Adsorbs a variety of unpleasant odors! We introduce a new layered inorganic deodorizing additive.

"Shimonko Light" is a white powder for deodorants that has a unique layered structure. It physically captures bad odors in the "interlayers" where crystals overlap and traps them inside. The ions in the interlayers and surface layer can bind with odor components both physically and chemically, making it possible to suppress the re-release of bad odors. It exhibits a high deodorizing effect against hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and others, significantly reducing the "re-release" of absorbed odors compared to activated carbon. [Features] ■ Physically captures and traps bad odors inside due to its unique layered structure ■ Adsorbs odor components from both physical and chemical perspectives ■ Capable of controlling particle shapes such as hexagonal prisms and nanoparticles ■ Exhibits a high deodorizing effect against hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and others ■ Significantly suppresses the "re-release" of absorbed odors compared to activated carbon *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

The excellent vulcanization promotion effect greatly improves the properties of rubber!

"META-Z 102" is a high-purity active zinc oxide synthesized by a wet method. Compared to regular zinc oxide, it has a smaller primary particle size and a higher specific surface area, resulting in high reactivity. The reaction efficiency with acidic substances such as stearic acid and vulcanization accelerators is significantly improved. Due to its high reactivity, it can form a dense and uniform crosslinking within rubber, enhancing the tensile strength of the rubber. It also creates a dense crosslinking network, improving compression set (C-set). 【Features】 ■ Improved reaction efficiency ■ Increased crosslink density ■ Improved compression set *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

• Composite Materials

Composite active zinc oxide that simultaneously improves the physical properties of rubber and reduces costs!

The "META-Z L Series" is a composite active zinc oxide that uses calcium carbonate as a core (base) and is densely coated with zinc oxide on its surface. Due to its small primary particle size and high specific surface area, it exhibits equal or superior rubber properties even when blended with the same amount of general zinc oxide (equivalent substitution). By replacing the high-density zinc oxide with calcium carbonate, it contributes to the overall lightweight of the product. Additionally, calcium carbonate serves as a base, suppressing "agglomeration" in the rubber and improving the processability of the rubber. 【Features】 ■ Low specific gravity and lightweight product ■ Excellent dispersibility ■ Cost reduction *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

• Composite Materials

Simultaneously achieve quality improvement and cost reduction for PVC products! Reduce foaming temperature by 30°C.

"META-Z L40" is a composite active zinc oxide that uniformly combines active zinc oxide with calcium carbonate. Due to its small primary particle size and high specific surface area, the contact efficiency with foaming agents is significantly improved. It enables foaming promotion at lower temperatures, reducing the foaming temperature of PVC by 30°C. Compared to general zinc oxide, it can reduce zinc content by 60%, and due to its high activity, it exhibits equivalent performance with a smaller amount of addition, thus reducing the overall raw material costs of the formulation. [Features] ■ Promotes foaming at low temperatures ■ Excellent dispersibility ■ Cost reduction *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

About ROAD: The "Roundtable on the Purpose of Autonomous Driving (ROAD)" conference series has evolved into a unique platform for interdis-ciplinary dialogue and international collaboration in the field of autonomous driving and autonomous mobility. Established in 2016, ROAD has brought together researchers, industry leaders, and public sector stakeholders from six countries across three continents. Based on this background, the upcoming ROAD 2026 will focus on "safety” and "driving AI”—the final pieces of the autonomous driving puzzle—to advance discussions on establishing the foundational framework for ensuring safety quality and obtaining regular-tory approval for autonomous driving. We also intend to discuss the international commonalities and differences regarding the social value brought about by ADS vehicles in terms of automation, intelligent driving, and mobility. We have established a total of five compelling themes for the Round Workshops, consisting of two topics related to “The Last Piece” and three topics related to the social value of ADS, as shown below. 1) Round Workshop 1 - Horizons of E2E Driving AI → Can AI Understand the Driving Environment Like Humans? 2) Round Workshop 2 - Beyond the Unknown: Safety Cases for ADS → Can Safety Ever Be Proven? 3) Round Workshop 3 - Envisioning Smart City Mobility → Can Smart City Mobility Bridge the Mobility Divide? 4) Round Workshop 4 - Logistics Enhancement Through Autonomous Tracking → Will Logistics Become Human-Free? 5) Round Workshop 5 - The Evolution of CASE: SDV/AIDV → Will Automakers Become AI Companies? We hope you’ll all join us!

[Instructor] Yuichiro Kabushiki, Partner Lawyer at TMI Comprehensive Law Office [Key Lecture Content] With the spread of AI, there is growing attention on the civil liability of developers, providers, and users of AI. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will publish "Guidelines on the Interpretation and Application of Civil Liability in AI Utilization" in April 2026, and the Ministry of Justice will also establish an expert meeting to examine civil liability related to unauthorized use of images and voices generated by AI in the same month. As the full enforcement of the AI Promotion Act and the revision of AI guidelines are underway, it is necessary to design and operate governance based on the potential responsibilities that may arise retrospectively. In this seminar, based on the guidelines from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and drawing on litigation practice experience as a judge and lawyer, we will organize the basic framework for assessing civil liability and explain fundamental methods for designing and operating governance based on risk analysis. Furthermore, we will examine the framework for civil liability and the design and operation of governance using hypothetical cases that are likely to pose practical issues.

In this seminar, we will welcome Mr. Satoru Hayami from Waseda University, who will explain the latest trends in AI utilization in manufacturing, as well as the evolution of technologies such as agent-based AI and physical AI, and the opportunities and key points for practical application in the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, Mr. Tsubasa Shibata, representative of Next Opt, will introduce processes aimed at practical implementation, incorporating actual case studies from manufacturing sites. We hope you will envision the "potential for AI utilization in your company" and take home hints that will lead to improvements in your operations starting tomorrow. We look forward to your participation.
