TEHRAN (NIPNA) – Iran's Karoon Petrochemical Company has exported its first aniline cargo, a strategic petrochemical product, to India since the February inauguration of its second phase, an official with the plant said.

 

Kazem Bostakian, commercial director of the plant, said the 48-ton consignment was the company's first export cargo supplied by its second phase.

The plant sold each ton of the item at $1020, he said.

The plant is also preparing to send another aniline consignment, weighing 98 tons, to India in the near future.

Aniline is an organic compound with the formula C6H5NH2. 

Consisting of a phenyl group attached to an amino group, aniline is the prototypical aromatic amine. Its main use is in the manufacture of precursors to polyurethane and other industrial chemicals. 

Like most volatile amines, it possesses the odour of rotten fish. It ignites readily, burning with a smoky flame characteristic of aromatic compounds.

The first supplier of MDI and toluene diisocyanate (TDI), the plant's products have no rivals in the western Asian countries.
