Publication of the seventh international standard in the field of nanotechnology under the responsibility of Iran

the seventh International Standard With Iran's responsibility in the field Nanotechnology with the subject “Polymer food packaging” was published.

The international standard developed under Iran's responsibility in the field of polymer food packaging with the title "Nano technology - Polymer nanocomposite films for food packaging with impermeable properties - Determination of characteristics and measurement methods" that the development of this standard is the result of four years of continuous efforts of the working group formed under the supervision of the special headquarters for the development of nano technology.

The desired international standard deals with the impermeability characteristics of nanocomposite polymer films, which are measured in order to improve food packaging.. Impenetrable feature including water vapor and gas transfer (oxygen) And the transmission of visible and ultraviolet light. This standard also describes related measurement methods.

Food packaging based on nanotechnology due to their improved features such as: Increasing the shelf life of food and as a result reducing waste and discarding them have found a growing market, the main advantage of this type of food packaging is extending the shelf life of food by improving its properties..
