Iranian Knowledge-Based Company to Produce Seat Warmers for 30,000 Cars
“We have nanotechnology products, the most important of which is the seat warmer and we have produced and commercialized it,” said Ali Qarakhani, the director of research and development of the knowledge-based company.
Noting that nano materials have been used in these seat warmers, he underlined that they enjoy high quality due to the use of nanotechnology.
“At present, we have a contract with SAIPA company for these seat warmers, and we will produce seat warmers for 30,000 cars this year,” Qarakhani said.
“We have built a printer in a bid to make and develop products in the field of printed electronics like seat warmers, sensors and car panels with the help of nano inks. In this technology, making flexible and low-cost electronic devices is possible by using nano-inks,” he added.
Earlier, in August, Farabin Farayand Sharif company in Iran had also managed to make a polyurethane solution containing nanoparticles to produce cold foam for car seats with a compressive strength, meeting the standards of auto industry.
“Polyurethane compounds are used to produce car seats, bumpers and some car interior decorations. This substance consists of two main components, one of which is isocyanate. Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is a type of isocyanate used in various industries, and the use of this type of isocyanate is prohibited in the auto-making industry,” said Mohammad Shivapour, the deputy managing director of Farabin Farayand Sharif company.
“Although this type of isocyanate can be used in other industries like furniture making, removing TDI from isocyanate causes damage to the properties of the final product, i.e. foam in car seats,” he explained.
Shivapour said that his company has designed and produced a type of prepolymer with nanotechnology that does not require TDI and can be used to produce car seats with the PSA standards of the auto industry.
