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.
