The
items will be used to satisfy the domestic need for the items in the cold foam
and paint industries.
Alireza
Sedighizadeh, the CEO of Karoon Petrochemical Company, said on Saturday,
November 15, at the unveiling ceremony of the two new products that his complex
was the first producer of isocyanates, including TDI and MDI in the Middle East
and West Asia.
MTDA
and KMT-10 were introduced by the Karoon Petrochemical Plant in order to
diversify its product portfolio, meet the needs of downstream industries,
complete the value chain and increase resilience in the face of sanctions.
He continued:
“The commercial supply of the new grades, in addition to rendering the country
self-sufficient in production of the items, meets the needs of petrochemical downstream
industries in the country.
The
CEO of Karoon Petrochemical Company, noting that the firm had an annual
production capacity of 2,000 tons of KMT-10 and that the most important
application of this product is in the production of cold foam molds with high
flexibility for use in the automotive and office and home furniture industries,
added: “MTDA production capacity in this company is 1,000 tons to meet the
needs of intermediate and downstream manufacturers of paint, resin and
polyurethane industries.”
Sedighizadeh
stated that the use of KMT-10 in furniture production prevents the loss of flexibility
of car seats and furniture over time, adding production of car seats with this
product does not require special furnaces and equipment.
He also
said that MTDA is primarily used for production of paint and the item produced by
Karoon Petrochemical Plant has managed to spark interest among Iranian consumers
and producers of paint.
