A Review of the Global Polyimide Market

Polyimides (PIs) is a group of high performance polymers with excellent thermal, mechanical, and physi-cal properties. Owing to their outstanding characteristics, they are useful over a wide range of applications including the production of printed circuit boards, fasteners, and chemically resistant products. Polyimides take an especial position in the development of innovative technologies, where light-weight materials with high strength, flexibility, inertness, and a broad range of working temperatures are required.

DuPonts baby

The first information about the synthe-sis of aromatic polyimides dates back to

1908. A big contribution to the develop-ment and introduction of polyimides was

made by DuPont, which brought to market

Kapton H films, Vespel moulded parts,

and Pyre-ML insulating varnish. To obtain

its first Kapton polyimides, the company

employed pyromellitic anhydride (PMDA)

and 4,4-oxydianiline (ODA). Figure 1 shows a diagram of the condensation of

these chemical products.

The process developed by DuPont

includes two stages: firstly, polyamic

acid is synthesised and secondly, the

acid undergoes imidization. Dianhydride

and diamine are used as mother sub-stances (Table 1). The condensation is

carried out at low and medium tem-peratures in a polar, aprotic solvent, for

instance, in N,N-dimethylformamide,

N,N-dimethylacetmide or in N-methyl- pyrrolidone.

The process involving the obtaining of the

soluble prepolymer has been for more than

fifty years the main technology of polyimide

production. The point is that most polyimides

are insoluble and high melting due to their

flat aromatic and heteroatomic structure.

Therefore, their processing into some articles

can only be possible provided that they are

solved in polyamic acid. The use of the solv-ing route allowed for commercial production

of polyimides.

The intermediate polyamic acid is con-verted to polyimide by thermal or chemical

imidization. Thermal imidization is con-ducted at 100350 C basically for manufac-turing PI films, while chemical imidization is

used for producing moulded goods as well as

films and fibres. At that point, aliphatic car-boxylic acid anhydride and tertiary amine are

added to polyamic acid. The typical auxilliary

chemical reagents for this process are acetic

anhydride, pyridine and triethylamine. At the

final stage of the chemical imidization, the

polymer is shortly heated up to around 300

C so as to reach a higher conversion degree

and to remove the remains of the solvent.

The chemical imidization excludes a counter

reaction, thus allowing for obtaining polyim-ides with higher and more stable mechanical

properties (Table 2). However, due to the usage of additional reagents, the final product

is more expensive. Leading global producers

of polyimide films use namely this chemical

process of imidization, whereas the Chinese

producers - the thermal route. As a result, the

products of the first have an integral proce-dural decomposition temperature of 200240

C and polyimides of the second only about

130 C.

Apart from the two-stage method there

is also a one-stage route for producing

polyimide used for polyimides soluble in

organic solvents at a polymerisation tem-perature of (180220 C). Nitrobenzene,

m-cresol, and high-boiling polar aprotonic

amide solvents are used as solvents. The

high temperature solving polymerisation

occurred in the presence of such catalysts

as quinoline, tertiary amines and carboxy-lates of alkali metals or zinc. This method

is especially efficient for polymerising

dianhydrides and diamines with low reac-tivity and enables one to produce high

crystallinity polyimides.

Using bis-ester anhydride as a dianhydride

component, polyesterimides - amorphous

thermoplastic polymers are produced,

which can further be processed by injection

moulding methods. Shrinking polyimide

resins are obtained by adding low molecular

maleimide, acetylene, benzene dicarbinol

(benzocyclobutene) groups. These resins

find application in the impregnation of textile

fibres and in composites production.

A polymer basis of electronics

To synthesise polyimides, a broad set of

monomers are employed as well as various

methods. Therefore, properties of polymers

may vary within a wide range.

Polyimidies possess exclusively high ther-mal resistance. They begin decomposing only

at temperatures higher than 450 C. At the

same time, polyimides are resistant to oxida-tion, moisture, acids, alkalies, solutions of

salts, organic solvents and specialised liquids

even at increased temperatures. However,

polyimides that contain fragments of PMDA

and monoaromatic amines, e.g. pDA, have

lower resistance to hydrolysis.

Good dielectric properties of polyim-ides determine their wide application in

the electronic industry as dielectrics, flex-ible substrates and wire insulation. Fluoride-

containing polyimides possess the best

dielectric properties.

