• Composite Materials

This is a block board made of biodegradable foam beads that are non-petroleum-based, carbon-neutral, and have low environmental impact. Ideal for packaging materials, cushioning, and various three-dimensional shapes!

Beads made from plant-derived, biodegradable resin PLA (polylactic acid) are foamed using a unique extrusion foaming technology developed by Plasteco, which utilizes low environmental impact inert gases (CO2, N2) and are then steam-formed into block and board shapes. They can be processed into your desired shape through cutting and other methods! They can be used as an alternative to traditional expanded polystyrene for packaging materials and cushioning, as well as for three-dimensional objects and display items. High expansion foaming with a safe and inexpensive foaming agent (inert gas) also allows for a reduction in raw materials! PLA resin, which has a high raw material cost, can be foamed and molded at a low cost.

Please consult with us. We overturn the conventional wisdom of plastic! Environmentally friendly, high value-added foaming technology.

The "Supercritical Inert Gas Foaming Technology" is a high-value-added micro-foaming technology that considers both people and the environment. It does not have the explosiveness or flammability of hydrocarbon-based physical foaming agents, so there is no need to make the equipment explosion-proof. It is also free from the toxicity of chemical foaming agents and has no residual effects, making it excellent for recycling. Our company provides comprehensive support from raw materials to the entire molding equipment and the development of the molding process. Additionally, our foaming molding machines come standard with extrusion molding and RIM molding. If you are considering foaming molding, please feel free to contact us. 【Features】 ■ The foaming agent is non-explosive and non-flammable, eliminating the need for explosion-proof equipment. ■ It has a low global warming potential, taking the global environment into consideration. ■ It is non-toxic and has no residual effects, making it excellent for recycling. ■ It is capable of forming fine bubbles of several micrometers. ■ It can also be applied to foaming of crystalline resins, which were difficult to foam at high ratios with conventional methods. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

• Gas recovery/treatment equipment

Renewed with a new model! This is a gas supply device capable of precisely and stably supplying inert gases necessary for foam molding, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2).

【Renewal & New Model Launch!】 - Smaller and lighter than the previous model - Equipped with a 12-inch large screen touch panel - Precise control of gas supply volume is possible through data linkage with various molding machines Foaming with CO₂ or N₂ experiences significant changes in bubble diameter and foaming conditions due to minor fluctuations in supply volume. Additionally, traditional pump methods using pressure control have seen supply volume fluctuate due to pressure changes at the gas injection point of the molding machine. Plasteco's supercritical inert gas quantitative supply device maintains a constant supply mass and automatically adjusts the supply pressure to follow the pressure at the supply point, enabling precise control of the supply volume at all times and achieving uniform and fine foaming. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the gas addition amount through data linkage (optional) with extrusion and injection molding machines, stabilization of foaming ratios and reduction in the weight of molded products become possible. It can accommodate a wide range of applications, from small flow rates for small molding machines to large flow rates for large molding machines, as well as RIM molding and other uses. It also supports flow control, high-pressure compatibility, and other options, making it suitable for various applications.

The applications of Hyper CLT sheets are not limited to specific locations. Essentially, many civil engineering sites that have previously used steel plates are candidates for consideration. Wood CLT can be utilized in various places such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, material yards, storage areas, temporary parking lots, and worker pathways. Of course, there are cases where steel plates are more suitable depending on site conditions, such as in areas with heavy loads or where heavy machinery needs to turn. The important thing is not to replace everything, but to use them appropriately according to the ground conditions, machinery, and intended use. Hyper CLT sheets are lightweight, easy to install and remove, and have unique characteristics of wood, such as reducing glare and metallic sounds, and fixing CO2. Furthermore, it is a **registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS "TH-250021-A."** By utilizing wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, it provides a new option for places that have previously used steel plates.

Event Date: October 7 (Wednesday) to October 9 (Friday), 2026 Time: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Venue: Intex Osaka Our company will be exhibiting at the 29th Monozukuri World Design and Manufacturing Solutions Exhibition, which will be held at Intex Osaka from October 7 (Wednesday) to October 9 (Friday), 2026. At the venue, we will showcase the upgraded "ReMacs Hybrid," as well as the eagerly awaited production management system for the precast concrete industry, "ReMacs TypePca," which will be unveiled for the first time following its release at the end of May! We will also display various solutions, including the newly equipped "AI Drawing Search System" with OCR functionality! We sincerely look forward to your visit.

In civil engineering sites, it is important to clearly communicate not only safety and workability but also "what kind of initiatives the site is undertaking." Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering mats that utilize wood CLT. They look significantly different from conventional steel plates, so when laid at site entrances, viewing routes, or material yards, they create a strong visual impact. In particular, during inspections by clients, site tours, and public open days for local residents, the use of wood, environmental considerations, and the application of new technologies can be conveyed in a "visible form." Additionally, they are lightweight and easy to install and remove, and they offer practical benefits such as reducing glare and metal noise, as well as CO2 fixation. Hyper CLT mats are registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS as "TH-250021-A." They combine wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, making them a new temporary material that can impressively convey the initiatives of the site.
