Aniline as a Raw Material for Dyes and Polymers: the Overview of the Russian Market

     Aniline is a chemical used as a raw material for manufacturing artificial dyes, plastics and other compounds. Among the CIS countries only Russia has capacities for aniline estimated at 90,000 tonnes. The following enterprises produce the compound: Volga Orgsintez JSC (Volgograd region); Khimprom JSC (Novocheboksarsk, Chuvash Republic); spanand Beraton JSC (Berezniki, Perm region). The lack of raw materials and small sales market hinder further development of the aniline production in Russia. The most promising opportunity would be to integrate the whole cycle of the aniline production from the manufacturing of raw materials to ready-to-use products within the frames of a single holding. The current state of the Russian aniline industry and the consumption of this material in the country is analysed in the given article.
