▪️6 billion rubles — Sibur’s investments in the construction of a center for piloting polymer production technologies in Tobolsk, which will reduce the time for bringing new products to market by up to 10 times
“The acceleration of these developments is of great importance for strengthening the country’s technological independence and the sustainability of industries,” Sibur said
Completion of construction is planned by the end of September, then commissioning and comprehensive testing are planned with the receipt of test products at the end of this year
▪️The hardware configuration of the project provides the opportunity to test more than 90% of the spectrum of existing and promising technologies for the production of base polymers
Annually in Tobolsk, it is expected to test at least 5 catalysts and test the launch of about 10 new polymer brands. The positive effect for the processing industries can be measured in additional hundreds of thousands of tons of modern synthetic materials
▪️”Polyethylene and polypropylene are critically important for a number of industries. Technological independence for these materials is one of the strategic goals, and the creation of a technology piloting center will accelerate its achievement. The creation of new materials will contribute to import substitution and the growth of Russia’s export potential,” the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia said
▪️Sibur is the largest vertically integrated gas processing and petrochemical company in Russia, uniting a number of production sites in various regions of the Russian Federation
“The development of the real sector of the economy with full-scale import substitution and ensuring full technical and economic sovereignty of our country is a strategic priority and a necessary condition for economic growth. It is especially important that this happens primarily in high-tech areas of production on the domestic scientific and technological base,” said Alexander Galushka, Deputy Head of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation
