The presence of the chemical pilot production as a structural part of the Institute that is capable of elaborating the technologies of fine organic synthesis and manufacturing pilot batches of new chemical products and reagents has made it possible to yield a series of new developments.
In different years, those included:
- the technology for manufacturing DETA insect repellent;
- the technology for fabricating aromatic polyamines to produce Lola synthetic fibers that was used to manufacture the space suits for the Soviet and U.S. astronauts participating in the Soyuz–Apollo program;
- antioxidants, thermal and photostabilizers of polymers based on sterically hindered alkylated phenols;
- “Novosil”, the agent increasing the crop yields for a number of key agricultural products;
- various biologically active compounds;
- nitroxyl radicals of imidazoline series that are widely used in various fields of science and technology;
- a broad range of polyfluoroaromatic compounds that have previously been unavailable;
- the quenching medium for thin-wall parts made of aluminum alloys;
- flux “Sosna”, a component of the alloy for soldering nonferrous metal products;
- “Aluminotypia”, the technology for producing images on anodized aluminum and its alloys;
- components for polymer films with varied light transmission capacity;
- extractants for precious metals;
- detergents of various applications (ranging from car wash agents to sanitizers for hands and rooms);
- water-based liquid detergent that dissolves and removes hardened cement-containing materials;
- a product line for the industrial plastic processing equipment;
- composite solvents for industrial systems for permanent product coding and marking.
