Fluororesin is a type of thermoplastic plastic that contains fluorine atoms in its molecular structure and is made from the halogen mineral known as fluorite. One of the most famous examples is PTFE (Teflon). Fluororesin is referred to as "the last bastion of resin" due to its many excellent properties. It is used in various fields such as automotive, semiconductors, and aerospace, supporting today's industries.

In recent years, due to the spread of the internet, there has been a growing trend of manufacturers using e-commerce sites to independently seek out sales channels and conduct transactions, a phenomenon referred to as "disintermediation." To overcome this trend, trading companies are required to create value that exceeds the intermediary margins paid by manufacturers. Below, we will introduce methods to enhance the value of trading companies by leveraging the advantages of their long-established global networks and existing business models, along with the associated challenges.

The noise generated by factories is a problem that must be addressed, as it can disturb nearby residents and cause stress for employees. As mentioned in a previous article, resin itself has the effect of reducing sound compared to metal, and this time I will introduce resins that can particularly reduce noise. Noise control using resin mainly utilizes its flexibility for sound absorption, vibration damping, and shock isolation, while soundproofing methods are not employed.

Biomass plastic is a type of plastic obtained by chemically or biologically synthesizing renewable biomass resources. Since it does not use crude oil as a primary raw material, it can significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. This allows for maintaining carbon neutrality even during incineration, making it a material that the government is promoting for adoption, and implementing it can also be effective for receiving subsidies. (For information related to subsidies, please refer to past articles.)

I will provide a brief explanation about plastics. First, plastics can be broadly categorized into "thermoplastic resins" and "thermosetting resins." Next, within thermoplastic resins, there are "super engineering plastics," "engineering plastics," and "general-purpose plastics." The higher you go, the better the performance, but the unit cost also increases, so it is necessary to accurately determine the required specifications. Furthermore, the addition of additives and composites complicates the selection process, but don't worry, as I will explain the key points for material selection concisely along with a flowchart!

The marine plastic problem refers to the issue of plastic that has flowed into the natural environment without proper disposal, negatively impacting human health and marine ecosystems. The effects are on the rise, with an estimated 8 million tons of plastic entering the oceans each year worldwide. Understanding this issue and engaging in environmentally conscious initiatives is a corporate social responsibility. In the first half, we will discuss recommended initiatives for companies and actual examples of efforts being made, while in the second half, we will introduce environmentally friendly resins.

All-solid-state batteries refer to batteries that do not use liquid electrolytes and have a separator layer made of solid electrolytes placed between the positive and negative electrodes. However, at this stage, mass production technology has not yet been established, and it is believed that full-scale commercialization will still take time. With the spread of electric vehicles (EVs), safety has become an important issue, leading to active research and development of all-solid-state batteries.

The purpose of the Trump tariffs is to bring jobs and factories back to the United States and to increase domestic production capacity. Many factories will be forced to downsize or even close. The impact on Japan's core industry, particularly the automobile sector, is immeasurable. This is due to Japan's production system of "making in Mexico and selling in America."

Traditionally, wet machining (the use of coolants or cutting oils) was the norm in cutting processes. However, in recent years, there has been a growing interest in "dry machining." The reasons for this are clear. Dry machining meets the demands of the current era, such as reducing environmental impact, lowering coolant costs, and facilitating automation and unmanned operations. In particular, in environments with small-batch production of various types, the burden of coolant and cleaning increases with each machining process. For companies looking to alleviate such burdens, dry machining is becoming a viable solution.
