Release of antiseptics has established more than 70 Russian companies

By mid-April production of skin antiseptics in Russia has increased 6 times, according to the Ministry of industry and trade of the Russian Federation. Significantly increased the number of manufacturers of such products for the domestic market. Physicians and ordinary people essential antiseptic on the basis of isopropyl and ethyl alcohol. Many companies that have not previously worked in this sector, began to produce similar products. Through the industrial development Fund for its producers provide soft loans at the rate of one percent per annum. Along with this, the CPS is working to allow you to cut for the producers of the procedural costs, including the registration of new antiseptic.

As noted by the Chairman of the Board Russian perfumery-cosmetic Association Tatyana Puchkova, just over a month from the hard deficit failed to reach a situation when antiseptics began to produce more than 70 Russian companies.

According to the Ministry of industry and trade has already been produced 304 thousand liters per day, or about 3 million pieces of products per pack, 100 ml, – said Tatiana Puchkova.

the Expert says: enterprises, whose production of antiseptics was already established and expanded their capacity and the company producing alcoholic perfumes, refocused its product lines.

– What is a skin antiseptic that can be used during a pandemic COVID-19? According to the recommendations of the who and the instructions of Rospotrebnadzor, are liquids, lotions, gels, wet tissues, having in its composition at least 70 percent ethyl alcohol by weight, or not less than 60 percent of isopropyl alcohol by mass, and which is registered as a disinfectant or perfume and cosmetics, – says Tatyana Puchkova.

the Process of ensuring raw materials of the enterprises of the cosmetic industry coordinated by the Department of chemical industry of Ministry of industry and trade. CCA, which includes most of these enterprises are actively involved in this work. Due to legal restrictions, only a few companies in Russia can produce the disinfectant products based on ethanol, explains Tatyana Puchkova. So there was a problem with the supply of isopropanol – today it is produced only two Russian companies. To solve already abolished import duty on isopropanol and Russian suppliers ECE forbidden to sell it for export. Central solve the problem of providing manufacturers the necessary plastic packaging, in particular, abolished the import duty on packing for skin antiseptic.

the production of raw materials for antiseptics actively started the domestic chemical industry. According to the Russian Union of chemists, the structure of potential productionintroduction antiseptics can note two main parameters: the most convenient way to organize production on the grounds of the perfumery and cosmetic industry, however, the maximum amount of raw material in a short time and at very affordable price I can only give the industrial production of gas and petrochemical industries. And it is already at the state level it is necessary to make clear plans for the production of disinfectants and also to work out how to use the running in period of the pandemic line in the future.

– the Most impressive potential in the manufacture of antiseptics have our petrochemical and gas chemical enterprises – says the first Vice-President of Russian chemists Union Maria Ivanova. In Chuvashia, for example, a large manufacturer of “Khimprom” in the classic product portfolio includes a range of antiseptic products is isopropyl alcohol, and hydrogen peroxide, liquid chlorine and hypochlorites of sodium and calcium.

the Expert gives other examples: the production of antiseptic products from the beginning of April specialists three production sites Novocherkassk plant fibrous materials (included in GC “Titan”). In Novocherkassk developed the recipe and produced a concentrate for future products, and in the Tula and Nizhny Novgorod division of NZSM running packaging lines – based on lines, which are bottled alcohol-containing fluids, windshield washing fluid. Peak demand falls on a cold season, so the spring was able to start producing a new product. Capacities allow to produce up to 800 tons of antiseptic products on a monthly basis. Great potential also possess the petrochemical enterprises of Tatarstan, where the situation with providing the population of the Republic of antiseptic took under personal control the head of the Republic Rustam Minnikhanov.

Certified antiseptics for hands are produced even today in Kogalym, at its own oil company plant chemicals. Another oil company has launched production of antiseptics on the basis of production capacity of lubricants in the Moscow region and Nizhny Novgorod. Maria Ivanova notes that it is also impossible to disregard the potential for production of ethanol and isopropanolamine antiseptics on the basis of products of processing of natural gas.
