Chloromethanes in the CIS: Production and Market

Today the market of chloromethanes in Russia/CIS has a tough period. Methyl chloride and carbon tetrachloride consumption has been limited due to some environmental aspects. In addition, methylene chloride is produced less and less every year, in spite of the fact that this is Russia's traditional export product. However, in better situation is chloroform production, as HaloPolymer is a reliable customer.

Thereby, this situation will keep unchanged until they found a new worthy replacement of freons (#3, 2013 (75)).
