Hossein Mir Afzali said his company has successfully
developed the technical savvy needed for production of the polymer product
He said the company supplies the domestic
market for HDPE Pipe Grade, hence no need for import of the item by the country.
The grade is used for production of
polyethylene pipes which are widely used in various industries.
He said catalyst supply was the biggest
issue with production of the item which was settled by tapping east-to-access
Asian suppliers rather than high-cost western producers of catalysts.
HDPE Pipe Grade is a higher molecular
weight material than the standard HDPE.
It displays improved performance
characteristics in a variety of piping applications. In addition, the material
is UV stabilized and ideal for use in demanding outdoor applications. It
retains its properties between -220°F and 180°F and resists most chemicals.
