Iran-Made Nano-Based Products Protect Vehicle, Construction Parts

With five products in the construction and automotive fields that have nanoscale certification, the company has taken an important step towards improving the quality and extending the life of structures and cars.
The company has used nanotechnology to design products for different parts of the car that, in addition to increasing beauty, help maintain and extend the lifespan of the car.
Car wash containing nanoparticles, car wheel and dashboard polish and cleaner, car engine wash, hydrophobic cement-based mortar containing nanoparticles, and polyurethane-based superhydrophobic coating containing nanoparticles are the products made by the company.
In a relevant development in September, Iranian researchers at a nanotechnology company had also managed to produce strong vehicle break pad adhesive which shows high thermal resistance.
‘Polymer Pishrafteh Amirkabir’ company has succeeded in producing the brake pad adhesive in which nanoparticles are used to improve quality.
"Pad adhesive is used in the production line of brake pads for light and heavy vehicles whose task is to connect the two lower parts and the upper layer of the pad to each other,” said Mohammad Alizadeh, one of the founders of the company.
“We used nanoparticles to improve the thermal properties of this adhesive. The pad is a piece which is constantly subjected to friction and high temperature,” he added.
Noting that the addition of nanoparticles to the adhesive increased the thermal resistance of the pad so that it shows more resistance than normal pads in the hot shear test, Alizadeh said, “At present, the adhesive is being produced on an industrial scale of one ton per month."
