An industry laboratory for glass and fibrous materials has been established at Polotsk-Steкловолокно OJSC. The grand opening will take place on July 10, as reported by the Belarusian State Technological University.
The laboratory will conduct research and development activities aimed at creating innovative and science-intensive technologies in the field of fiberglass and products based on it, and their implementation at the enterprise of the Belneftekhim concern, Polotsk-Steкловолокно OJSC, to solve problems of resource saving, energy saving, import substitution, and to improve the quality and competitiveness of products.
For the Polotsk enterprise, the industry laboratory will organize targeted training of engineering personnel in the first degree higher education specialty "Chemical Technology of Inorganic Substances, Materials and Products" (specialization "Technology of Glass and Sitalls"), and in the second degree higher education specialty "Technology of Silicate and Refractory Non-metallic Materials". It will also train candidates and doctors of technical sciences in the specialty "Technology of Refractory Non-metallic and Silicate Materials".
The laboratory is equipped with unique scientific equipment that will be available to participants of the Polotsk Composite Cluster. This will expand the range of products manufactured and strengthen scientific and production ties in the national composites industry. The initiators of the laboratory's creation are the Belarusian State Technological University, Polotsk-Steкловолокно OJSC, and the Belneftekhim concern.
