SIBUR develops new polyethylene grade for blown films
In the blown film manufacturing process, melted polyethylene is inflated with air into a bubble, then cooled and rolled into a reel. This technology allows the production of films with excellent durability and elasticity as well as films of varying thicknesses. Blown film is widely used in food packaging and agriculture.
The new grade of LLDPE marks another step in strengthening SIBUR's position in the global flexible packaging market. The product has successfully passed approval tests with key film producers in Turkey and is ready for large-scale supply. Russian processing partners will also be able to supply finished films made from SIBUR's feedstock to the Turkish market.
The LLDPE grade developed by SIBUR contains slip and antiblock additives, which reduce friction and prevent the blocking of film layers in rolls. This enables high-speed packaging operations and ensures the stability of film rolls during storage and transportation.
The new grade with additives eliminates the need for customers to purchase extra modifiers and masterbatches, making the technological process for polymer processors and film manufacturers much simpler and reducing their overall costs.

CNBC Daily Open: Trump brandishes tariffs for peace, not a trade war
Here's a tariff we can get behind. At a White House meeting on Monday with NATO's secretary general, Mark Rutte, U.S. President Donald Trump said he would introduce "tariffs at about 100%" on Russia's trade partners if the Kremlin doesn't reach a deal to end its invasion of Ukraine in 50 days. Notably, the punitive measures will be implemented as "secondary tariffs," Trump said. Unlike Trump's normal tariffs, under which a specific country is slapped with a levy, secondary tariffs impose the duty on countries and entities that buy Russia's exports. While those moves were meant to weaken Russia's economy, they do run the risk of drawing other countries' ire. According to data from the International Trade Centre, in 2024, Russia's biggest export was oil, and its biggest buyers were China, India and Turkey, in that order. That means those nations, among others, would effectively face a tariff of 100% from the U.S. — the highest of all updated numbers announced so far — if they don't shift their buying patterns. That said, it's refreshing to think of tariffs not as a weapon in a trade war (even if there might be collateral damage), but being used for peace. Trump threatens 100% tariffs on Russian export buyers. The U.S. president said he will impose "secondary tariffs" on Moscow if the country doesn't end its war on Ukraine in 50 days. U.S. stocks tick up even after renewed tariff threats. All major U.S. indexes posted mild gains Monday stateside. The Stoxx Europe 600 inched down 0.06%, but London's FTSE 100 closed 0.64% higher to hit a record high. 'Patriotism' buying is suppressing inflation. Kevin Hassett, director of the U.S. National Economic Council, theorized that tariffs aren't causing prices to rise because Americans are buying domestic products. Elon Musk doesn't support Tesla-xAI merger. The tech billionaire replied in the negative to a question regarding a potential deal. Musk, however, said he backs Tesla investing in xAI, and will hold a shareholder vote on it. [PRO] Tesla's supplier has potential beyond batteries. Contemporary Amperex Technology, also known as CATL, supplies battery packs to major electric companies. Analysts think the company can also be a "software ecosystem provider." Inflation report Tuesday should provide clues on the impact tariffs are having on prices June's inflation report will be examined not so much for what the headline numbers show than what's in the underlying data, especially whether tariffs are starting to have an impact. "I'm looking at autos and I'm looking at apparel, and last month's reading was very low for both of them, which is very counterintuitive to what you would have" expected, said Chris Hodge, head U.S. economist at Natixis CIB Americas. "These are two sectors that are very sensitive to increased tariffs."

NATO chief warns Russia's trading partners after Trump's 100% tariff threat: ‘You might want to call Vladimir'
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned world leaders trading with Moscow on Monday that they should consider ringing Russian President Vladimir Putin and push him toward peace in Ukraine before President Trump's secondary tariffs kick in. 'Today, if you are in Beijing or in Delhi, or you're in Brazil, and you know that this is coming to you — you might want to call Vladimir and say, 'Hey, friend, we are still buying stuff from you, but you have got to get serious when it comes to these negotiations on the cease-fire or a peace deal,' Rutte said in an interview with Fox News 'Special Report' host Bret Baier. 3 Rutte lauded Trump's plan as 'smartly designed.' AFP via Getty Images Advertisement 'There will be also an effect directly on Russia, of course, but this is really significant, and it is just – it is smartly designed by the president,' the NATO chief said of Trump's tariff threat. Trump, during a White House meeting with Rutte, pledged to impose 'severe tariffs' on nations doing business with Russia if the Kremlin doesn't agree to halt its bloody war against Ukraine within the next 50 days. 'They'll be at 100%, and that is the way it is. It could not be more simple … I hope we don't have to do it,' the president said. Advertisement Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick later clarified that Trump was referring to secondary sanctions on Russia's trading partners, which punish individuals or entities who do business with a country. The Russian economy has already been strained by some direct US sanctions. 'If I was in the Kremlin today, I would not be too happy, because this is a clear signal that President Trump is here — he wants peace. He hates the fact that so many people lose their lives in Ukraine,' Rutte said. Trump also vowed Monday to provide 'billions of dollars' worth of weapons to Ukraine — paid for and distributed by NATO allies. Advertisement 'I think that's fair,' Rutte said of Trump's demand that NATO pay for the weapons. The NATO secretary general added that the alliance is 'good at logistics' and plans to deliver the weapons to Kyiv in 'packages which are really useful and for them to be maximum effective.' 3 Rutte argued that Russia's trading partners should pressure Putin into striking a peace deal with Ukraine. via REUTERS 3 Trump's decision to rearm Ukraine and slap sanctions on Russia comes after previous peace negotiations with the Kremlin failed to end in an agreement. Advertisement Rutte noted that Trump informed him last week that he wanted to step up for Ukraine. 'Last Thursday, I got a call from President Trump. He said, 'Hey, Mark, we really want to ramp up the support for Ukraine when it comes to weapons,'' Rutte said. 'And then this morning, I was in the White House preparing for the meeting with him, and he said, when it comes to the sanctions, clearly we have to take the next step now.' 'He was really, I think, irritated by his last phone call with Putin, who is not serious, it seems, about getting into peace deals.'
