FP Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.
Adopted for analytical measurement equipment! As a constituent unit of Shimadzu’s main models.
“Green (R) Chip (R) CMF” cellulose fiber composite resin with flame retardancy ……
We jointly developed a compounding technology that combines resin and cellulose, easily flammable materials, while maintaining a certain level of strength and imparting flame retardant properties.
FP Chemical Industries Co., Ltd. (Head office: Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture, President and CEO: Hideo Akazawa, hereinafter referred to as FP Chemical Industries) and Tomogawa Paper Mills Co., Ltd. (Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Yoshio Inoue, hereinafter referred to as Tomoekawa Paper Mills) The flame-retardant grade of the cellulose fiber composite resin “Green Chip (R) CMF (R)” jointly developed by It will be adopted for analysis and measurement equipment from November of this year. This is the first time in the world that “cellulose fiber reinforced flame retardant composite resin” has been implemented in analytical and measuring equipment. “Green Chip (R) CMF (R)” is a sustainable material made by blending natural plant-derived cellulose fiber with thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene. Additionally, due to its high strength and other functionality, parts can be made thinner and lighter, and it is also highly recyclable, reducing environmental impact. Although it is desirable for the exterior and components of electrical equipment such as analyzers to be flammable from a safety perspective, it has been difficult to improve flame retardancy because petroleum-derived plastics and plant-derived cellulose are flammable. . Shimadzu Corporation, FP Chemical Industries, and Tomegawa Paper Mills have spent three years developing a compounding technology that combines flammable materials such as resin and cellulose while maintaining a certain level of strength and imparting flame retardant properties. In addition, 15 types of constituent units of Shimadzu’s main model liquid
chromatograph “Nexera series”, which will be shipped from late November, will be equipped with “Green Chip (R) CMF (R)” flame retardant grade (equivalent to UL94-V-0). We have decided to hire you. [Image 1
