MOSCOW (MRC) -- Despite increased volumes of PET production in 2010 in
Russia, the market remains dependent on import supplies of the material
which made 11.2 KT in January, according to MRC
DataScope. By the end of 2010 the three Russian PET producers
increased their production up to 312 KT. Among them 137 KT of PET was produced
by POLIEF, 98,3 KT – by Plant of new polymers "SENEG", and 76,7 KT – by
Sibur-PETF. Overall imports of primary PET exceeded 260 KT last year.
In January changes in the structure of supplies by countries were marked.
The level of December imports was preserved by the companies from South Korea
(KP Chemical, Tongkook, SK Chemical). PET purchases from the Chinese companies
(Jiangsu Sanfangxiang, China Resources Chemicals, Sinopec, Shanghai Hengyi
Polyester) reduced almost twice, and there were only few supplies from
Lithuania.
Launch of new capacities in Kaliningrad region will soon reduce the
dependence of the Russian market on imports. As we reported earlier, in the
second half of February a new Alco-Nafta plant was launched on the basis of
Mariyskiy oil refinery with total capacity of 220 KTa. While the enterprise is
debugging its technological process, the loading of capacities makes
only 60% or 140 KTa.
