The CEO of Karoon Petrochemical Company said the item is
used making platinum mesh.
Alireza Sedighizadeh said that localization of the strategic
and widely consumed catalysts in the production chain of isocyanates was
carried out by Iranian knowledge-based companies, adding in line with the macro
policies of the Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company (PGPIC) in
support of Iranian manufacturers and knowledge-based companies, for the first
time supply of "platinum mesh" catalyst was entrusted to the
Iranians.
The CEO of Karoon Petrochemical Company stated that "nitric
acid" is the feedstock for the production of isocyanate chain products,
and added "platinum mesh" catalyst for nitric acid production has
always been purchased with high risks and costs from countries such as Russia,
India and Germany.
Emphasizing that the problems of supplying this catalyst
from foreign manufacturers had increased the risk of producing isocyanate chain
in Karoon Petrochemical Plant, he added: "Accordingly, with the support of
Iranian knowledge-based companies, for the first time platinum mesh catalyst is
produced domestically with the aim of producing nitric acid.”`
