Iranian Inventor Develops Insulation with Nanotech Powder That Fights Germs & Replaces Bitumen

An innovative Nano-insulation powder provides antibacterial protection, waterproofing, and a sustainable substitute for bitumen in building.

Through the use of nanotechnology, the company's antibacterial moisture-proofing powder, which contains nanoparticles, has demonstrated effective antibacterial capabilities. The substance is used to seal a variety of surfaces, including retaining walls, swimming pools, water tanks, toilets, and gable roofs. Its benefits, which may meet the diverse demands of the construction sector, include good adherence to a variety of surfaces, ease of use, and rapid implementation.

Customers may apply this ready-to-use nano-insulation powder by simply adding water and using a brush or roller. It forms a resilient, long-lasting, and moisture-proof coating after it dries. Among the product's exceptional qualities are its high degree of flexibility, ease of application on metal or monolith columns, resistance to abrasion and water pressure, and potential for vapor passage for the underlying surface. This powder has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in fighting harmful germs in addition to its building capabilities through the use of antibacterial nanoparticles.

An Iranian inventor also succeeded in creating an insulating substance in 2022 that may take the place of conventional bitumen in structures. The bitumen-soaked textiles that are typically used in the construction sector can be replaced with the new insulation.

With eleven years of professional expertise, inventor Roham Faraj Mohammadi told ANA that his work focuses on insulating buildings and infrastructure, particularly in petrochemical complexes. After working for a time, he said, he realized that a unique material with great heat resistance and several applications was needed.

He drew attention to the high cost of importing materials that can be used in distillation towers, petrochemicals, and industry to provide acid resistance and thermal and moisture insulation.

Roham claimed to have discovered an insulator and filed for a patent after years of investigation. Iran has nothing comparable in terms of formulation. These polymers cannot dissolve or mix with water since they are not hydrophilic at all. However, he made it possible for it to be mixed with resins that are based on water.
