M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, one of the oldest and biggest classic universities of Russia, purchased approximately 25 tonnes of multi-component advanced environment-friendly Bionord Universal deicing agent for winter 2023-2024. This is not the first year the innovative products manufactured by Ural Plant of Deicing Materials (UZPM), the production site of which is located in Krasnokamsk, Perm Krai, has been used in the territory of the University. 

Moscow State University founded in 1755 is one of centres of the Russian science and culture. The University in Moscow was organized thanks to the activity of Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov, an outstanding scientist and encyclopedist, the first Russian academician. The main building of Moscow State University — the highest of the seven Stalin’s high-rises — is 183.2 metres high (or 235 metres high including the spire) and was build during the period from 1949 through 1953. 

Today Moscow State University is the biggest classic university in Russia. There are 41 faculties (over the last 20 years 21 faculties were established), 40 research and development institutes, Medical Research and Scientific Centre, Academic Library, 4 museums, Science Park and Botanical Garden in the University. The Moscow State University campus on Vorobyovy Gory has an area of 1,200,000 square metres. Its territory includes libraries, reading rooms, lounges, a printing office, a post office, laundries, a beauty salon, hair salons, first aid stations, a pharmacy, a health centre, canteens, cafes, buffets, grocery stores, gyms, swimming pools, stadiums, courts, a bicycle and rollerblade rental, parks, and car parks. 

In addition to this, Moscow Power Engineering Institute and Moscow Aviation Institute have purchased Bionord Universal again to use it in their territories. 

“Ice should not become an obstacle to knowledge; therefore, it is extremely important to pay special attention to winter maintenance of territories of educational institutions. Deicing gents of UZPM manufacture are the best for getting rid of slipperiness, because, as compared to conventional sand-and-salt mixtures, UZPM products work at –20 °C, –25 °C and –30 °C, depending on the product line,” Evgeniy Nemirovsky, Adviser to the General Director for Development, says. “Moreover, our deicing agents are completely soluble, do not lead to soil salinization and dusting in spring, which is especially important with regard to parks and water bodies in the territories of educational institutions, especially for Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Biology of Moscow State University, the collection of which includes thousands of species of woody and herbaceous plants.” 

This year V. Ya. Kikot Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and D. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia have purchased another product line of deicing materials of UZPM manufacture: Bionord Pavements combined agent.
