Consideration for the Earth and Humanity: "100% Plant-Based, Biodegradable Foam Beads" Achieving Coexistence with Plastic

Both the raw resin and the foaming agent are entirely non-petroleum based! They do not generate excess CO2 during the manufacturing and disposal processes.

【Plant-based, biodegradable plastic foam bead material that is gentle on people and the Earth】 "Plant-based biodegradable foam beads" are 100% biodegradable products made using an environmentally friendly method that does not involve chemical foaming agents. Thanks to our unique "supercritical inert gas foaming molding technology," we have successfully molded foam beads from biodegradable resin PLA (polylactic acid), which was previously challenging. This high expansion foaming also allows for a reduction in raw materials. As global concern over plastic waste issues grows, this new environmentally friendly product can be applied in various fields such as fishing and agricultural tools, packaging materials, medical products, and decorative/display items. 【Features】 ■ 100% plant-based ■ 100% biodegradable ■ Carbon neutral ■ Low environmental impact foaming agents used *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• 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.

Products for three-dimensional modeling, decoration, and displays made using plant-based, biodegradable foam PLA beads shaped by our unique technology that considers both people and the Earth.

【PLA (Polylactic Acid) Microcellular Foam Products Considerate of People and the Earth】 Our unique "Inert Gas Foaming Technology" has successfully enabled the microcellular foaming of biodegradable resin PLA (Polylactic Acid) using environmentally friendly foaming agents such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2) at high ratios, which was previously difficult. By not using chemical foaming agents, our products are 100% biodegradable and carbon neutral. As a material that addresses global environmental issues, it can be freely shaped into food trays, packaging materials, fishing and agricultural supplies, medical products, as well as store displays, exhibition booths, stage decorations, and display items.

• Drying 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.

• Extrusion Machine

An automatic quantitative supply system for main materials (raw materials) and auxiliary materials (additives, etc.) that can be linked to an extrusion molding machine! Precise control of the raw material addition rate is possible!

This is a feeder that quantitatively supplies the main material (raw material) and auxiliary materials (additives, etc.) to the extrusion molding machine. It precisely controls the main feeder for the main material, the sub-feeder for the auxiliary material, and the gas (foaming agent), linking their respective addition rates. By combining it with Plasteco, a manufacturer specializing in inert gas foaming, extrusion molding machines, dehumidifying dryers with stirring, gas supply units, etc., it is possible to construct a "supercritical inert gas extrusion foaming system" that is more suitable for foaming.
