Iran-Made Nano-Based Writing Instruments Bring Health to Students
These products include pens and erasers that have antibacterial properties and are able to eliminate harmful bacteria in a short time.
The company's antibacterial pens are produced with a body containing nanoparticles. Since these writing instruments have direct contact with the hand, their antibacterial properties prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses in educational and office environments.
The company's erasers and magic sands also reduce harmful bacteria on surfaces in the same way, and their use improves personal health. Also, the company's nano-based adhesives have become more resistant and durable due to nanotechnology and have wider applications in educational and industrial environments.
In addition to meeting the needs of the domestic market, the knowledge-based company also provides its antibacterial additives to other manufacturers.
In a relevant development in July, Iranian technologists at a knowledge-based company had also managed to produce nano-based bags and backpacks which provide a hygienic and durable solution for carrying items.
A private sector company in Iran has succeeded in producing bags and backpacks that, by using antibacterial fibrous geomembranes containing nanoparticles, can prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria and unpleasant odors in these widely used products.
The nanoparticles used in the fibers of this product have created effective antibacterial properties. Based on tests conducted in accordance with the Iranian National Standard No. 10900, the antibacterial activity of these bags against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) bacteria was reported to be 2.15 and 2.17, respectively, both exceeding the minimum acceptable value (2) and indicating high efficiency in inhibiting the growth of pathogens.
These features not only increase the health of users, but also prevent the bags from getting smelly in humid and high-traffic conditions; a common problem specially in travel and mountaineering bags.
Also, the durability and high resistance of this product make it a suitable choice for heavy-duty and long-term applications, including office bags, laptop backpacks, travel and nature tourism.
