What HaloPolymer does

HaloPolymer (АО «ГалоПолимер») is a Russian specialty chemical manufacturer headquartered in Moscow, operating two integrated production complexes at Kirovo-Chepetsk and Perm and employing approximately 4,000 people. The company produces fluoropolymers, fluoroelastomers, fluorinated refrigerants and specialty gases, multi-purpose fluorinated chemicals, and inorganic chemistry products. It is the only Russian producer of specialized fluoropolymers (including melt-processable fluoroplastics and fluoroprenes), holds approximately 9% of the global PTFE market (ranking #7 worldwide), and is the #1 Russian producer of refrigerants (freons). Branded product lines include Fluoroplast-4 (PTFE in suspension and emulsion grades) and Elaftor (FKM and FFKM fluoroelastomers).

Its underlying technology base spans suspension and emulsion polymerization of PTFE, specialty fluoropolymer compounding, fluoroelastomer cure systems, refrigerant gas production (HCFC and HFC), and inorganic chemistry co-production including hydrochloric acid, caustic soda, calcium chloride, and acid compositions. Custom fluorochemical capabilities cover perfluoroalkyl iodides, fluorinated monomers, telomeric alcohols, perfluorinated fluids, lubricants, and powders. The company markets into chemical processing, automotive (including EV components and seals/gaskets), electrical and electronics, refrigeration and HVAC, with secondary presence in aerospace and medical devices.

HaloPolymer makes money through direct B2B sales of physical chemical products, organized through a wholly-owned trading house subsidiary with dedicated sales departments per product category. Pricing is quote-based for industrial customers and not publicly disclosed. Distribution leverages the trading house network with warehouses and sales offices worldwide, and the company maintains a global footprint via international logistics from its two Russian plants. There are no consumer-facing, subscription, software, or recurring service revenue streams.
