The Khazar chemical plant (Balkan region, Turkmenistan) almost
doubled the production of high-quality carbon black, Trend reports
with reference to the Neutral Turkmenistan newspaper.
At the end of last year, the plant exported about 2,000 tons of
carbon black. Its main consumers were companies in the US, Russia,
Scotland, Uzbekistan and other countries.
The carbon black K-354 produced at the plant on an industrial
scale is widely used as a reinforcing filler in the manufacture of
rubber products.
In addition, it is applied as a retarder for plastics, as well
as a component that provides this material with antistatic and
electrically conductive properties, as well as with the ability to
absorb ultraviolet radiation.
The Turkmen chemical industry is one of the fastest growing
sectors of the national economy with huge resource potential.
Turkmenistan is developing a large-scale project for the
creation of major gas chemistry and petrochemical industries in the
next ten years. Developments on the utilization of associated
petroleum gas and the production of liquefied natural gas,
synthetic liquids and electricity from it are also of particular
importance.