Outstanding properties are conditioned by

a structure of a polymer chain and intermo-lecular interactions. Molecules of polyimide

have rigid aromatic chains. There are two

types of interactions between polyimide

chains: firstly, between aromatic rings of

fragments of dianhydride and diamine form-ing a complex with charge transfer and sec-ondly, between dipoles of carbonyl groups

of the dianhydride fragment (in this case the

polymer is nonpolar as a whole).

Most polyimides are produced in the form

of films. Polyimide films have high mechani-cal properties. Their relative elongation at

break amounts to 30120%, tensile strength

170270 MP, and modulus of elasticity

no more than 3 GPa. Breakdown voltage

of polyimide film with a thickness of 1mcm

is no more than 200 V. Besides, these films

possess high radiation resistance. Polyimide

films are coated with acrylic and organosili-con compounds for manufacturing self-adhe-sive tapes. Also, an adhesive layer is applied

to them in order to glue copper foil (on one

or two sides). Such films are further supplied

to manufacturers of printed circuit boards

for producing flexible circuits and cable

connections. When an extremely thin layer

of copper (less than 12 mcm) is required or

the presence of adhesives is undesirable, the

copper is applied to polyimide film either by

evaporation deposition or by coating copper

foil with polyimide varnish followed by its

hardening. The films with reflective coatings

are obtained by adding organic silver salts,

e.g., complex acetates, to a polyamic acid

solution. While imidizing, it occurs silver

reduction. Silver further migrates to the sur-face of the film forming a reflective coating.

For many years, poyimides have been used

in electrical engineering and the aerospace

industry for insulating special purpose wires.

In the aerospace industry, they are used as

protective coating for solar cells and other

important equipment.

Also, microporous membranes, thin wall

tubes, fibres, foam materials are made from

them. Polyimide tubes are manufactured

by layer-by-layer application to the surface

of a metal mandrel, which is subsequently

retracted.

Such tubes find aplication gas chromotog-raphy as chromatographic columns as well

as in medicine in the capacity of catheters.

Polyimide fibres production is notable for a

number of technical complexities. Therefore,

not many companies make these products.

Having excellent properties including a high

stretch degree, PI fibres, nevertheless, cannot

compete with aramid and other hi-tech fibres

due to high manufacturing costs. These fibres

are mainly used for producing industrial filter

bags and protective clothing.

PI membranes are widely used for sepa-rating gases. Pure polyimide membranes

have, as a rule, low gas permeability. For this

reason, they are modified with various alkyl

and fluoroalkyl substitutes.

Films

Currently, the production of flexible

printed circuits accounts for 70% of PI con-sumption worldwide. Due to specific require-ments of the final market and their properties,

polyimides are mostly produced in the form

of films. At present, global polyimide film

capacity totals 13,000 tonnes. Top three pro-ducers have at their disposal about two thirds

of worlds capacity including Kaneka 24%,

DuPont-Toray 22% and SKC Kolon PI

21% (Figure 2).Kaneka produces polyimide films under

the brand Apical at three production plants in

Japan, the USA, and Malaysia. The company

has been present in the market since 1984,

when it put into operation its first manufac-turing line for Apical films in Shiga prefec-ture (Japan). Today it operates seven lines

with a total capacity of 2,400 tpy. In North

America, Kaneka began manufacturing poly-imide films at a 200 tpy production line in

the industrial park of Bayport (TX, USA)

within the frames of a JV with Allied in 1990.

Kaneka Texas Corporation, a daughter com-pany of Kaneka, operates the line. Last year

the company completed the construction of

its third plant in Gebeng (Pakhang, Malaysia)

operated by the companys fully-owned

subsidiary Kaneka Apical Malaysia. The

launch of the Malaysian facility increased

Kanekas total capacity for polyimide films

by 600 tonnes, to 3,200 tpy. By 2016, Kaneka

will invest USD 100m in further capacity

expansion.

US-based DuPont became a pioneer

in the polyimide market setting industry

standards for a long period of time. It

started commercial production of Kapton

films in 1966. Since 1985, DuPont-Toray,

a JV between DuPont and Toray, has been

responsible for polyimide business. The

JV is completely owned by the American

chemical giant. DuPont-Toray expanded

the plant in Tokai City (Aichi prefecture)

by 720 tpy in 2007 and that in Circleville

(OH, USA) by 400 tpy in late 2012. As a

result, the company boosted its total capac-ity up to 2,920 tonnes.

