Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Produces Agents for Cleaning Plastic Surfaces

“The increase in the use of plastic materials in human life comes with dangers for human health and people now pay more attention to those dangers than in the past. Our products remove the microbes from the surfaces of plastic materials to become antibacterial. For example, the car's steering wheel or dashboard can become antibacterial using this product which is produced based on nanotechnology” Reyhane Etefaq, the chairwoman of the board of directors of the Iranian knowledge-based company said, according to the news service of Iranian Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology.

She pointed to zinc oxide as one of the other knowledge-based achievements of their company and said, “This substance is antibacterial and is used in the production of products such as tiles and ceramics. Ceramic tiles with a layer of this nanotechnology product are more hygienic. These tiles and ceramics are used in hospitals or kitchens. It is also possible to produce carpets, rugs and carpets, especially in pilgrimage, religious places that usually get crowded, using these substances as antibacterial to supply them to the consumer and raise the level of environmental health.”

This knowledge-based company is also a producer of graphene oxide, production of which costs at least one third of the price of similar foreign rivals. This material cools down the pieces, devices, machines and industrial products that usually get too hot and flammable such as pipes used in oil and gas industries.
