Iranian Company Produces Nano-Based Keratin from Chicken Feathers
“Behin Fanavaran Arman Company has been operating in the field of producing hydrolyzed keratin from chicken feathers for about two years. This product is used as a raw material in the cosmetic and health industries, including hair masks, shampoos, and therapeutic keratins,” said Amir Hossein Aabi, the technical director of production of the company, on the sidelines of the 16th International Nanotechnology Exhibition in Tehran.
He explained that the product, while having a higher regenerative power for hair, does not have the unpleasant sulfur smell caused by the hydrolysis process.
Aabi also referred to other applications of the product, saying, “In addition to the cosmetic and health industries, the keratin we produce can be used in the agricultural sector (as organic fertilizer) and the medical field, specially in the production of dressings and wound dressings.”
“The dry powder of this material, with compounds similar to natural keratin in human skin, has significant healing properties,” he stated.
The 16th International Nano Technology Exhibition and the First Exhibition of Advanced Technologies of Iran was inaugurated at the Tehran International Fairground.
Held from November 2 to 5, the Nano Exhibition featured over 150 innovative companies showcasing advancements in nanotechnology. Meanwhile, the Exhibition of Advanced Technologies hosted 80 knowledge-based and technological products, attracting visitors, particularly students, researchers, and investors.
