Afshin Kiani
said his company has exported 320 tons of MDI to China.
Launched
in 2016, the MDI unit of the company was completed by relying on domestic
capabilities after Swedish and Germany licencors of the project left Iran due
to US-led sanctions on Tehran's nuclear agenda.
The company
can now supply 40,000 tons/year of 9 grades of MDI and is now supplying
polymeric and pure MDI on domestic and international markets.
Karoon
Petrochemical Plant is Middle East's first producer of isocyanates, Kiani said.
Iran consumes
20,000 tons of MDI annually which means the rest of the plants' output will be
up for grabs by foreign consumers.
