History

In 1989, the Government of the USSR announced the termination of funding for "industry" (applied) science. Several employees of the Ural Scientific Research Chemical Institute (UNIKhIM), headed by Victor Titov organized a cooperative called "ROX" (Russian oxides). The goal was simple - to survive in conditions of severe inflation, general shortages, growing chaos and collapse of the established ties in the economy. On the premises and equipment leased from UNIKhIM, ROX was working on the orders of customer enterprises, while the payroll was divided among the performers, and overhead costs were minimal.

In April 1991, the Joint Soviet-Canadian venture Compomet Cantec was established. Victor Titov was appointed Director.

The enterprise produced and exported technically complex materials - oxides of chromium, aluminum, titanium and zirconium to the United States. The enterprise worked on the premises leased at the Experimental Plant of UNIKhIM on purchased or self-manufactured equipment. In 1997, the activity of the enterprise was terminated.
In 1997 Victor Titov created LLC "T:SP" with sole ownership.

In 1998, by order of the Automotive Catalyst Plant of the Ural Electrochemical Plant, the production of zirconium oxide with 12% cerium oxide, a component of the catalytic converter, began. Production of various types of powder catalysts based on cerium and zirconium oxides continued until 2012. A total of ~ 500 tons of materials were delivered.
In parallel, all these years, the production has been developing and the technologies for manufacturing various types of zirconium oxide for coatings and ceramics have been improved.

Since May 2001 LLC "T:SP" has been working at the site in the village of Gorny Shchit Yekaterinburg, renting buildings, equipment, technological prescriptions and "know-how" from the owner – Victor Titov, who is the scientific leader of the enterprise.

At present, LLC “T:SP” is the only manufacturer of special types of zirconium oxides for coatings and ceramics in Russia. The majority of Russian enterprises producing and repairing aircraft gas turbine engines utilize our materials based on zirconium oxide.
Modernization and generation change of rocketry and gas turbine engines for aviation drives the creation of new types of materials - this is the task facing LLC “T:SP” today and it is being successfully solved.
