Iran in talks with Australia, Brazil to export hexamine

Xinhua, December 27, 2016 Adjust font size:

Iran held talks with Australia and Brazil for the export of hexamine to both countries in the near future, an Iranian trade official was quoted as saying by Press TV on Tuesday.

According to Hamed Vahedi, a member of Tehran's Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture, the talks with Australia over exporting hexamine were finalized.

Vahedi also said that measures will be taken to send a cargo of the petrochemical product to be used in the plastics industry as well as in the production of explosives, rubber, and the medical field in the near future.

The official added that similar talks for exporting hexamine to Brazil were also finalized.

Vahedi said Iran's petrochemicals exports increased following the lifting of the U.S.-led sanctions against the country earlier this year.

Iran's petrochemical exports were limited under the sanctions imposed against the country from 2011 to 2016.

Sanctions were lifted after the deal between Iran and the five Security Council permanent members plus Germany came into effect in January. Endit