Space flight of polyimidesOwing to their properties, polyimides

are ideal materials for creating different

elements of spacecraft. Foam polyimides

found application in the Space Shuttle

programme as heat insulation and sound

insulation. They were used for protecting

propelling and steering control engines

of Mars rovers. Moreover, flexible printed circuits and plate heaters in the Mars rov-

ers were made of polyimide films. In May 2010, the JAXA (Japan Aerospace Explo-

ration Agency) launched IKAROS the

worlds first spacecraft propelled by solar power sails made on the basis of square polyimide film with a 7.5 mcm thickness and a 200 m2 total area.

Figure 2. Breakdown of global polyimide film capacity by company

as of early 2014



SKC Kolon PI is a JV established in 2008

on the basis of polyimide assets of Korea-

based companies SK Chemical Kolon

Industries. SK Chemical was the first in

Korea to manufacture polyimides. In 2004,

it launched a 40 tpy pilot production line at

its manufacturing site in Suvon. The com-mercial production of polyimide films began

at a 300 tpy unit in Chinchkhon. In 2008, the

second 600 tpy line became operational in

Chinchkhon. Kolon Industries started poly-imide production in 2005. By the moment of

the merger, it operates two production lines

in Kumi with a total capacity of 600 tpy. In

2012, SKC Kolon PI almost doubled its pro-

duction capacity, from 1,500 tonnes to 2,700

tonnes.

China is home to one fourth of worlds pol-yimide film capacity. There are ten producers

with 3,000 tpy overall capacity in the country

(Table 3). Moreover, the moment when China will become the main player on the polyimide

market is not too far away. In late 2012, Amer

International Group and Genhwa proceeded

to building a large-scale polyimide complex

in Yingkou (Liaoning province). The first

stage of the project envisages the construc-tion of a 11,000 polyimide monomer unit, a

30,000 tpy polyimide and multilayer coextru-sion film plant, and a 30,000 tpy composites

unit. At the second stage, there will come on

stream a 40,000 tpy polyimide monomer and

fine organic chemicals plant, a 35,000 tpy

polyimide and multilayer coextrusion film

unit, and 5,000 tpy polyimide fibres produc-tion. The second stage will be completed in

2017.

Other polyimide manufacturers account for

9% or 1,000 tpy of total global capacity. This

group includes Saint-Gobain Performance

Plastics producing Norton films in Xinzhu

(Taiwan); IST Corporation, which puchased

polyimide businesses Pyre-ML from

DuPont (Parlin, NJ) and Skybond from

Monsanto (Indian Ochard, Springfield, MA);

Japanese companies Ube Industries (Ube,

Yamaguchi prefecture and Sakai, Osaka

prefecture) and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical

(Hiratsuka, Kanagawa) producing Upilex

and Neopulim films respectively.

Fibres

In the early 80s of the 20th century, Lenzing,

a leading producer of viscose fibre, began

developing a new kind of fibre for protective

clothing. Polyimide was selected as a polymer

base. The company obtained a licence for a

polycondensation process from Upjohn (Dow

Chemical), whereas a thread drawing technol-ogy was developed by Lenzing on its own.

As a result, new polyimide product P84 was

launched onto the market.

In 1996, Lenzing AG sold its business to

Inspec Fibres GmbH (Evonik Fibres GmbH,

part of Evonik). Today, Inspec Fibres is vir-tually the only large producer of polyimide

fibres. In small quantities, however, polyim-ide fibres are manufactured by Hipolyking

Polyimide Materials (Yilun fibre, China), and

Russia-based Lirsot Ltd (Arimid, Pion, and

Tvim brands).

Because of increased demand for its prod-ucts, Inspec Fibres expanded its capacity

by 35% in 2006 and by 40%, to 1,400 tpy in

2009. Except for the fibres, the company pro-duces powdered polyimides for manufacturing

moulded goods and actively develop a poly-imide film production technology. Polyimide

fibres are predominantly used in the produc-tion of high temperature filter systems for

metallurgical works, cement plants, and other

industrial facilities. These fibres have irregular

cross-sectional shapes consequently possess-ing twice as much surface area as compared to

traditional fibres with round or elliptical cross-

sections. Therefore, polyimide fibres display

the best filtering capacity. This advantage is

complemented with high thermal and chemical

resistance over a wide range. These fibres

are used as an additive enhancing filtering

capacity and increasing service life of filter fab-ric in industrial filters both on their own or in

combination with various polyester fibres and

glass fibres.

