Ghadir Petrochemical’s great achievement: Iran’s self-sufficiency in medical PVC production

According to Energy Press, for the first time in Iran, Ghadir Petrochemical Company has succeeded in producing medical grade PVC, which is directly related to the issue of treatment and health of the community.
This great achievement is a big step towards the country’s self-sufficiency in the field of medical equipment and reducing dependence on imports.
Medical grade PVC is a vital raw material in the production of more than 3,000 types of medical products. The unique features of this material, including high transparency and variety in hardness, have made it an ideal choice as a base polymer in the manufacture of most consumer goods in the medical equipment industry.
Global standards, a guarantee of quality
The production of medical grade PVC at Ghadir Petrochemical Company has been carried out in accordance with all global standards and the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration. This product, with its high purity and absence of harmful impurities, will significantly increase the safety and quality of medical products produced in the country.
PVC powder, due to its high use and application in a wide range of medical goods and equipment, as well as its use in goods with hazard classes A to C, is definitely a category of industrial raw materials that must be approved as medical grade in accordance with existing requirements and standards.
The level of residual materials RVCM <1ppm, low levels of various heavy metals, and the absence of other impurities, including low levels of black grains and fish eyes, are the most important indicators of achieving a medical grade PVC product.
Responding to the needs of the medical industry
After the medical equipment industry announced numerous needs to the National Petrochemical Industries to supply its required medical grade PVC, Ghadir Petrochemical Company began planning and implementing the necessary requirements to achieve a medical grade PVC product.
