As an alternative to stretch film, we have developed a non-slip paper called "Zureen," which features our unique anti-slip coating on paper. This product utilizes the material and coating technologies that our company has cultivated over many years and is a paper product with high anti-slip performance on one or both sides. By simply placing it under your cargo, it can prevent slipping and keep the cargo stable against shaking and tilting, allowing for a reduction in environmental impact through the replacement of logistics packaging such as stretch film, thereby reducing plastic waste. Additionally, it can be reused and recycled. (Reduction of plastic, elimination of plastic) With a high level of surface smoothness and excellent aesthetic qualities in white, it can be used in various scenarios such as warehouses, stores, offices, and homes as a cushioning material between slippery items or for earthquake preparedness. We encourage you to utilize it under or between a wide variety of items. For more details, please download the catalog and feel free to contact us.

It is primarily made from cellulose, and when plowed into the soil after harvest, it decomposes in the soil, eliminating the burden of stripping work and waste disposal costs. Furthermore, while crops are growing, it can suppress the rise in soil temperature compared to polyethylene mulch sheets (according to our research). This has the effect of reducing root rot in crops due to heat, making it particularly suitable for crops grown in the summer.

The self-repairing waterproof sheet for leak prevention can be utilized as the absorption layer of a self-repairing waterproof sheet. If only the waterproof layer is used, any damage that causes a hole can lead to leakage. However, the high water-absorbent resin (fiber) blended into the sheet absorbs water and swells to seal the hole, preventing leakage. It can be used in waterproof civil engineering works such as final disposal sites, agricultural reservoirs, river embankments, and retention basins. As an absorption layer for the self-repairing waterproof sheet, it is common to have a bentonite layer sandwiched between the non-woven fabric of the surface material and the backing material. The disadvantage is that the sheet is very heavy, requiring large machinery for installation. Comparison with bentonite-based sheets: ◆ Work is made easier! A significant weight reduction of 25% improves workability! Large machinery is unnecessary, and the lightweight nature makes handling easier. ◆ Work efficiency is improved! The roll length is up to about five times longer, enhancing workability! The sheet is flexible and easy to handle, and the significantly increased roll length improves work efficiency. Features of the self-repairing waterproof sheet for leak prevention: - It has excellent waterproofing properties. - Even if sharp objects penetrate the sheet, it self-repairs and is less likely to leak. - It is lightweight and has excellent workability.

Remarkably, we have developed a water-repellent sound-absorbing material made from pulp non-woven fabric that completely floats on water and even rises when pressed down with a finger. This sound-absorbing material, characterized by its almost non-existent water absorption, is made from a porous material called "airlaid based on pulp." It is ideal for areas where water absorption is not acceptable. Specifically, this includes sound-absorbing materials covering components that may condense or in environments with high humidity. Our manufacturing process uses pulp as the main raw material to create a porous structure with a high bulk and void ratio that absorbs sound. Among porous sound-absorbing materials, the surface of natural pulp not only has a special structure called microfibrils but also, due to its hollow structure, secures air layers within the fibers, which is expected to provide unique sound-absorbing effects different from other materials.

We have added the value of "flame retardant" to Kinocross's air raid non-woven fabric! By applying flame retardant treatment to pulp fibers, we have created a uniform flame-retardant sheet. The main raw material is pulp fiber, which excels in safety and environmental considerations. Due to its flame-resistant properties, it can be used for wipes and packaging in situations where fire hazards are present, such as when using fire-related equipment. The characteristic voids of Kinocross provide excellent water and oil absorption properties, making it useful for applications such as liquid-impregnated materials in equipment, electrical rooms, and substations. ◆ Oxygen Index: 26% or higher (JIS K7201) ◆ Char Length: 135mm, equivalent to flame retardant Class 3 (JIS Z2150) ◆ Flash Point: >300°C, no ignition up to 300°C (according to the Fire Service Act Hazardous Materials Verification Test Manual) ◆ Ignition Point: 504°C (ASTM E659)

This is an injection molding pellet that uniformly disperses plant-derived cellulose fibers and polyolefin-based resins using proprietary technology. Through injection molding processing, it becomes a cellulose resin molded product that balances rigidity and impact resistance, contributing to the reduction of petroleum-based plastic usage. As indicated by its high whiteness, it also causes minimal damage to cellulose fibers due to heat, allowing for the incorporation of functions that fully utilize the properties of cellulose. When combined with colored pellets, the possibilities for colorful reduced-plastic products expand. Due to its very high impact resistance, it is expected to be applicable to various components, including automotive interiors.

The web is formed using the airlaid method, which disperses pulp fibers and other materials in the air rather than in water. This allows for the creation of a bulky web. While maintaining the bulkiness of the web, a water-based adhesive (binder) is evenly sprayed using a unique method and then processed into sheets after drying. The binder can be selected based on its intended use, considering factors such as food compatibility and strength. There are products made from wood pulp, such as "Kinocross," products with a layer of low basis weight long fiber rayon on the surface of Kinocross called "Palkross," products with added synthetic fibers called "Highcross," and products blended with polymer absorbents called "B-SAP." It is also characterized by the ability to color in relatively small lots. Ipros introduces processed products based on "Kinocross," "Palkross," and "Highcross." *For more details, please visit the official website http://www.kinocloth.co.jp. *Some TDS non-woven fabrics, such as "Soft Sheet," are also included.

It is mainly used for receipts at convenience stores, mass retailers, department stores, and retail stores. There is also a lineup of colored thermal paper with colored surfaces. ▼ About Normal and High Preservation Grades Thermal paper differs from regular paper in that it has a special chemical coating on its surface. The chemicals coated on the surface of the paper undergo a melting reaction and develop color when heat is applied by a thermal printer. This chemical reaction can fade the colored areas over time or when in contact with chemicals such as alcohol and oil. The high preservation grade is designed to suppress deterioration from external factors, making the printed text less likely to fade.
