SIBUR's Tobolsk enterprise (ZapSibNeftekhim) has increased production of PE100 black pipe polyethylene. The growth was aimed at meeting the sharply increased demand from pipe manufacturers for infrastructure projects in the field of gas and water supply. It became possible thanks to the rapid reconfiguration of production facilities and prioritization of supplies to the domestic market.
SIBUR also continued to work on providing pipe manufacturers with special brands.
The company has launched the production of a new brand of black polyethylene pipe PE 100 RC. This brand is resistant to the spread of cracks and allows the production of high-tech pipes for trenchless laying, as well as for laying in difficult soils.
For the production of corrugated pipes, the production of PP I003EX polypropylene grade was launched. Previously, polypropylene for this segment was purchased by import. By the end of the year SIBUR also plans to launch the production of a blue grade of PE 100 RC polyethylene.
Yulia Rumyantseva, Head of Industry Sales of the Construction segment:
"SIBUR's main task is to meet the needs of the domestic market and provide local processors with the necessary volumes of raw materials. Together with manufacturers of pipe products, we conduct a constant dialogue to discuss their needs and determine further steps to improve the company's branded assortment. Such interaction allows not only to maintain the efficiency of manufacturers of pipe products in conditions of import restrictions, but also to increase the pace of production of polymer pipes for the needs of socially significant industries."
