Iranian Researchers Produce Nano Paint to Save Energy
Researchers at Atlas Poushesh Mohafez Company which is active in nanotechnology field produced and then commercialized special paints that can narrow down energy consumption in various buildings.
Nano thermal insulations reduce energy consumption, protect the environment and bring significant savings in national resources by storing thermal energy in residential and industrial environments.
These insulating paints can control cold and heat and thus reduce energy consumption in different structures with different uses. In buildings, these paints can be used both in the exterior and interior. In the industrial field, specially in the oil and gas sector, these nano insulation paints can be used to reduce energy consumption in tanks and pipes.
Also, these thermal insulation paints are resistant to ultraviolet rays and have interesting feature, including quick drying and the possibility of being applied with different tools like brushes, sprays and rollers. They also enjoy self-repairing properties to meet the needs of upstream industries.
The technical, economic and strategic advantages of the product include reduction of energy consumption and modification of the consumption pattern, saving heating and cooling energy consumption, features like anti-damp, water-repellent and resistant to the penetration of rain and environmental humidity, the possibility of being used as a cover for the exterior and roof of the buildings, and high adhesion on various metal, plaster, wood, cement and concrete surfaces.
Iran has made great achievements in nanotechnology.
Former Iranian Vice-President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari said earlier this year that some 270 companies are active in the nanotechnology field and it is predicted that their revenue will reach up to $310 million.
He added that currently, nanotech products are produced and marketed in more than 15 industrial fields based on domestic technologies and are being exported to 49 countries from five continents.
