General construction work at the Titan-Polymer, LLC site is 80% complete as the AO GC Titan reports.

“2021 was quite a busy year. We are working faster. Engineering networks are underway at the moment and the production workshop is almost finished. The workers are setting up the equipment. I think we will continue to work the same way and start the plant up in 2022,” General Director of the plant Herman Petrushko said.

Earlier it was planned that the first phase (the plant for the production of biaxial-oriented PET films) would be launched in 2021.
 
Head of the plant noted that general construction work was 80% complete and 75-80% of the equipment was assembled, 75% of the infrastructure was ready. Today, more than 7.5 billion rubles have already been invested in the construction of the plant.

Increase in prices for metal products, electric products and related works has noticeably affected construction dynamics.

BOPET-films production capacity will be about 72 thousand tons per year. Polyethylene terephthalate production capacity will be about 210 thousand per year.  At the first stage the production of 35 thousand tons of film will be launched. At the second stage another film production line will be launched. PET pellets can be recycled into polyester fiber, woven and nonwoven materials, food and non-food films, and plastic sheets for further thermoforming. BOPET film is designed for the manufacture of flexible packaging.