The second most significant application

of polyimide fibres is the manufacture of

protective clothing for racing drivers, fire

brigades and military units. It is to be noted

that usually polyimide fibres are not used in

a pure form but are mixed with aramid and

fire-resistant viscose fibres.

Foam polyimides

Polyimide foam was first synthesised in

the 1970s by Evonik Foams for NASAs

space programmes. The latter required non-combustible, light-weight foam material for

heat and sound insulation of Space Shuttles.

Later polyimide foam was utilised in space-crafts of other countries, in the International

Space Station, Mars rovers, and cryogenic

vessels. Polyimide foam remains its elasticity

even at extremely low temperatures, which is

of paramount importance for operations on

the surface of Mars.

In addition to spacecraft, polyimide foam is

used in military and civil shipbuilding and the

aircraft industry. Owing to this foam, the weight

of some U.S. Navy cruisers was decreased by

50 tonnes, and that of Boeing 747 by 160

kg. Reducing weight even by several dozen

kilograms of such massive and heavy objects

as airplanes seem to be insignificant at first

glance. However, this allows for transporting

more cargo and substantially improves fuel

economy, which is especially important tak-ing into account a long service period. Due to

high prices, polyimides find application only in

demanding environments. The main producer

is Evonic Foams manufacturing polyimide

foam under the trade mark Solimide at its plant

in Magnolia (AK, USA). Its product range

includes four polyimide grades:

TA-301 (for industrial applications

including insulation of rail cars, ships, and

mining equipment;

AC-550 and AC-530 (for aircraft and

spacecraft industries and cryogenic materials

production);

HT-340 (for using in heat resistant mate-rials including insulation of pipes, air ducts,

furnaces, and water heaters;

Apart from Evonik Foams, polyimide foam

is manufactured by DuPont (Vespel), Ube

Industries (Upilex Foam) IST Corporation

(Skybond).

Resins and other products

Polyimide resins are made in small vol-umes because of processing complexities.

Powdered polyimide is one of the main

forms of polyimide products. Ube Industries,

Inspec Fibres, Qinyang Tianyi Chemical,

Hipolyking Polyimide Materials, and

Shuangma New Materials Tech Polyimide

are producers of polyimide powder.

In addition, polyimides are processed into

round bars, slabs, sheets, tubes, and other

ready-to-use, customizsed products. We

should mention the following companies

in this market niche: DuPont-Toray, IST

Corporation, Saint-Gobain Performance

Plastics, Hipolyking Polyimide Materials,

and Shanghai Research Institute of Synthetic

Resins. Polyimides varnishes solvents of

polyamic acid - are also available on the mar-ket. They are used for producing composites

and adhesives. The most popular and wide-spread brands among them are Pyralin (HD

MicroSystems), U-Varnish (Ube Industries),

Pyre-ML and Skybond (IST Corporation).

Prospects

Polyimides are quite widely used products

owing to their outstanding properties. They

can meet strictest requirements of customers.

Flexible circuits are the biggest and most fast-

growing application field of polyimide films.

According to Kaneka, annual growth rates

in this market make up 20-30%. Demand

for special purpose products made of poly-imide films including bar code labels, voice

coils, helically coiled tubes, gaskets, and

diaphragms, thermal blankets, insulation of

particle accelerators, conveyor belts, sensors,

etc., increases 10% yearly. Polyimide con-sumption in the production of self-adhesive

tapes grow 5% and in mechanical engineer-ing, and the cable and automotive industries

by 2% per year. SMP Corporation (a pro-ducer of polyimide films, in particular, SKC

Kolon PI films) forecasts that the capacity of

the global polyimide film market will go up

from 7,000 tpy in 2010 to 10,000 tpy in 2015,

with the biggest growth rates in electronics

engineering and display production. In geo-graphical terms, China and Korea will be

the most rapid-growing polyimide markets

expanding by more than 15% annually.



The CIS market for plastic and rubber

products stands for solid business and posi-tive prospects. Despite the dampening effect

of political vagaries and the current weak-ness of the rouble on the demand for plastic

and rubber products, the country still has a

significant need for investment. Production

capacities are being modernised and

expanded, particularly in the packaging and

medical technology segment. The consumer

goods and automotive segments are growing

steadily, and the infrastructure of the largest

European country with a population of 143m

is facing major challenges. In this situation,

innovative solutions for all areas of the plas-tics and rubber processing industry are very

much in demand, particularly because issues

such as energy efficiency and recycling are

becoming increasingly important.

