クラスターテクノロジー Company Profile

We have newly added high sliding grade BFS310 and high rigidity grade TR345 to the biomass plastic composite material PasCom. PasCom now has three grades, making it suitable for various applications. It is particularly well-suited for parts that require wear resistance, sliding properties, and lightweight characteristics, making it ideal for those struggling to find biomass materials suitable for mechanical components. Additionally, despite having a high biomass content, it offers high rigidity, low warpage, and low shrinkage, allowing for the addition of even greater value to products where the use of biomass materials has previously been difficult. Features of each grade: PasCom S40 A standard grade of PasCom suitable for lightweight applications, featuring excellent wear resistance, dimensional stability during moisture absorption, and anti-static properties. PasCom BFS310 A high sliding grade that significantly improves wear resistance by reducing the coefficient of friction. It has a low friction coefficient and extremely high wear resistance. Like S40, it is low in specific gravity, providing a high lightweight effect. PasCom TR345 A high rigidity grade that uses recycled carbon fibers. Its moisture absorption is minimized, resulting in small decreases in physical properties and dimensional changes during moisture absorption. Its specific gravity is less than 1.3, making it lightweight as a reinforced resin.

We have started providing samples of PasCom S40, a low-density biomass material (with a biomass content of over 95%) that excels in wear resistance and low friction, aimed at reducing dependence on fossil-derived materials and minerals, as well as utilizing resources from abandoned bamboo forests and controlling bamboo damage. It is a biomass-marked certified product that, while being a high-level biomass material, possesses excellent sliding and wear resistance characteristics that can serve as an alternative to petroleum-derived POM and PA sliding components, which have been largely unavailable until now. We hope those looking for biomass materials for sliding components will evaluate it.
