Every year, the company will produce up to 1,500 metric tons of Rhenogran
rubber additives and around 500 metric tons of Rhenodiv release agents at the
new plant in Lipezk. These products are used primarily in the manufacture of car
tires and technical rubber products such as hoses and seals. In 2016, a facility
able to produce up to 80,000 Rhenoshape bladders annually is to be added to the
complex. Bladders are used in the tire industry to give tires their
ultimate form and properties.
