Tetrahedral-shaped zinc oxide single crystal (ZnO)

The tetrahedron-shaped structure enables the excellent functionality of the material "Amutetra."

Amtech's "Amutetra" is an innovative three-dimensional needle-like zinc oxide developed in-house. It is a groundbreaking material that significantly contributes to the functional enhancement of plastics and rubber, and it has been adopted in many development sites. One of its main features is that when blended as an additive in resins and rubber, it effectively suppresses the generation of outgassing such as hydrogen sulfide, helping to prevent issues like mold corrosion. Additionally, by forming a fine tetrapod needle-like structure on the surface of the material, it exhibits an astonishing superhydrophobic effect, providing water resistance and dirt-repellent properties that strongly repel water droplets. Furthermore, in rubber applications, the three-dimensional structure microscopically reinforces the material, improving braking performance, grip, and durability.
