43. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chemical exports are one of the key areas of Iran’s international trade, which has a special place in the country’s economy due to its rich oil and gas resources and strong petrochemical infrastructure. With years of experience in this industry, Ishtar Company, as one of the pioneers in chemical exports, plays an important role in meeting the needs of global markets. In this article, we will examine the laws governing chemical exports, the list of exported chemicals, and Ishtar Company’s commercial activities.</p>
44. <h2>Chemical Export Laws from Iran</h2>
45. <p>Exporting chemicals from Iran is subject to specific laws and regulations, compliance with which is essential for success in this field. Some of the most important laws and requirements are:</p>
46. <p>Business Card: Any natural or legal person to conduct international business activities, including chemical exports, needs to obtain a business card from the Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture. This card is usually valid for one year and must be renewed.</p>
47. <p>Export Licenses: Some chemicals require specific licenses from the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade due to security, environmental issues or international sanctions. For example, the export of chemical fertilizers, solvents and some petrochemical products requires an export license.</p>
48. <p>Certificate of Analysis (COA): This certificate, issued by accredited laboratories, confirms the technical and chemical characteristics of the product and is essential to gain the trust of international buyers.<br />
49. Compliance with international standards: Exported products must comply with the quality standards of the export destination (such as ISO standards or specific standards of the target countries).<br />
50. Management of sanctions and restrictions: Exporters should be aware of international restrictions and sanctions imposed on certain chemicals to avoid legal problems.<br />
51. Transparent contracts: It is essential to draft export contracts with precise details and consult with legal and commercial experts to avoid potential disputes.</p>
52. <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5663 size-full" src="https://ishtarcompany.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/قوانین-صادرات-مواد-شیمیایی-از-ایران.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="400" srcset="https://ishtarcompany.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/قوانین-صادرات-مواد-شیمیایی-از-ایران.jpg 700w, https://ishtarcompany.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/قوانین-صادرات-مواد-شیمیایی-از-ایران-300x171.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>

203. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chemicals are substances that are made up of mass and volume, have a fixed chemical composition and specific properties, and cannot be broken down into other components without breaking chemical bonds. These substances play an important role in our daily lives; from detergents and food preservatives to medicines, all are examples of chemicals.</p>
204. <h2>Definition of Chemicals</h2>
205. <p>Chemicals include chemical elements, chemical compounds, ions, and alloys.<br />
206. • Element: Made up of identical particles (similar atoms or molecules). Many natural elements are unstable and are converted into compounds by chemical reactions.<br />
207. • Chemical compound: Formed by the reaction of different elements and has properties completely different from their original elements.<br />
208. For example:<br />

268. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is one of the most widely used chemical compounds in modern industry. This colorless, odorless, and relatively low-viscosity material plays a vital role in the production of a variety of industrial and consumer products due to its unique physical and chemical properties.</p>
269. <p>MEG is mainly used as a base material for the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is used in the manufacture of plastic bottles, synthetic fibers, and food packaging. It also plays a key role in various industries, including textiles, automotive, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, construction, and the refrigerant industry.</p>
270. <p>Below, we will take a comprehensive look at the main applications of MEG in various industries:</p>
271. <h2>The role of ethylene glycol in antifreezes, coolants and heat transfer fluids</h2>
272. <p>Ethylene glycol is one of the most important compounds used in cooling and heating systems, which is widely used as an antifreeze, coolant and heat transfer fluid in various industries, especially the automotive, aerospace and air conditioning industries.</p>
273. <p>It is used in the structure of automotive antifreeze, as a deicing fluid in aircraft, cooling water in HVAC systems and also as a heat transfer fluid in geothermal heat pumps. However, pure ethylene glycol is not suitable for use alone as an antifreeze or engine coolant due to its low specific heat capacity and low heat transfer coefficient and must be used as a solution in water.</p>
274. <p>One of the key features of an aqueous solution of ethylene glycol is its ability to change the physical properties of water. This substance disrupts the structure of ice by interfering with the hydrogen bonds between water molecules, causing the freezing point to drop significantly. Also, this compound increases the boiling point of the solution, expanding its operating temperature range and preventing cooling systems from boiling at high temperatures.</p>
275. <p>The highest antifreeze performance of this solution is achieved when the ethylene glycol concentration is about 70%; in this case, the freezing point of the solution is reduced to minus 55 degrees Celsius. The ratio of the ethylene glycol concentration in the solution has a direct effect on properties such as cooling capacity and overall heat transfer coefficient, and these properties determine the thermal and dynamic behavior of the fluid in heating and cooling systems.</p>

