Iranian Nanotechnology Firm Makes Megastone Adhesives for Construction Purposes
“Our research company operates as a subsidiary of Alvan paint and resin cooperative holding, focusing on research and development on different products,” said Mohammad Sadeq Kouchaki, the manager of research and development (R&D) department of Technologihay-e Bartar Farma engineering company.
“In this company, various products like wave absorbent paints, fireproof coatings, water tank coatings, antibacterial paints, floor coatings, slow-burning paints, special paints for underwater applications, nanosil coating, megastone adhesives, etc. are produced,” he added.
Kouchaki said that other products of the company include silera surface repellent (nanosil), cement fireproof coating, water-based antibacterial paint, water-based acrylic lacquer (matte and semi-glossy), paint absorbent, and electromagnetic waves (shield color).
In a relevant development in July, experts at an Iranian nanotechnology firm had also succeeded in manufacturing a new type of reinforcing adhesive which can be used for car body.
‘Ayegh Khodro Toos’ company has made the product which is an epoxy resin-based and solvent-free reinforcing adhesive containing nanoparticles.
It should be cured at temperatures above 140 C to become resistant against moisture, heat, extreme cold, and acidic and alkaline media.
The incorporation of nanoparticles in the epoxy resin matrix has resulted in improved flowability, adhesion strength, and heat flux, and enhanced wear resistance in a convenient and cost-effective way.
The product can be used as reinforcing adhesive for ceilings, doors, columns, and backs of the car.
