Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Produces Organic, Inorganic Pigments for Industries
“The priority and main goal of our company is to increase the quality of products. We boldly claim that the quality of the pigments produced by our company is at the same level compared to the quality of the pigments produced in China, India, and the European countries,” said Mojtaba Tavahhodi, the founder and managing director of the knowledge-based company.
“The production lines of all these pigments are controlled (automatically) and various precision instrument methods are used so that the produced color shade is uniform and stable,” he added.
Tavahhodi also underlined the launch of production lines for various products in this field, and said, "After launching production lines for mineral chromate and organic copper phthalocyanine pigments, which have about 20 different products, we will start production lines for azo pigments and iron oxide pigments, which are the most widely used pigments in the country and the international market after titanium and black pigments."
In a relevant development in January, Iranian scientists at a knowledge-based company stationed at Gilan province’s Science and Technology Park had also succeeded in indigenizing and producing phycocyanin pigment without chemical additives.
“Phycocyanin pigments are produced in the powdered form in most countries of the world and have not been produced in Iran so far. But now, all the technology and materials needed for its production have been achieved from A to Z by the specialists of our company,” Hassan Qazanfari, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“The most important advantage of these pigments is their protein and naturalness. No chemicals are used in making these pigments and they are completely physically concentrated,” he added.
Noting that the pigments are used in food and cosmetic-health industries, Qazanfari said, “These pigments are edible and can be used for all dairy products, all types of drinks, and cosmetic products.”