277. <h2>Dehydration Process in the Oil and Gas Industry</h2>
278. <p>With the increase in oil and gas extraction activities in deep waters, the transportation of these materials through long pipelines has become more important. One of the main challenges in this path is to prevent the product from becoming hydrated and, as a result, prevent corrosion of equipment. To deal with this problem, the dehydration process is used.</p>
279. <p>One of the common materials in this process is ethylene glycol, which is used to remove water from the natural gas stream. This material prevents the formation of natural gas with water vapor and, after undergoing a purification process, can be recycled and reused.</p>
280. <p>In the natural gas industry, the Glycol Dehydration system is a common method for removing water from produced gas. This system uses a drying liquid (dehumidifier) ​​to absorb the water vapor contained in natural gas extracted from underground sources. This is of great importance, because the moisture contained in the gas can cause serious damage to equipment, corrosion of pipelines and a decrease in the quality of the final product. For this reason, it is essential to use this system in refineries and gas units.</p>

282. <h2>Ethylene glycol; Raw material in the production of polymers</h2>
283. <p>Ethylene glycol is one of the key raw materials in the manufacture of various polymers and is widely used in the production of materials such as polyurethane, polyethylene succinate (PES) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).</p>
284. <p>Head-to-tail polyurethane is produced through an addition polymerization reaction between p-isocyanatobenzyl isocyanate and ethylene glycol in the presence of an alkaline catalyst.</p>
285. <p>Ethylene glycol also plays an important role in the production of polyethylene glycol (PEG). In this process, ethylene glycol reacts with ethylene oxide and under catalytic conditions, various types of PEG are obtained as the final product.</p>
286. <p>For the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a combination of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid is used in the presence of a chemical catalyst and heat. At the end of this process, PET is produced in molten form and molded for use in various industries.</p>
287. <p>Along with polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate is one of the most widely used and common plastics in the world. It is used in the production of products such as plastic bags, mineral water and soft drink bottles, space blankets, and gas cylinders.</p>
288. <p>Plastic products made of PET and PE are often used as containers for storing chemicals. Because of their diverse physical and chemical properties, they are compatible with a wide range of acidic and basic substances and exhibit high resistance.</p>

754. <p><strong>What is Baking Soda?</strong></p>
755. <p>Baking soda is a leavening agent, also known as sodium bicarbonate. It is added to ingredients before baking to produce carbon dioxide, which increases the volume and improves the texture of the food. For baking soda to work correctly, it must be combined with moisture and an acidic substance to initiate the fermentation process and expand the mixture.</p>
756. <p>Since this reaction requires acid, baking soda is typically used in recipes that include acidic ingredients such as yeast, lemon juice, chocolate, buttermilk, or honey. Baking soda is also a key component of baking powder, which is made by combining baking soda with tartaric acid and other salts. Baking soda is available in both industrial and edible grades.</p>

758. <p><strong>Uses of Baking Soda</strong></p>
759. <p>Baking soda is primarily used in cooking as a leavening agent in many food products. When baking soda is combined with moisture and acidic substances like yogurt, chocolate, buttermilk, or honey, a chemical reaction occurs, releasing carbon dioxide bubbles. These bubbles expand the dough in high temperatures in the oven, causing the baked goods to rise. In fact, heat causes baking soda to release carbon dioxide, acting as a raising agent.</p>
760. <p>However, baking soda reacts as soon as it comes into contact with moisture, so it should be added to dry ingredients immediately. It is an essential component in making bread, cakes, biscuits, and cookies. Additionally, it can be used to replace baking powder.</p>
761. <p>In the past, baking soda was used to soften vegetables during cooking, but nowadays, most people prefer to eat firmer vegetables.</p>
