Abstract

On the basis of archival materials and published sources introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, the article examines the problems of adapting technologies obtained by the USSR as a result of World War II to Soviet production conditions. A number of them have been developed as a result of cooperation between industry and research institutes, which has allowed them to find new areas of application. Thus, the Ansonite cardboard, as it was replaced in construction with other materials, began to be used for insulating plastered surfaces and water supply pipes. The publication focuses on the impact on the production process of the transition of production from TU (technical specifications) to GOSTs (state standards). In conclusion, it was concluded that the successful development of cardboard production was associated with long-term cooperation between production and research institutes, which ensured the production of new types of «Ensonite» cardboard.
