By Jeila Aliyeva - Trend:
Turkmenistan continues to work on establishing production of 500-G20-K brand of cement, Trend reports with reference to Business Turkmenistan informational portal.
Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers Shamuhammet Durdylyev made a report on the subject to President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov at a meeting held via videoconference.
According to Durdylyev, the Ministry of Industry and Construction Production of Turkmenistan, together with the Institute of chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, has taken steps to use active mineral substance in the production of cement.
The necessary active mineral substance supplements for the production, basalt porphyrites, are extracted from Ufra deposit, which belongs to the Balkan ore department in Turkmenistan. Due to their physical and chemical properties, these mineral substances significantly improve the quality of the cement.
Currently, Turkmenistan produces Portland cement of the 400-G20-K brand.
The president of Turkmenistan earlier noted that the country has all the necessary mineral resources to boost manufacturing of import-substituting products.
