We will exhibit Oji's cellulose nanofiber at the '2024 NAGOYA Automotive Technology Exhibition.'

It is a natural-derived high-performance additive that has functions such as high viscosity and high transparency, which are superior to conventional additives that do not exist in traditional products.

"AUROVISCO" is a water dispersion of ultra-fine wood fiber cellulose nanofiber (CNF) with a fiber width of 3nm. By adding a small amount to water-based liquid agents, the following outstanding functions are expected to be imparted. <Functions> - High transparency - High viscosity - dispersion stability - Water retention - Coating stability function - Thixotropy <Applications> - Thickening and dispersing agents for paints and inks: dispersion stability of pigments and additives / coating film stability - Cleaning and disinfectant solutions: dispersion of abrasives, etc., and coating film stability after application of liquid agents - Ceramic products such as concrete: reinforcing effect for ceramic products *The Oji Group has adopted the "phosphate esterification method" as an effective technique to reduce the energy required for fine processing during manufacturing. This method has enabled the production of high-quality (high transparency, high viscosity, thixotropic) cellulose nanofibers with higher production efficiency compared to conventional methods. In 2017, the cellulose nanofiber production facility began operation at the Oji Paper Tomioka Plant.

• Organic Natural Materials

Biomass content over 80% - Transparent, high-strength sheets made primarily of cellulose nanofibers / Further functional enhancement through composite with other materials!

The cellulose nanofiber transparent sheet "AUROVEIL" boasts glass-like transparency and dimensional stability while being made from wood-based materials. Additionally, it features high strength, high elasticity, and good flexibility. ■ Features of "AUROVEIL" - High transparency / High strength / High elasticity / Flexibility / High dimensional stability - Biomass content: Approximately 80% (This depends on the required functions and specifications, so please contact us for details) ■ Composite Cellulose Nanofiber Sheet We have established a technology to combine cellulose nanofiber sheets (AUROVEIL) with resins such as "polycarbonate" and "acrylic." This environmentally friendly composite material reduces the use of petrochemical and plastic materials while leveraging the characteristics of each material. * "Cellulose nanofiber" refers to fibers that have been finely disassembled to the nano level (one millionth of a millimeter) from cellulose, the main component of wood. It is said to be a "dream new material" that is one-fifth the weight of steel yet possesses more than five times its strength. Being plant-based, it is also gaining attention as a sustainable resource.

• Other polymer materials

New rubber products for the carbon-neutral era. Natural rubber × natural materials: cellulose nanofiber rubber composite CNF masterbatch.

This is a rubber composite masterbatch that combines unique phosphoric esterified CNF and natural rubber. Even with a small amount of addition, it improves elasticity and provides excellent strength and elongation, making it an environmentally friendly material expected to reduce the amount of carbon black derived from petroleum. <Features> Biomass Material... By replacing carbon black, the ratio of natural materials increases. Functional Improvement... Hardness and elongation comparable to or exceeding that of carbon black. Energy Saving and Durability... Increased strength and other effects are expected to enhance durability. Design Flexibility... The milky white masterbatch allows for colorful variations to be considered. Customization... We can accommodate requests for synthetic rubber such as NBR and HNBR, as well as optimization of fiber shapes. * "Cellulose Nanofiber" refers to fibers that have been finely disassembled to the nano level (one millionth of a millimeter) from cellulose, the main component of wood.
