Excellent in toughness, abrasion resistance, oil resistance, and UV resistance, making it suitable for applications aimed at reducing plastic use! A cellulose nanofiber reinforcement material with outstanding strength.
"Vulcanized fiber" is a material made by chemically treating pulp paper to create a gel-like cellulose nanofiber (CNF), which is then dried, resulting in a CNF reinforcement material with exceptional strength. It features a high tensile strength and low elongation, while having a density comparable to that of plastic. It has a rich track record as an alternative material to resins and plastics, and can be developed for industrial products as a global solution to "deplasticization." ★ With over 90% of its raw materials being natural cellulose, it is highly biodegradable and environmentally friendly. 【Key points of attention for this product】 ■ A paper-based reinforcement material composed of cellulose (wood fibers and cotton) ■ Toughness and moldability sufficient for use in kendo armor ■ Additionally possesses abrasion resistance, biodegradability, electrical insulation, oil resistance, and UV resistance ■ Suitable for abrasive substrates, various cases and boxes, stationery, etc. *Free sample sheets made from "vulcanized fiber" are currently available!

Company information
Hokuyou Oriental Fiber produces eco-friendly vulcanized fiber in a rich natural environment at the foot of Mount Fuji. Vulcanized fiber (nicknamed "fiber") is made from natural paper materials (cellulose), which allows it to possess the characteristics of paper while exhibiting far greater strength than paper. It also excels in final disposal, as it can return to the soil within the natural environmental cycle. As a top leader capable of balancing industrial development with next-generation environmental protection, we aim to continue providing the earth-friendly material "vulcanized fiber" to contribute to your daily life.
