Mohammad Motaghi, Director of Downstream Industries Development at the
National Petrochemical Company (NPC), described the platform as a “milestone in
transparency and standardization,” noting that it will streamline access to
consistent technical data for downstream industries.
“Previously, every product listed on the commodity exchange had to be
accompanied by a datasheet detailing its chemical and physical properties,”
Motaghi explained during the launch at the 19th IranPlast exhibition. “This
process was largely manual, prone to discrepancies, and often caused confusion
among buyers and downstream manufacturers.”
SamaP addresses these challenges by mandating that all petrochemical
companies upload their products with standardized specifications. Over 1,500
polymer product standards were reviewed and harmonized during development,
ensuring that buyers now have access to a single, authoritative datasheet for
each product grade.
“This platform eliminates ambiguities that previously led to disputes
or inefficiencies in downstream industries,” Motaghi said. “Going forward,
SamaP will serve as the official reference for product specifications, and no
discrepancies will arise between companies.”
He added that this is only the first phase: chemical products will be
integrated into the system next, alongside the establishment of reference
laboratories to validate the data. SamaP thus represents a key step in
strengthening Iran’s petrochemical infrastructure, supporting both domestic
downstream industries and international trade.
