According to INPIA, PVC grade S60 was previously only available to 5 pharmaceutical companies for the production of tablet coatings, and other units, such as manufacturers of pipes and fittings and granule manufacturers, were not subject to the purchase of this grade from the commodity exchange. The open market was sold and due to these production units not included in the S60 grade and the lack of alternative material, these units were forced to either stop part of their production or buy this grade at high prices from the open market. The result was an increase in the price of the final product for the final consumer. To get acquainted with the process that took place to get this grade out of the monopoly, we talked to Engineer Mohsen Safdari, Director General of the Non-Metal Industries Office of the Ministry of Silence, and Engineer Mansour Ghadimi, a member of the Board of Directors of the PVC Pipe and Fittings Association. Read: National Association of Polymer Industries of Iran and Association of PVC Pipe and Fittings Manufacturers Convinced Relevant Officials to Degree S60 Grade A member of the board of directors of the PVC Pipe and Fittings Association, noting that the S60 PVC grade is out of the exclusive mode and pipe and fittings manufacturers can also purchase this grade from the commodity exchange, said: The PVC Pipe and Fittings Manufacturers Association Along with the National Association of Polymer Industries of Iran, they were able to convince the officials by holding several meetings that this grade should not be allocated to only a few pharmaceutical companies and that other manufacturers could also purchase it. In an interview with INPIA, Engineer Mansour Ghadimi mentioned about the withdrawal of S60 grade from being assigned to a few limited pharmaceutical companies and the process that has taken place: The beginning of this case is related to the past year and a half that one of the country’s petrochemicals Production of the S57 grade was on fire, and consumers of this grade were forced to replace the S60 due to reduced supply and lack of imports. He continued: “In early 1999, this grade was limited to 5 pharmaceutical companies, and the manufacturers of pipes and fittings had a lot of problems, because it was neither S57 grade nor S60 grade, so they went to S65 grade, which caused a lot of problems.” Creates the country in construction and development plans. A member of the board of directors of the National Association of Polymer Industries of Iran said: “For this reason, both the Association of Pipes and Fittings and the National Association held several meetings with relevant officials.” Ghadimi pointed out: Although the S57 grade entered the production line in August, but due to lack of proper quality, it did not respond to the manufacturer and the manufacturers preferred to use the same S65 but not the S57. The polymer industry activist said that many manufacturers had to convert their production line and the pipe without fittings, which is practically a problem in the market. According to the old saying, since the S60 grade of Tetas belonged to 5 pharmaceutical companies, not all of these companies consumed all the supplied materials and sold the surplus in the open market, thus in fact what was previously done by the stock exchange. The goods were given to the real producer, through some of these companies were sold in the open market at very high prices. He added: “We also held several meetings with petrochemical manufacturer S57 to improve the quality and standardization of this grade, which of course its quality has improved but has not yet reached the standard, and naturally S60 is currently preferred for the production of connections. Ghadimi stated: The National Association of Polymer Industries of Iran and the Association of Manufacturers of PVC Pipe Fittings, with the help of each other and with various follow-ups, were able to leave this issue for the officials to take this grade out of the exclusive mode and give it to pipe and fittings manufacturers. Be. “This happened last week, but since there was no supply, we have not yet seen a market reaction,” he said. According to the old saying, this incident has problems in implementation and the whole quota of some companies in the order registration stage has become S60, which is being pursued through the association to correct the administrative problems related to registration. It was possible to buy S60 for manufacturers of pipes and fittings with the follow-up of the National Association of Polymer Industries of Iran Engineer Mohsen Safdari, Director General of the Office of Non-Metallic Industries of the Ministry of Silence in an interview with INPIA, referring to the possibility of purchasing grade S60 and S65 from the commodity exchange by manufacturers of PVC pipes and fittings regarding the route taken to remove the monopoly VC grade S60 pointed out: Last year, the issue of allocating S60 grade PVC to units producing pharmaceutical sheets was raised and the uses of this grade were determined by the National Association of Polymer Industries of Iran. The Director General of the Office of Non-Metallic Industries of the Ministry of Silence continued: “According to this, a separate product line was created for grade S60 to be approved in the commodity exchange.” He added: “Previously, only 5 units producing tablet coatings had about 14,000 tons per year of S60 grade PVC quota, and this grade was allocated to these 5 units due to supply and production restrictions.” He added: “Various meetings were held in the Petrochemical Demand Management Committee, during which the PVC pipe and fittings production units and the National Association of Polymer Industries of Iran requested the return of this issue and the possibility of purchasing for pipe and fittings production units.” . According to Safdari, in the 30th meeting of the Petrochemical Demand Management Committee, it was determined that according to the letter sent by the National Association of Polymer Industries of Iran, the units producing pipes and fittings with ISIC code for pipes and fittings have 20% opportunity to buy S60 and 80% to buy Have S65.
