The state strategy for the development of the chemical and petrochemical complex mandates a course toward technical re-equipment and modernization, the creation of new production facilities, innovation activity, and securing resource and raw-material supplies, while restricting the import of chemical products and production components for strategic industrial sectors, but supporting initiatives.
The second conference and exhibition on low- and medium-tonnage projects "
MULTI-TONNAGE CHEMISTRY 2026" will consider the production of industrial and specialty chemicals and innovative materials:
- Crop protection chemicals: pesticides, herbicides
- Oilfield reagents: corrosion inhibitors, demulsifiers
- Resins: epoxy, polyester
- Catalysts and inhibitors: for petrochemicals, polymers
- Surfactants
- Chemical reagents and solvents: propylene glycol, ethanol, methanol, acetone
- Pigments
- Water treatment substances: coagulants, flocculants
- Textile chemicals: simple polyesters, hydrogen peroxide, sodium hydroxide
- Specialty plastics and rubbers: terephthalic acid, fiber-grade polyethylene terephthalate, polyphenylene sulfide, polyamides
- Cosmetic ingredients: ethanolamines, ethylenamines, organic peroxides
- Fuel and lubricant additives: antioxidants, friction modifiers
- Adhesives and sealants (industrial, construction)
- Disinfectants: antiseptics, sterilizers
- Food additives: citric and lactic acids, xanthan, gluten, etc.
The event’s
goal is to achieve technological sovereignty and sustainable development of the chemical industry through the development of practical solutions and joint projects.
Concept: the more complex the chemical compound, the more profitable its production.
Challenges: transition to a green economy, lack of domestic funding, high cost of capital given the asset-intensive nature of the sector, entering international markets, and "gaps" in production chains.
The conference will be attended by representatives from the chemical, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, food, and construction industries; manufacturers and owners of small and medium production sites; engineering companies; equipment suppliers; research institutes; educational institutions; professional associations; and representatives of government and regulatory bodies.
The special theme for 2026 is WATER FOR ALL 2026.
