United Wagon Company (UWC) and Bashkir soda company (BSC) have signed an agreement for the delivery of tank cars for chemical products.
Within the agreement by the end of 2016 BSC will obtain more than 70 tank cars fitted with bogies with axle load 25 tf, manufactured in TikhvinChemMash (part of RPC UWC). Tank cars will be operated for the transport of hydroxide sodium from Caustic to consignees across the Russia and abroad.
The thermal insulation, made in the form of mats of moisture-resistant basalt fiber, has been applied in the tank car construction design. It prevents freight solidification and allows keeping it in a liquid state in the course of transportation in the cold season at temperatures down to -40С. The availability of the factory insulation is unique to the market.
Tank car is designed by All-Union Research and Development Centre for Transportation Technology (part of RPC UWC).
BSC is one of the largest chemical complexes in Russia and the leader in the production of calcined, caustic and baking soda, PVC and cable plastic compounds.
