For 8 months of 2022, the volume of exports of refractory cements increased by 71% to 12.4 thousand tons. Such a significant increase in supplies is explained by an increase in demand for products from Russia (+74% to 12.2 thousand tons). It is worth noting that Russia's share in the total volume of exports for this product is 99%.

The main supplier of refractory cements was the Kazogneupor LLP plant (Kostanay region).
