Description: 
This institute has pursued the development of basic chemicals for 
the rubber and plastics industry. Of primary interest was the evolution of 
a new technology for furfurol production, which was adopted into industry 
by the Leningrad Hydrolysis Factory about 1956. Further investigations 
have concerned the hydrolysis of lignins as fillers for synthetic rubber; 
production of polysaccharides and corrosion-resistant materials; and the 
development of automatic-control-system measurement devices. 
A Trudy is published by the Institute. A branch of the Institute 
is located in Moscow.
