Russian Manufacturer Convinced by System Concept for Producing Polyolefin Sheets

Germany-based polymeric materials machine manufacturing firm KraussMaffei Berstorff reports that LCC Polytar, a plastics processing subsidiary of Russian giant Gazprom, will install a polyolefin sheeting line at its Salavat Production Plant. The single extruder line will initially produce up to 2.5m-wide, 40mm-thick sheeting, including geosynthetics (such as for waterproofing applications). The KraussMaffei line retains the capacity to be retrofitted with multi-layer oriented coextrusion technologies too.
