Organic modified layered silicates (clay materials) that impart reinforcing effects to thermoplastic compounds.

BYK-MAX CT 4270 allows for improvements in low density, surface appearance, flow length, dimensional stability, and scratch resistance by being added to TPO or polyolefin compounds in amounts of less than 10 weight percent, preferably less than 6 weight percent. It also enhances mechanical properties such as tensile strength. The intended applications are inorganic fillers or glass-filled compounds for TPO-based automotive parts. Unlike other commercially available clay products, BYK-MAX CT 4270 is based on mixed-form clay technology, which facilitates easy dispersion. The organic modification of BYK-MAX CT 4270 is designed to withstand thermal history in the compound. Our proprietary mixed-form clay exhibits excellent dispersibility. Additionally, changes in melt rheology can improve flow length within the mold and reduce resin temperature, leading to shorter cycle times. In composite formulations, a resin-rich surface is often observed. While increasing tensile strength, it is important to note that BYK-MAX CT 4270 may reduce impact strength. To avoid this, a comprehensive evaluation of the entire formulation is necessary. Blending with impact modifiers in the base resin is crucial for achieving the final performance results.

Non-halogen flame-retardant thermoplastic plastic flame retardant additive. Layered silicate (clay) filler that improves gas barrier properties.

BYK-MAX CT 4260 improves flame retardant properties by promoting dripping suppression and char formation, making it suitable for use in halogen-free flame-retardant thermoplastic compounds. BYK-MAX CT 4260 can reduce the amount of fillers such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide. This results in improved processing characteristics and physical properties, as well as a reduction in the weight of the compound. The barrier properties against oxygen, water vapor, and hydrocarbons can be enhanced by using BYK-MAX CT 4260. In bioplastics such as thermoplastic plastics and polylactic acid (PLA), the melt viscosity increases, allowing for improved dimensional stability during extrusion.

Organic modified phyllosilicate (clay) fillers that improve the mechanical properties and gas barrier performance of thermoplastic compounds for applications such as films and automobiles.

BYK-MAX CT 4255 is a type of inorganic filler designed as an additive for thermoplastic compounds to improve mechanical properties such as tensile strength and gas barrier properties. Depending on the type of gas, it can reduce permeability by up to 40%. Due to its unique organic modification, it exhibits high thermal stability during processing.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm.

On September 11, 2025, AC Tasarim, a cable blade manufacturer, and our company signed a sales agency agreement for Japan. This was also announced in the company's press release and on social media. Founded in Turkey in 2003, AC Tasarim manufactures flexible EMI cable shields (copper braid), polyester braid, meta-aramid braid (Nomex cable sleeves), flat copper braid busbars/ground braids, all AA59569-coded copper braids, and released AeroBraid in 2025, the world's lightest EMI braid. All manufactured copper braids are certified to military standards. AC Tasarim products hold key certifications including VDE/VG certification, German Federal Armed Forces certification, NATO NSN coding, AS9100 quality certification, and JOSCAR certification. Cable braids and EMI shielding products, essential for wire harnesses in the aerospace and defense industries, are becoming increasingly difficult to source as demand rises. TC Tasarim products are stocked by manufacturers and distributors to ensure quick response times.

Starting from September 22, 2025 (Monday), we will begin accepting orders for five new lineups tailored to various applications in the "N-SELECT" series of transport vehicles. In this new development, we will introduce the following five models that maintain the basic performance of the traditional N-SELECT while addressing more specialized needs: SC (Super Carrier) - Based on the traditional N-SELECT, this model is specialized for transporting immobile and accident vehicles. It is ideal for the automotive maintenance and towing industry. RC (Racing Carrier) - Designed with a gentle loading and unloading angle, this model is perfect for transporting sports cars and lowered vehicles. TP (Transporter) - A standard model optimized for the transportation of general passenger vehicles, suitable for a wide range of industries. ONE (Single Vehicle Loading Model) - A simple and efficient design dedicated to loading one vehicle. Recommended for small-scale transport and individual entrepreneurs. RS (Rescue) - A single vehicle loading model equipped with a crane, enhancing its capability to respond in accident scenes and tight spaces. With these lineups, N-SELECT evolves into a product group that meets a wider variety of on-site needs. We will continue to promote product development that reflects the voices from the field as the "preferred transport vehicle."