Accordingly, exhibitors at Interplastica

2014 gave a predominantly positive feedback

on the four-day international trade fair for

plastics and rubber. They reported a keen

interest among specialist visitors, promis-ing customer contacts and several signed

contracts. Between 28 and 31 January 2014,

20,000 visitors from all members of the CIS

attended Interplastica and the packaging fair

Upakovka/Upak Italia, both of which took

place at the same time in Moscow. This result

ties in with the one achieved by both trade

fairs in the previous year.

Erhard Wienkamp, Division Director of

Messe Dsseldorf, was delighted with this posi-tive result: Thanks to its representative inter-national portfolio, Interplastica is perceived and

valued as an outstanding platform for techno-logical innovation in Russia. This positive feed-back and the fact that there was even a slight

increase in the demand for exhibition space

- only a few weeks after the flagship fair

K 2013 - underlines the importance of this

event. The companies know how important

their market presence is. Even in turbulent

times, they rely on Interplastica to present

their innovations to customers from the CIS

market, to maintain their customer contacts

and to initiate new relations. Introducing

a clearer structure to the fair, the new hall

distribution elicited predominantly positive

feedback from visitors and exhibitors.

Interplastica 2014: Solid Business and Good Prospects for Russias Plastics and Rubber Industry

Victor Nemera, Atlant CJSC,

Baranovichi/Belarus: We participate

regularly in Interplastica, know what

we want and usually get it. It satis-

fies our expectations. Its important to note that this year there are more

professional visitors than in previous

years. Its obviously very good.

Maxim Grishin, Country Repre-

sentative A/O Bayer Polycarbonates,

Moscow/Russia: At Interplastica

2014 we basically met with our old,

established partners. This exhibition

is well known in the plastic and rub-

ber industry and every year we meet

with lots of customers and get in

contact with new customers.

Alexei Stolyarov, Chief Expert, De-

partment of Advertising, Exhibition

Activities and Branding, LLC Sibur/

Sibur Holding OJSJ, Moscow/Russia:

We have long and fruitful coopera-

tion and ties with Messe Dsseldorf

Moscow. We are always satisfied by the attentive attitude and profes-

sionalism of the organisers team..

Next year we plan to expand our

stand area and to occupy the central

part of the first pavilion. We had ac-tive and large work with our clients

during Interplastica and its time to

expand and reveal.



Organised by Messe Dsseldorf and its

subsidiary Messe Dsseldorf Moskau Ltd,

the 17th Interplastica was again hosted at

Moscows trade fair grounds of Krasnya

Presnya. A total of 687 exhibitors from 28

countries presented their products and ser-vices on 13,500 sq.m net exhibition area,

the Forum as well as exhibition halls 1

and 8 and, for the first time, hall 3 were fully

booked, the latter by a cluster of extrusion

and injection moulding machinery manufac-turers. Official national participations came

from China, Germany, France, Italy, Austria

and Portugal. The largest contingencies of

exhibitors came from Russia, Germany and

China.

Germany remains to be number one among

the most important suppliers to the Russian

plastics and rubber processing industry,

exporting a total of 32.2 % to this segment,

followed by Italy (15.5 %) and China (13.9

%). In the first eleven months of 2013,

German exports in this segment amounted

to EUR 204 million, up 10,2 % on the result

posted for the same period during the previ-ous year. Between 2011 and 2012, global

exports from plastics and rubber machinery

manufacturers to Russia increased by 7.5%,

corresponding to an overall value of about

EUR 640m.

For Bernd Ntel from the German

Association for Plastics and Rubber

Machinery within the VDMA (Verband

Sebastian Schneider, Key-Account-

Manager PM Rezyklate, DKR Deutsche

Gesellschaft fr Kreislaufwirtschaft und

Rohstoffe mbH, Cologne/Germany: As

we are new to the Russian market, it

presents some challenges, one of which

is the language barrier. Also, recycled

products do not have a good reputation

in Russia, mainly because very few such

products are available in high quality. But appreciation for regrinds is growing

in the CIS states along with the inter-

est in high-quality recycled products. At Interplastica, we had some interesting

new contacts, and the prospects for

long-term business cooperations seem

positive. However, we are well aware

that this market requires a lot of pa-tience.

