The item is produced with a capacity of 2500 to 5,000 tons per
year based on market demand.
This item will be produced for the first time in the Middle
East in order to meet the needs of mid and downstream industries of the country's
polyurethane industry.
Production of the item will bring multiplied value added to
Karoun Petrochemical Plant and will render the country needless of importing
the grade.
Alireza Sedighizadeh, CEO of Karun Petrochemical Plant,
addressing the unveiling ceremony of KLM100B (L) grade, stated that the amount
of import of this product in 2019 was 5,000 tons, and said: “The nominal annual
production capacity of KLM100B (L) grade is 5400 tons. The item is one of the
vital grades for production of pre-polymers used for production of shoe soles
and cold foam molds in car seats, office chairs and furniture.”
Previously, the item was imported from China, South Korea,
Turkey, Germany and the United States and cost the country so much. Now, it is
produced domestically through the catalytic reaction of liquefaction of Pure
MDI and the formation of carbodiimide groups in two types: KLM100B (L) and
KLM100B (H).
