Innovative hydrophobic coating for construction developed in Turkmenistan

02.05.2025

The International Scientific and Technological Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan has completed the development of a fundamentally new hydrophobic composite coating for building structures. The technology created under the guidance of candidate of technical sciences Meretmuhammet Khudaiberdiyev has already received patent protection. This is reported by the Internet edition “Turkmenistan: Golden Age”. The innovation is based on a unique composite material combining porous synthetic matrix with sulfur polymer concrete. This provides a number of significant advantages over traditional solutions. The coating demonstrates high adhesion to various surfaces and increased mechanical strength, allowing to effectively solve the problems of external and internal waterproofing of structures. The performance characteristics of the development deserve special attention. The material shows resistance to aggressive media, which significantly expands the scope of its application. Time indicators of strength gain are reduced several times - instead of the standard 28 days the material reaches working characteristics in just a few days. An important aspect of the technology is its economic and environmental efficiency. The use of sulphur from natural gas processing creates additional opportunities for utilization of this by-product. Simplified installation and no need to combine with traditional concrete reduce labor costs during construction.

Turkmenistan is actively caring for silkworm cocoons

01.05.2025

In the new season, silkworm breeders of Turkmenistan plan to hand over more than 2 000 tons of valuable cocoons to the state. The Balkan province traditionally makes a significant contribution to the total volume of production, setting a goal to collect more than 25 tons of products. This is reported by the online news outlet "Turkmenistan: Golden Age". Silk farming remains one of the most important sectors of the national economy, the products of which are in steady demand in the domestic and world markets. The development of the industry is ensured thanks to the state support, including implementation of comprehensive programs for modernization of agriculture and creation of optimal conditions for the work of specialists. In Balkan velayat specialized nurseries where thousands of silkworm bushes - the main fodder base - are grown are successfully working. At the beginning of the season more than 680 boxes with greens were distributed to silkworm breeders of the region. Compliance with technological requirements to temperature regime, humidity and lighting allows producers to confidently fulfill production plans.
