Iranian Nanotechnology Firm Makes Cement-Based Tile Powder Adhesive
Abolfazl Zare’ Bidaki, the managing director of the knowledge-based Bidak Nano Sakhtar Sanaye’ Shimiyayee company introduced a cement-based tile powder adhesive containing nanoparticles as one of the products of his company.
“These advanced adhesives, using silica nanoparticles, can provide higher mechanical strength than conventional products and establish a better bond between the tile and the wall surface,” he said.
“In the past two to three years since this adhesive has been supplied to the market, we have tripled its sales every year,” Zare’ Bidaki said.
In a relevant development in 2023, specialists at an Iranian company used nanotechnology to produce megastone adhesives with application in connecting all types of building stones, porcelain ceramics, and specially large size slabs on metal, concrete, etc.
“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).
