Fluorinated Thermoplastics: the CIS Market in Outline

     Fluoropolymers are regarded as unusual compounds. They are not found in nature, and their discovery was accidental. Due to their unique properties, fluoropolymers have turned out to be extremely helpful in a variety of spheres that impose the strictest requirements on the materials applied. The products are chiefly consumed by the nuclear and chemical industries, aerospace, electronics and electrical engineering as well as machine building, construction and medicine. Today, fluorine-containing polymers account for less than 0.01% of the world plastics output. However, their rate of consumption has been experiencing a steady growth worldwide.  
     In 2007, CIS fluorinated thermoplastics accounted for 9% of the world output. The CIS fluoropolymer market is distinguished by the fact that almost all products are manufactured by one company – HaloPolymer JSC (Russia). This article provides detailed info on the Russian fluoropolymer giant and its product portfolio.
