Nanotechnology Firm in Iran Produces Moisture-Proof, Antibacterial Construction Powder
Mohammad Ali Tahbaz, the chairman of the board of directors of Jikava company, pointed to the features of moisture-proof and antibacterial construction powder and mortar produced by the company via using nanotechnology.
“The antibacterial waterproofing powder (Zikabam), tile and ceramic bonding powder with antibacterial properties (Zikapond), colored mortar with antibacterial properties, antibacterial construction paint coating (Zikafam), antibacterial repair mat (Gray Cementex) are among the products of our company,” he said.
Tahbaz underlined that all products of his company enjoy nanoscale certificate of the Iran Nanotechnology Innovation Council (INIC).
In a relevant development in June, a nanotechnology firm in Iran also used inorganic nanoparticles to produce wear-resistant concrete flooring suitable for construction industry.
‘Behdis Saman Amin’ company has made the product which is a well-engineered concrete whose operational properties are improved by adding oxide nanoparticles. It is used for building constructions and industrial applications.
Adding the inorganic nanoparticles to the cementitious matrix has resulted in enhanced compressive, bending and tensile strengths in the product, strongly improved its durability and reduced its permeability.
The product can be used in building blocks, constructions and apartments, and industrial facilities.
