The official said Iran’s petrochemical industry was on the path to
progress and needed the latest technologies to ensure its development.
He said various grades of petrochemicals were being produced in Iran
and domestic research and development capabilities could satisfy the need for
technologies needed for production of many of the items.
Mr. Farajpour said that NPC was working in tandem with domestic R&D
centers including the Petrochemical Research and Technology Company (PRTC) for gaining
access to the latest technical achievements in the field.
“The prospect of using new grades for production of petrochemicals has
been a major development in the country and more value-added items are being
produced domestically,” the official said.
He further said that MD3510, LL235F7, MD3520, MD3550 and LL235F6 polyethylene grades were either being supplied by Iranian petrochemical producers
currently or were planned to be produced in the near future.
The official stated that Tabriz Petrochemical Plant had supplied
EPS-FR grade for the first time in Iran, adding it had recently produced ABS
grade, which was used as sheet in refrigerators and freezers.