Dragan Visekruna, Director of the

Plastics Sales Units in Central and East-

ern Europe, Greece and Turkey, Dow

Europe GmbH, Moscow/Russia: Dow

took part with an own booth in Inter-

plastica 2014 for the first time ever. We consider that the exhibition is very suc-

cessful. The customers appreciated our

desire to participate in the exhibition

highly. Our approach is to work in co-

operation with distributors. In the previ-

ous years we joined the booths of our

partners and this year we invited them

to work on our own booth.

Robert F. Binder, Area Sales Manager,

EREMA, Ansfelden/Austria : Our equip-ment has met with a keen interest. As

a supplier of recycling systems for all

thermoplastic materials, we have been

active in Russia for sixteen years. So far,

our core business focused on in-house

recycling of waste scrap directly at the

processing companys site. Recently

however, the post-consumer market

seems to have become more active as

the population demands recycling regu-

lations. This development could open

up a major market for us! We are op-

timistic about the future development

of our business relations with the CIS

states, because we have consolidated

our position and won the trust of our

customers in that market not only be-

cause of our training programmes and

cooperation with research institutes but

also because of our tenacity.

Rauf Rustamov, Sales & Marketing

Director, Mikrosan, Gebze-Kocaeli/

Turkey: We have been exporting

pipe and profile extrusion machinery and pelletisers to Russia since 1991.

With more than 1,000 machines in-

stalled in that country, we have be-

come established as a major player in

this segment. We expect to continue

our business in Russia successfully.

The Russian economy will continue

to grow, the Olympic Games and

the World Cup 2018 will trigger fur-

ther growth. There is a lot to do and

enough money for investment, par-

ticularly in window construction, in the

infrastructure of this vast country and

in centralised heating. These projects

are supported by state funding. We

participate in Interplastica because

we want to promote our good repu-

tation, maintain our existing customer

contacts and make new ones.



Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau

- German Engineering Federation), the

Russian market remains promising, despite

the dampening effect of political vagaries

and the current weakness of the rouble on

the demand for plastic and rubber machin-ery: Negotiations drag on, some projects

are postponed. In other areas however,

there is still a great willingness to invest,

contracts that were prepared at K 2013 in

Dsseldorf for example, are now being

signed. Business is going strong in the

injection moulding and thermoforming

segments, and rubber processing machines

are in high demand. Thanks to state fund-ing, investments into plastic pipe produc-tion and into the production of insulation

material are rising. The emergence of

recycling as an important issue in Russia is

rated as a positive development. So far, this

development is still in its infancy, but there

is a growing awareness that even countries

with an abundance of natural resources

must economise.

Dr. Rdiger Baunemann, Director General

PlasticsEurope Deutschland e.V., recognises

a lot of potential in the raw material segment,

both for polymer producers as well as for

suppliers of additives such as stabilisers and

flame retardants. At Interplasticas Meeting

Point Raw Materials, Dr. Baunemanns

presentations on resource and energy effi-ciency as a driving force for innovation and

sustainability attracted a lot of attention and

met with keen interest. For the second time at

Interplastica, open seminars for exhibitors on

new developments in raw material produc-tion and application were again conducted in

cooperation with the Russian plastics portal

Plastinfo.ru.

The exhibitors were impressed with

the high level of professionalism among

Interplasticas visitors, who appeared to be

well prepared and approached the exhibitors

with practical inquiries. In turn, visitors were

delighted with the wide range of international

exhibits presented at Interplastica.

The next Interplastica will take place in

Moscow from 27 until 30 January, 2015, as

usual in tandem with Upakovka/Upak Italia.

Ulrich Reifenhuser, Managing Di-

rector Reifenhuser GmbH & Co. KG,

Troisdorf/Germany : The CIS market

continues to have a lot of potential for

the plastics processing industry. The ex-

hibition was livelier and the visitors even

more professional than expected. But

the currency problem is a real dampen-

er, particularly as the Russian mentality

seems to have a bias towards pessimism

when confronted with such problems.

Therefore, some projects will likely be

delayed.

