Kazanorgsintez to replace imported metallocene polyethylene

25 March 2019, Monday

Starting from April 2019, Kazanorgsintez will start the industrial production of metallocene linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). Up to this moment, PE processers had to use only foreign grades of this product, as domestic equivalents were not presented at the market. Kazanorgsintez will become the only producer of metallocene polyethylene in Russia. Introduction of domestic grades to the market will allow reducing deficiency of metallocene products and making them available for a wide range of polymer processers.

Metallocene linear polyethylene is applied to produce stretch films, stretch hood films, general purpose films of high durability, films for lamination, agricultural films, and as well applied independently or as additive to other PE types.

At a new stage of metallocene product development, Kazanorgsintez sets a goal to offer to the community of processers the highest quality product that would be competitive to metallocene LLDPE grades from such world brands as Sabic and ExxonMobil.

Kazanorgsintez is one of the largest enterprises of Russia (part of the TAIF Group). It produces 40% of all Russia’s PE and 100% of domestic polycarbonate. Its portfolio of products includes polyethylene, PE pipes, phenol, acetone, bisphenol A, polycarbonates. The company (with an annual output of 1.7 million MT) is the largest PE exporter among Russia’s producers supplying its products to 31 countries.
