MOSCOW (MRC) - TechnoNICOL, Europe's largest manufacturer and supplier of roofing, waterproofing and thermal insulation materials, plans to install two new extrusion lines in Poland and Russia, the company said in a statement.
The Italian company BG Plast (Italy) signed a contract with TechnoNICOL for the supply of two extrusion lines for the production of dimpled sheet membranes with and without a geotextile joint, 2000 mm and 4000 mm wide.
The lines will have a capacity of 600 and 1500 kg / h with extruders with diameters of 120 mm and 160 mm, respectively, and will be located at two strategic plants of the group - one in Russia and a new plant in Poland, where the installation of the line was completed.
Earlier it was reported that TechnoNICOL launched the first line in Russia for the production of geocomposite polymer membranes for underground insulation on the basis of the Logikruf plant (Ryazan). This line will produce PVC membranes for tunnels and underground structures and geocomposite based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) up to 6 mm thick for insulation of hydraulic structures. The capacity of the line will be 5 million m2 of finished products per year. The company allocated over 450 million rubles for the project.
According to MRC's ScanPlast, in May the total production of unmixed PVC in Russia amounted to 86.1 thousand tons versus 86.6 thousand tons a month earlier, RusVinyl reduced the capacity utilization level. The total volume of polymer production in January - May 2021 amounted to 432.1 thousand tons, which corresponds to the indicator a year earlier. A decrease in production volumes was recorded for two manufacturers; it was possible to increase the production of resin from the Bashkir Soda Company and "Kaustik" (Volgograd).