Antonio Cappadono, General Direc-

tor Transtechnika-Vostok Representa-

tion of Arburg, Moscow/Russia : While

the Russian market is characterised by

steady ups and downs, it offers excel-

lent long-term prospects. We have been

active in this market for a long time and

have become well established reli-

ability and comprehensive service are

the key to success! For me, the current

weakness of the rouble does not con-

stitute a major problem, but an oppor-

tunity: the export of finished products such as packaging has become more

expensive, hence domestic products will

be in demand. Arburg customers from

the packaging segment are enjoying full

order books. The Russian automotive

and medical technology segments are

also experiencing an upturn, and they

are now investing in modern, efficient machinery.

Dr. Semen Chlesberg, Senior Sales

Manager, Zeppelin Systems, Frie-

drichshafen/Germany : Moving into

the CIS market requires money and patience. In the long-term however,

this commitment will bear fruit. Twelve

years ago, Zeppelin started its activi-

ties in that region, initially with one

sales agency. Only recently, we set

up our own subsidiary there, so as to

provide a localised services and spare

parts supply and support for our sales

team. As a leading global plant engi-

neering company for the handling of

high-quality bulk materials and liquids we work in a wide variety of industry

sectors, i.e. polymer producers and

processors, the rubber and tire indus-

try and plastic cable sheathing. We

also operate a separate division with a

special focus on the food segment. We

provide our customers, mainly major

corporations, with a complete service

package from the delivery of complete

lines right through to training. This

will consolidate our long-term success

even if this market is prone to ups and

downs.

Salicylic acid (C6H

4 (OH) COOH, ortho-

hydroxybenzoic acid, 2-hydroxybenzoic

acid, phenol acid) - white needle-shaped

crystals with a bitterish taste, soluble in hot

water, freely soluble in ethanol, diethyl ether

and other polar organic solvents.

Leaves and flowers of some plants are

natural sources of salicylic acid. It is known

that ancient doctors used an infusion of the

willow bark as antipyretic and analgesic

medicines. In 1829, Henri Leroux, a French

pharmacist, isolated physiologically active

glycoside salicin (from Latin salix - wil-low) from a willow bark extract. In 1838,

Raffaele Piria, an Italian chemist, hydrolysed

salicin with further oxidation. This is how

salicylic acid was obtained. It was found that

the acid had been previously obtained from

flowers of meadowsweet, or Spiraea (spirea

ulmaria) by a German chemist Carl Lwig,

who called it spiraea acid and later the sub-stance became known as salicylic acid.

The analysis showed that it was a derivative

of phenol. Subsequently, a German chemist

Adolph Hermann Kolbe proposed a method

of synthesising salicylic acid from phenol in

1860, which has been used to the present day.

Salicylic acid acts as an antiseptic. The acid

is used as a keratolytic agent when present in

high concentrations, and as a keratoplastic

substance when present in low concentrations.

The keratolytic agent breaks down the

outer layer of skin (keratin). A keratoplastic

effect is when the drug does not generate a

quick destruction and sloughing, thereby

loosening keratin.

CIS Market in Salicylic Acid and its Derivatives

Salicylic acid belongs to aromatic hydroxy acids. Its anti-inflammatory properties, as a component of the bark of the willow tree, have been known for more than 2,500 years. Currently, more than half of the produced salicylic acid is used for pharmaceutical manufacture. For example, one of its derivatives is acetylsalicylic acid or aspirin - one of the most important drug of the twentieth century.

Salicylic acid is used to treat various skin

diseases, in particular, hyperkeratosis and

excessive sweating. Taken orally, salicylic

acid may cause severe irritation of the mucous

membrane lining of the stomach. That is why

a sodium salt of salicylic acid instead of the

pure acid is often used. Salicylic acid is well

absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract exert-ing antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflamma-tory actions. The drug is rapidly excreted

from the body.

Salicylic acid and salicylates are low-toxic

and fairly well tolerated. Since salicylates

are used in large doses for rheumatism treat-ment they can cause poisoning, which easily

ceases as soon as one stops taking the drugs.

Until the 50s of the 20th century, salicylic

acid was one of the most popular food pre-servatives. It was used for preserving egg

melange, fish marinades, salted and pick-led cucumbers as well as olives and fruit.

Salicylic acid is no longer used as a food

preservative. Food applications of the acid

are banned in America, Europe and Russia.

