Tomskneftekhim LLC is a subsidiary of SIBUR and one of the largest Russian producers of polymers — polypropylene and high-pressure polyethylene. Tomskneftekhim is Russia’s leading producer of titanium-magnesium catalyst, which exceeds the performance of the catalyst systems traditionally used in the production of polypropylene on a number of parameters.

The capacities of the business include the production of monomers — ethylene and propylene, with an installed capacity of 300,000 and 150,000 tonnes per year, respectively, which provides all the raw materials for the production of polymers. The Company produces polypropylene (with a capacity greater than 115,000 tonnes per year), low density polyethylene (with a capacity greater than 240,000 tonnes per year), as well as a facility for the production of formalin and carbamide resins.

Tomskneftekhim’s industrial infrastructure includes a modern facility, a loading/unloading complex designed for use with large-capacity containers, and a system for the palletting of raw materials and finished products. Transportation of raw materials and the business’s finished products is provided by its rail and road transport fleet. Tomskneftekhim includes a mechanical repair complex, which allows for the full production cycle of repair work including the reception of materials, and the manufacture of spare parts up to their subsequent use in the repair of production equipment. Also based at the company is a research and design centre, whose activities include the development of new products, the improving of manufacturing processes and participation in the development of future programmes for the Company.

In SIBUR’s corporate structure Tomskneftekhim is part of the Directorate of Plastics and Organic Synthesis, headed by Vice President Sergei Merzlyakov.

Tomskneftekhim’s main activity is the processing of NGL with a high content of ethane, and the production of polymers. Raw materials are supplied by pipeline from SIBUR’s Yuzhny Balyksky gas processing complex. NGL enters the pyrolysis facility for the manufacture of monomers — ethylene and propylene, which are then used in Tomskneftekhim’s polymer production. The end products are supplied to the domestic and export markets. Deliveries of polypropylene are also made to Orton — a SIBUR Company in Kemerovo, which produces the geosynthetic material Kanvalan.

Tomskneftekhim’s range of products made from polypropylene includes over 60 brands, including composite materials based on polypropylene and its copolymer with ethylene. The list of finished goods produced from low-density polyethylene contains over 25 product names and compositions based on it. The by-products of production (butylene-butadiene fraction?, the fraction? of liquid pyrolysis products, and heavy pyrolysis resin) are used in the production of synthetic rubber, aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene) and carbon black.
