Plastik has Developed World-Quality Product

Plastik JSC, a subsidiary of SIBUR, has accomplished up-grade of the plant for the ABS/PC composite material production and as a result has manufactured a product corresponding to the world’s best analogues.

The plant was modernized in 2008-2009 in close cooperation with the world leaders in this field. Lab tests were conducted on modern equipment in full compliance with the testing methods applied by the world’s leading companies for ABS/PC compounds testing. The results of the lab tests have confirmed the highest quality of the manufactured products. The production equipment and processes make it possible to produce different grades of compounds in conformity with consumers’ specific requirements.

The designed capacity of the plant, amounting to 7.5 thousand tons per year, allows full satisfaction of domestic demand for ABS/PC. Until now, Russia imported about 70% of this kind of compounds.

For editors

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene/polycarbonate (ABS/PC) is a composite material having such properties as higher thermal endurance and shock resistance of end products as well as high fluidity allowing to manufacture complex thin-wall items. The produced ABS/PC compound of molding and extrusion grades is used for manufacture of details for interior and exterior finishing mainly in automobile and railway-car building as well as in production of mass consumer commodities (TV-sets, telephones, etc.).

Application of parts made of ABS/PC in automobile building helps to prolong the service life of junctions experiencing the heavy loads as well as to improve exterior and interior design of cars.

Plastik JSC (www.plastic-uzl.ru) is a chemical complex for synthesis of polymers and refinery with its own energy-supply system. The enterprise is the only ABS manufacturer in Russia and the major player in this market. Plastik manufactures styrene, phenolic resin, parts for automobile-building and machine-building industries as well as consumer products.

The company is located 200 km away from Moscow, at a major railroad and is 4 km away from the “Moscow – Don” motor highway which facilitates and reduces the transportation costs for its consumers and suppliers.
