With the official opening of its GBK-200 facility in Nizhnekamsk, within Russia’s Tatarstan region, Nizhnekamskneftekhim has completed an upgrade of its halobutyl rubber (HBR) production capabilities that increase annual capacity by a third, to 200,000 tonnes. The Sibur Holding subsidiary thus has the world’s largest capacity for halobutyl rubber, and Sibur now accounts for a quarter of global butyl and halobutyl rubber production.
