Nano-Based Durable Trash Bags Produced by Iranian Firm
‘Sabz Mohit Nano Aras’ company managed to make the product which is a durable nanoparticle-containing polyethylene-based trash bag for the collection of solid wastes with high resistance to tearing and leakage.
The nanoparticles of less than 100 nm in size have been added to the polyethylene-based trash bags with several purposes, including improvement of the tensile strength and elastic modulus and increase in the resistance to tearing and leachate leakage.
The product can be used as tearing-resistant trash bag for residential solid wastes and office, hospital and industrial media.
Earlier this year, researchers of a knowledge-based company in Iran had also succeeded in making heavy polyethylene wax used in car tire industry and production of calcium carbonate plastic, PVC pipes and all types of plastics, exporting it to four countries.
“Our company produces heavy polyethylene wax which is used as an accelerating lubricant in the car tire industry and production of calcium carbonate plastic, PVC pipes and all types of plastic,” Heshmatollah Maleki, the managing director and head of the board of directors of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“This lubricant product is used in the process of curing polymers, polishing the final product and also protecting against physical and external stresses,” he added.
Stating that his company has been working on production of polyethylene and polypropylene pipes for 17 years, Maleki said, “We were able to export these polyethylene wax materials to China, India, Pakistan and Turkiye.”
