Epichlorohydrin plant construction
There is no self-producing production of epilechlorohydrin in Russia. At the same time, the domestic demand of countries is several hundred thousand tons per year. Almost all epoxy resins and cheese for their production - epichlorohydrin - were imported from Europe and China to Russia. The epoxy resin market in Russia is estimated at about 75,000 tons per year.
The total volume of epichlorohydrin imported into the Russian market has approached the figure of $0.7 million.
According to a study of the Russian Epichlorohydrin Market: a study and forecast before 2025, prepared by the ROIF Expert Marketing Agency in 2021, the total value of imported epychlorhydrine purchases by domestic consumers shows an increase of almost 77%. Global consumption of epichlorohydrin is expected to increase by an average of 4 per cent per year, resulting in increased commodity costs.
Thus, with the commencement of its own production of glycerin-based epichlorohydrin, Russian oil-chemical production will be able to completely phase out imports and produce all necessary products from its own raw materials.
The end products will be epoxy resin, epichlorohydrine and other chlorine-based chemicals.
Epoxy connectors are used for protective coatings, structural plastics, glues of different use and glazing.
