During the High-Performance Materials Week, Otsuka Chemical and Higashiyama Film will jointly exhibit at Plastic Japan and Film Tech Japan.

This is an introduction to functional polymers using controlled radical polymerization. [We will be exhibiting at Plastic Japan and Film Tech Japan in October.]

"TERPLUS" is a functional polymer synthesized using our proprietary controlled radical polymerization method, "TERP method." By utilizing controlled radical polymerization, we provide polymer products with uniform molecular weights and controlled polymer structures, such as block polymers. The main product groups of "TERPLUS" include the following: 1) Pigment dispersants: Advanced dispersion stability due to block polymer structure 2) Adhesives: Manifestation of anti-contamination properties and mechanical characteristics through molecular weight distribution control in the high molecular weight range Our dedicated plant at the Tokushima factory can accommodate production from prototype to mass production levels. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Compared to organic foaming agents, there is less mold contamination and metal corrosion, and heat-absorbing decomposition allows for a reduction in the molding cycle!

The "Uniform AZ P Series" is an environmentally friendly foaming agent primarily composed of inorganic carbonates. We offer masterbatches tailored for various applications and purposes, including vehicle components, building materials, and furniture parts. Unlike organic foaming agents, inorganic foaming agents do not leave color residues or odors in the final product (foam), leading to improved quality and increased productivity due to thermal decomposition. 【Features】 ■ White in color, resulting in minimal coloring of molded products ■ Less mold contamination and metal corrosion compared to organic foaming agents ■ Thermal decomposition allows for shorter molding cycles ■ Masterbatches available for various applications and purposes, including vehicle components, building materials, and furniture parts *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Excellent wear resistance and recyclability! Reinforcement at the micro level is possible for thin and narrow sections. 【Exhibiting at Plastic Japan and Film Tech Japan in October】

We would like to introduce our resin composite material "Pochicon/Wistat." By incorporating potassium titanate fibers "Tismo" and "Dentor" as reinforcing materials, it is possible to provide micro-level reinforcement in thin and narrow sections of molded products. Additionally, molded products made with this material have high mold transferability, resulting in a smooth mirror-like surface. The improvement in dimensional accuracy makes it suitable for precision parts, sliding parts, plated parts, and aesthetic parts. 【Features】 ■ Micro reinforcement capability ■ Excellent friction and wear resistance ■ Excellent recyclability ■ Excellent dimensional accuracy and stability ■ Extreme surface smoothness *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At Eihon Seiki, we handle Brookfield's rotational viscometers, which are widely used by many customers. We offer consulting services such as measurement method proposals and data analysis to assist our customers with viscometers and rheometers. As part of our ongoing commitment to customer service, we have planned a viscometer user seminar. We will invite Professor Toshiyuki Shikata, an emeritus professor at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, who is active in the field of rheology, to give a lecture covering the basics of viscosity and an introduction to viscoelasticity. There will also be opportunities to ask questions to Professor Shikata and our technical staff regarding any issues or uncertainties you may have in your daily work. We encourage you to consider participating in this opportunity. Seminar Overview: - We will provide an easy-to-understand lecture on the basics of viscosity and viscosity measurement. - We will explain points that can help improve the reproducibility of daily measurements and maintenance within your company. - We will introduce the dispersion of solutions and stability evaluation through live demonstrations. - You will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to Professor Shikata and Eihon Seiki's technical staff.

This is an opportunity to cultivate a "mindset for improvement" among young employees and enhance the autonomy of the entire organization. From "waiting for instructions" to "thinking and taking action" As you become more accustomed to your work, you will notice the waste and potential that exists. Now, let's gain the "power to change" with 5S! Benefits of 5S: 1. People grow 2. Time becomes more abundant 3. The workplace environment improves 4. 5S does not require significant costs 5. It can be implemented regardless of company size or job type 6. It is appreciated by stakeholders We will teach you the tips to transform 5S from something done because a superior said to do it, or only when there is time, into an enjoyable and sustainable practice. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.
