Antibacterial Aircraft Blanket’s Fabric Made by Iranian Firm
‘Zarbaf Amin Textile Industries’ company produced the antibacterial aircraft blanket made of polyester and acrylic fabrics containing nanoparticles to kill bacteria and microbes.
The incorporation of nanoparticles into the fabric led to the emergence of antibacterial properties in the product.
The nano-based fabric can be used in making antibacterial blanket for airplanes which preserves its antibacterial activity after washing for 10 times and shows antibacterial activity before washing.
In a relevant development late last year, an Iranian knowledge-based company had also succeeded in production of lubricant oils for aircraft engine.
"We produce automobile and industrial diesel engine oils, but we did not have engine oil for aviation industry in the country and we decided to produce it to prevent imports, and now we are one of the five companies in the world that can produce it,” said Mohammad Javad Khajeh, the product manager of Pravia company stationed at the incubator center of Islamic Azad University's Science and Research branch.
"HF 510 and SA 500 oils and several other special oils to the aircraft are produced in our company. Lubricant should exist in the engine of an aircraft for its parts to move, and if there is no oil, these parts will rub against each other and cause damage and leave negative impact on the engine,” he added.
Khajeh said that Babolsar and Ramsar airports in Northern Iran have so far purchased the engine oil, adding that talks are underway with Russia for exports.
