Polymer Datasheets: Exploring Iran’s Petrochemical Products

Introduction

In the world of plastics, polymer datasheets are essential tools for understanding the properties and applications of materials. Whether you are a polymer buyer, plastic product manufacturer, or a technical procurement manager, you rely on datasheets to make informed decisions. This article dives deep into the polymer products of Iran’s leading petrochemical companies, explaining common materials such as Polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE), Polypropylene (PP), ABS, PVC, GPPS, and HIPS — all with a focus on their technical datasheet values and sourcing information.

Why Polymer Datasheets Matter

A polymer datasheet provides the physical, thermal, and mechanical properties of a plastic material. These properties guide decisions in:

• Product design
• Mold selection
• Quality control
• Supplier comparison

For example, when choosing a grade of ABS for injection molding, knowing the Melt Flow Index (MFI) or Impact Resistance can mean the difference between product success or failure.

For Iranian-made materials, datasheets are often available directly from manufacturers or reliable distributors. In this post, we highlight the most popular grades and suppliers across the country.

Leading Iranian Petrochemical Companies

Here are some of the most recognized petrochemical companies in Iran that provide polymers with standardized datasheets:

• Bandar Imam Petrochemical Co. (BIPC)
• Arvand Petrochemical
• Ghaed Basir Petrochemical (ABS producer)
• Tabriz Petrochemical Company
• Jam Petrochemical
• Takhte Jamshid Petrochemical
• Petro Paak
• Amirkabir
• Shazand (Arak)
• Marun and Mobin Petrochemical
• NPC (National Petrochemical Company)

These companies produce a wide range of polymer types with competitive pricing in both rial and dollar terms.

1. Polyethylene (PE)

Polyethylene is the most widely used plastic in the world and comes in three main forms:

a) HDPE – High-Density Polyethylene

HDPE is strong, rigid, and used for bottles, pipes, and containers.

Common Grades:

• HDPE 6045 – Petro Paak
• HDPE 7240 – Tabriz

Sample Datasheet (HDPE 6045):

b) LDPE – Low-Density Polyethylene

LDPE is flexible and used for films, bags, and cable coatings.

Common Grades:

• LDPE 2420D – Bandar Imam
• LDPE 2426H – Imam Khomeini

LDPE datasheets typically show:

• MFI range: 0.3–0.7
• Vicat Softening Temp: ~90°C
• Elongation: >400%

c) LLDPE – Linear Low-Density Polyethylene

LLDPE blends flexibility with strength and is used in stretch films and liners.

Popular Grades:

• LLDPE 22B02 – Bandar Imam
• LLDPE 31B00 – Shazand

2. Polypropylene (PP)

Polypropylene is a versatile polymer used in packaging, textiles, automotive parts, and more.

Key Types:

• Homo-PP – Used in rigid products
• Random Copolymer – For transparency and toughness
• Impact Copolymer – For automotive and durable items

Popular Iranian Grades:

• PP 1540 – Tabriz Petrochemical
• PP 1115 – Petro Paak
• PP 3180 – Jam

Sample Datasheet (PP 1540):

3. ABS – Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene

ABS is a tough, impact-resistant plastic used in consumer electronics, automotive parts, and toys.

Main Iranian Source: Ghaed Basir Petrochemical Co.

Popular Grades:

• ABS N45 – Injection molding
• ABS 10720(W) – Higher MFI for thinner parts
• ABS 10415 / 10417 – General purpose

Sample Datasheet (ABS 10720):

4. PVC – Polyvinyl Chloride

PVC is used in pipes, fittings, window profiles, and cables.

Types of Iranian PVC:

• PVC S65 – Suspension grade (K value ~65)

Main Producers:

• Arvand Petrochemical
• Bandar Imam Petrochemical

Sample Datasheet (PVC S65 Arvand):

5. GPPS – General Purpose Polystyrene

GPPS is transparent and brittle, used in CD cases, cutlery, and packaging trays.

Key Iranian Producers:

• Tabriz Petrochemical
• NPC via agents

Typical Properties:

• MFI: 6–10
• Density: 1.04–1.06 g/cm³
• Vicat: 95°C
• Tensile Strength: 40–50 MPa

6. HIPS – High Impact Polystyrene

HIPS is modified with rubber to improve impact strength, ideal for food containers, toys, and appliance parts.

Features:

• Impact Resistance: High
• Opacity: Opaque (unlike GPPS)
• MFI: 3–6

HIPS is often produced alongside GPPS by the same companies.

How to Read a Polymer Datasheet

Here’s what to focus on in a polymer datasheet:

Sourcing Iranian Polymers with Datasheets

Many Iranian suppliers offer downloadable PDF datasheets on their websites or via email upon request. Some include:

• Ghaed Basir Co. for ABS: ghaedbasir.com
• BIPC for HDPE and LDPE: bipc.ir
• Tabriz Petrochemical for PP and PS grades
• Arvand for PVC: arvandpetro.ir

Also, distributors and technical sellers often include datasheet links in their product listings.

Conclusion

Whether you’re sourcing raw material for injection molding, film extrusion, or blow molding, understanding the polymer datasheets of Iranian petrochemical products is crucial. From HDPE 6045 and PP 1540 to ABS 10720 and PVC S65, each material brings its own properties and strengths.

By using the datasheets provided by companies like Ghaed Basir, Tabriz, Petro Paak, and Bandar Imam, you ensure better product design, improved quality control, and optimized cost.
