  1. TPE for the future

    SIBUR’s Voronezh site to boost the output of thermoplastic elastomers. Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) are mostly used in construction, roof coating production, road works and other industries. To meet their demand, SIBUR plans to boost the output of TPE at its Voronezh site by 50 ktpa (from 85 to 135 ktpa). The project has already been approved ...

  2. Innovations and bitumen

    SIBUR tests a new cooperation model as its Voronezh site welcomes a joint R&D to R&D session with Rosneft Bitumen. Elastomers R&D Centre has hosted an R&D to R&D training session with Rosneft Bitumen, a key TPE consumer in the road industry. The event was mostly aimed at sharing knowledge on production and use of TPE and TPE-based polymer-bitumen binders (PBBs). The idea of running a joint session to exchange experience dates back to April, when ...

  3. SBS polymers: high potential

    ... are close to those of rubber, while at higher temperatures, starting from 120о C they soften like plastic. Products that have SBS polymers among components are flexible and resistant to cold, which makes them indispensable in cold climates. One of TPE’s key application areas is the production of polymer-bitumen binders (PBBs), which are part of the road pavement’s top layer. This segment successfully contributes to Russia’s import substitution strategy: most of the production is domestic....

  4. Road 2018

    ... SIBUR had a stand at the event showcasing its products, most prominently – styrene-butadiene thermoplastic elastomers (SBS polymers), which are used in production of polymer-bitumen binders that improve road pavement quality. Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) increase the time between repairs from 3–4 to 7–10 years by enhancing durability of pavement and its resistance to temperature stress and water exposure. Rustam Minnikhanov, President of the Republic of Tatarstan, Igor Levitin, Aide to the President ...

  5. Development trends

    ... largest and one of the world’s leading projects, to be completed next year, will not only significantly boost monomer and polymer production, but also provide additional butadiene feedstock for SBS and rubbers facilities. “This will allow the TPE-50 facility built in Voronezh in 2013 to expand its capacity and double the SBS production volume to 100 ktpa,” the executive explained. “Respectively, consumers of our products can create their investment plans and make suggestions on the ...
