ince ancient times, tiles have been one of the main construction and decorative materials. Today, the tile and ceramic industry is among the seven priority industries, alongside sectors such as steel and automotive, making it one of the most significant industries in Iran.

Although Iran is recognized as the world’s fifth-largest producer and exporter of tiles and ceramics, this industry faces multiple challenges in the country. Beyond the need for skilled labor and acquiring suitable machinery, one of the biggest challenges is finding high-quality raw materials with consistent properties. The primary raw materials for tile and ceramic factories include clay, water, glaze, color, cartons, and pallets. Even the slightest unintended variation in these materials can disrupt the production process and affect the final quality of tiles. Most of the materials used in Iran’s tile and ceramic industry are sourced domestically. However, tile production in Iran requires high water and energy consumption, and given the country’s climate conditions and available resources, all industries are required to reduce the usage of these two critical elements.

On an international level, the industry also faces challenges. Compared to some other tile-producing countries, Iran’s tile and ceramic industry offers less variety and lower quality, while in comparison to others, it does not maintain a competitive price.

Nanosanjesh, in line with its mission to protect natural resources, produce non-toxic materials, and reduce the final product cost, has developed a range of raw materials for tile and ceramic factories, including dispersants, binders and body strengtheners, and antibacterial agents.

Nanosanjesh is committed to innovation and strongly believes in the power of ideas to alter material properties
