirmed by tests conducted by NPP Mashtest (Korolev, Moscow region), Tyazhprom-Armature (Aleksin, Tula region), Hydromash Plant (Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo region) and Neftepromremont (Strezhevoi, Tomsk region).


      The Russian Congress of Plastic Converters scheduled for this November will present the feasibility study of this project to potential investors describing the amount of investments needed, market size, equipment capacity, project payback period. If implemented, the project will prolong the service life of check valves used at numerous residential and industrial objects, including chemical facilities. The goal of the project is to gradually replace the old valves of currently operating pipeline systems and install the new valves on newly built plastic pipelines.




      Dariusz Lukaszewski, regional director of Milliken Chemical Opportunities for the production of innovative polypropylene grades in Russia



      The global market offers over 800 various grades of polypropylene made through innovative hyper nucleation and clarification technologies developed by Milliken. At present, the company is interested in offering its technologies to Russian converters.


      Dariusz Lukaszewski’s report at the 4th Congress of Plastic Converters will dwell on the following issues:
      – Demand for new PP grades in Russia.
      – Production of innovative import-replacing PP grades in Russia.
      – Consumption of new PP grades in Russia, including market needs and restrictions.
