en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, within the framework of the "Movement" Real Estate Forum, Russian synthetic materials producer SIBUR signed a memorandum of cooperation with UTECH to jointly develop and promote an innovative solution for monolithic construction—removable formwork with polymer panels—in Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union countries.
Under the cooperation framework, UTECH will continue to localize the production of its own-brand removable formwork using polymer panels in Russia, while SIBUR will provide specialized polymer grades and technical expertise for the project. In 2026, UTECH plans to produce approximately 18,000 square meters of polymer panels for removable formwork systems. In addition to raw material supply, SIBUR also plans to offer technical support to UTECH to adapt the solution to construction market demands and assist in liaising with developers and general contractors. SIBUR has already applied removable formwork with polymer panels in individual projects, including the construction of the "Korabelnaya Roshcha" sanatorium, to evaluate the technology's performance and economic efficiency.
Alexey Sboev, Director of the Construction Division at SIBUR, stated that the construction industry is interested in solutions that can simultaneously optimize costs and improve construction quality, making the combination of material producers and technology partners particularly important. He noted that the potential for polymer panels in removable formwork systems is significant, and the company is prepared to support the development of this technology not only through the supply of specialized polymer grades but also through industry expertise at various stages.
Removable formwork is a temporary reusable structure used for pouring concrete, applied in the construction of foundations, walls, columns, and other load-bearing and non-load-bearing building components. Polymer panels in removable formwork can enhance the efficiency of monolithic construction due to their longer service life, ease of repair, and moisture resistance.
Pavel Zhmykhov, General Manager of UTECH Distribution, stated that the company is actively developing innovative solutions in the composite formwork sector, expanding their application not only to walls but also to floor slabs. He believes that the use of polymer materials and the localization of own-brand production in Russia open new horizons for the construction industry, as polymer materials can significantly increase equipment turnover, reduce labor costs, and improve concrete surface quality. He is confident that introducing advanced polymer solutions will help projects reach a new level of quality.
