This year more than 700 exhibitors from 30 countries of the world take part in it. For four days, visitors could familiarize themselves with a wide range of innovative products, offers and services, learn about new trends and opportunities in the plastics, rubber, packaging and packaging technology industries.

  PJSC Nizhnekamskneftekhim participates in Interplastic for the 14th time. At Expocentre Fairgrounds, Nizhnekamsk petrochemists presented their best solutions in the polymer business: new brands of plastics and synthetic rubber.

  As of today, the company supplies consumers with seven types of rubber (isoprene, butyl, bromine and chlorobutyl, polybutadiene - on neodymium and lithium catalysts, styrene butadiene), as well as four types of plastics (polystyrene, ABS plastic, polypropylene and polyethylene). The new brand assortment is derived from well-known brands, but with other point indicators required to meet individual customer requirements and replace import supplies.

  For example, for more than three years the market is well acquainted with the brand of linear low-density polyethylene RE5118QM (melt flow index = 3), which was developed for the production of stretch films and became a laureate of the federal competition under the Program “100 Best Products of Russia-2019”, today the company has mastered the production of LLDPE with an MFI less than 1 for the production of high-strength films and geomembranes.

  The stand of Nizhnekamskneftekhim aroused particular interest among the visitors of the exhibition, meetings, business negotiations were organized here. Managers of commercial and technical services, chemists of the scientific and technological center discussed problems, answered questions of the partners. Over 70 different meetings have been held.

  According to specialists of the company’s commercial director’s office, at present PJSC Nizhnekamskneftekhim offers the best conditions for cooperation for small and medium plastic processors: a wide selection of branded assortment, favorable prices and stable supplies of raw materials.

• 30.01.2020 Modern Technologies in the New Production Unit
  

  A Solution Styrene Butadiene synthetic rubber (DSSK) with a capacity of 60 thousand tons per year is under construction at PJSC Nizhnekamskneftekhim. This new type of product is the result of the painstaking work of scientists and manufacturers of the joint-stock company, who have developed a rubber technology that has valuable characteristics for tire companies.

  The construction of a new industrial facility began in 2019. To date, the foundations for the equipment have been installed at the construction site, metalwork is being installed, basic process equipment has been installed, and piping work is being arranged on the equipment. For example, a tank farm is now fully assembled.

  New production facility is being built using environmentally friendly modern technologies. So, here, for the first time, an air emission treatment unit will be used at the finishing line. This additional measure will completely eliminate the ingress of pollutants into the atmosphere.

  In order to exclude manual labor when placing rubber bales in containers, it is planned to equip the production with a special robot-stacker.

  In parallel, work is underway to hire personnel, specialists and workers for the new production. The project implementation period is 2020.

  Divinyl-styrene synthetic rubber is used to produce new high-speed eco-friendly types of car tires. One of the main advantages of such tires is that the DSSK provides them with better grip on the wet road, which means it improves car safety. At the same time, they have a low level of noise during movement, and low rolling resistance allows reducing fuel consumption. DSSK is also used in the rubber and shoe industry and in the manufacture of conveyor belts.
