Academic Center for Education, Culture, Research of Iran Makes Great Progress in Chemical Technologies
“The activities of the Chemical Industry Development Research Institute are defined in four main areas, which include conducting applied and developmental research to settle problems in the chemical industry by relying on indigenization of technical know-how, commercializing knowledge-based technological products, providing specialized and advanced laboratory services to researchers and scientific centers, and holding specialized training courses and publishing research results,” Najmeh Yazdanfar said.
“Among these chemicals is a complete package of 12 types of drilling cement additives, the semi-industrial production of which was inaugurated last year,” she added.
“Given the strong support of the research institute, we are the only group in the country that enjoys the capability to fully supply these materials and optimize their formulations in accordance with the conditions of oil fields and drilling equipment. Also, the indigenization of various biocides, anti-corrosion agents, and anti-foams is another important achievement of ours that is developing day by day,” Yazdanfar said.
In a relevant development in December 2024, an Iranian knowledge-based company had also managed to produce 350 types of chemical laboratory materials to meet 50% of the needs of the country's industries.
“At present, we have produced nearly 350 chemicals and with this achievement we were able to meet nearly 50% of the needs of the domestic market,” Amir Malayeri, the sales manager of the knowledge-based company.
“The chemicals produced by our company are in the categories of solvents, acids, bases, salts, alcohols, metals and metal oxides, absorbents, indicators, titrants, pH buffer solutions, oxidants and reducers, disinfectants and disinfectants, and organic materials,” he added.
Malayeri explained that among the applications of these materials are in quality control laboratories and research and development of various industries, medical diagnostic laboratories, forensic medicine, manufacturing of medical kits, and drug production.
“At present, our focus is on supplying the domestic market, but with the aim of improving the quality of materials, the company is also seeking access to foreign markets,” he added.
