MOSCOW, RUSSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – February 2, 2024 – SIBUR, Russia’s largest producer of polymers and rubbers, is developing more than 70 new product grades to meet the diverse needs of customers in various industries.
This development includes polymers for packaging solutions, radiation sterilization and other medical applications. In addition, SIBUR intends to manufacture special reagents and drilling fluids for the oil and gas industry.
In addition, SIBUR aims to introduce several dozen new grades of plastic using recycled materials by 2024. The company’s Polief factory, located in the Bashkortostan region, already produces PET granules containing up to 30 % of recycled plastic, which are used to make plastic. bottles for water.
Over the past year, SIBUR implemented 330 programs in collaboration with its customers to produce the polymer grades they need.

These products include polymers and rubbers for the transportation industry, as well as polymer solutions for construction, which provide greater energy efficiency and durability than other materials.
SIBUR is also developing its internal production of specialty chemicals, previously imported. These chemicals include N-butyllithium, used in the production of specific synthetic rubbers, and zirconium tetraisobutyrate, essential for the manufacture of stretch films.