However, salicylic acid with a concentration

of up to 0.5% can be used for preserving cos-metic products. The acid with a concentration

of up to 10% is used for keratosis (dandruff)

treatment. The manufacture of azo dyes and

odoriferous compounds (salicylic acid esters)

is one of its applications as well.

Salicylic acid is capable of forming deriva-tives in each functional group. The most

important of them are methyl salicylate and

phenyl salicylate (esters of the carboxyl

group) and acetylsalicylic acid (esters of the

hydroxyl group). P-aminosalicylic acid and

salicylamide are ne more significant deriva-tives of salicylic acid.

Acetylsalicylic acid (2-acetoxybenzoic acid; aspirin) is one of the most widely used

drugs in the world. The pure substance is a

white crystalline powder, almost odourless.

The odour of acetic acid indicates that the

substance started to hydrolyse in the air.

Acetylsalicylic acid is sparingly soluble in

water, soluble in ether and chloroform, and

freely soluble in 96% ethanol.

An ester formed by acetic and salicylic

acids or acetylsalicylic acid was first synthe-sised by Charles Gerhardt, a French chemist,

in 1853. Soon, it became known as aspirin,

from the name of meadowsweet (spirea

ulmaria). This was the first synthetic drug in

the history of medicine. In 1874, aspirin was

applied to treat acute articular rheumatism. In

1899, aspirin was patented by Bayer and has

been produced on an industrial scale since

that time. For this reason, pharmaceutical

companies in most countries has no right to

apply the trademark aspirin to their prod-ucts and use basically the chemical name

acetylsalicylic acid. Bayer has been own-ing the exclusive right to the brand aspirin in

Russia since 1992. However, the term aspi-rin became a common word in the former

Soviet Union.

John Vane was awarded the Nobel Prize

for his discovery of how acetylsalicylic acid

produces pain-relief and anti-inflammatory

effects in 1982. He found out that aspirin

blocked the synthesis of hormone-like sub-stances - prostaglandins - which are intensely

formed by microbial intoxication causing an

inflammatory reaction. Besides antipyretic

and analgesic actions aspirin prevents the

formation of blood clots and also has a vas-orelaxant action. At the same time, it irritates

the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal

tract, and its overdose can cause bleeding.

Sodium salicylate (sodium 2-hydroxyben-zoate) is a sodium salt of salicylic acid. It is a

white crystalline powder or small, odourless

flakes with a sweet and salty taste. Sodium

salicylate is easily soluble in water (1:1) and

alcohol (1:6). Sodium salicylate has analge-sic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects.

It is used in medicine as antirheumatic and

antigout agents as well as for the treatment of

febrile diseases and migraine.

Para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS, 2-oxy-4-aminobenzoic acid) has been used to treat

tuberculosis (TB) in the form of sodium

or calcium salts since the 40s of the 20th

century. PAS is an antagonist of p-amino

benzoic acid needed for normal activity of

microorganisms. However, due to relatively

low efficiency, PAS finds application only in

case of intolerance to other anti-TB drugs or

mycobacterial drug resistance. The drug has

a bacteriostatic action only against tubercle

bacillus. It is not an antifebrile medicine,

although it relates to derivatives of salicylic

acid.

Some derivatives of para-aminosalicylic

acid, for example, its phenyl ester or para-benzoylaminosalicylic acid, have the same therapeutic activity as PAS proper.

Calcium benzoyl-p-aminosalicylate gives significantly fewer side effects when taken

orally than PAS, and is used instead of the

latter.

Methyl salicylate (salicylic acid methyl ester) is a colorless or yellowish liquid with a strong, aromatic odour. It is slightly

soluble in water, and is miscible with alco-hol and ester in any proportions. Its density

is 1,176-1,184 g/cm3. Methyl salicylate is

one of the well-known aromatic substances.

It was first isolated as the main ingredient

of some natural essential oils (wintergreen

and cherry birch oils). As the component

of these oils, one began to widely use it in

medicine. Methyl salicylate is also an ingre-dient of some ointments, balms and liniments

often used in combination with chloroform,

turpentine and fatty oils. Pharmaceuticals

on the basis of methyl salicylate are meant

only for external use as antiinflammatory and

analgesic agents to treat neuralgia, migraine

and rheumatism.

Phenyl salicylate (salol) is a white, crys-talline powder or small colourless crystals

with a faint odour. It is virtually insoluble in

water but soluble in alcohol (1:10) and alka-line solution, easily soluble in chloroform,

and extremely eas
