We will exhibit Oji's cellulose nanofiber at the "2024 NAGOYA Automotive Technology Exhibition."

It is a natural-derived high-performance additive that has functions such as high viscosity and high transparency, which are superior to conventional additives.

"AUROVISCO" is a water dispersion of ultra-fine wood fiber cellulose nanofiber (CNF) with a fiber width of 3nm. By adding just a small amount to water-based liquid agents, the following outstanding functions are expected to be imparted. <Functions> - High transparency - High viscosity - dispersion stability - Water retention - Coating stability function - Thixotropic <Applications> - Thickening and dispersing agents for paints and inks: dispersion stability of pigments and additives / coating film stability - Cleaning and disinfectant solutions: dispersion of abrasives, etc., and coating film stability after application of liquid agents - Ceramic products such as concrete: reinforcement effect for ceramic products *The Oji Group has adopted the "phosphate esterification method" as an effective technique to reduce the energy used for fine processing during manufacturing. This method enables the production of high-quality (high transparency, high viscosity, thixotropic) cellulose nanofibers with higher production efficiency compared to conventional methods. In 2017, the cellulose nanofiber production facility began operation at the Oji Paper Tomioka Plant.

• Concrete admixture

Biomass content over 80% - Transparent, high-strength sheets made primarily of cellulose nanofibers / Further enhancement of functionality through composite with other materials!

The cellulose nanofiber transparent sheet "AUROVEIL" boasts glass-like transparency and dimensional stability while being made from wood-based materials. Additionally, it features high strength, high elasticity, and good flexibility. ■ Features of "AUROVEIL" - High transparency / High strength / High elasticity / Flexibility / High dimensional stability - Biomass content: Approximately 80% (depending on required functions and specifications, please contact us for details) ■ Composite Cellulose Nanofiber Sheet We have established a technology to combine cellulose nanofiber sheets (AUROVEIL) with resins such as "polycarbonate" and "acrylic." This environmentally friendly composite material reduces the use of fossil-based and plastic materials while leveraging the characteristics of each material. * "Cellulose nanofiber" refers to fibers that have been finely disassembled to the nano level (one millionth of a millimeter) from cellulose, the main component of wood. It is said to be a "dream new material" that is one-fifth the weight of steel yet possesses more than five times its strength. Being plant-based, it is also attracting attention as a sustainable resource.

New rubber products for the carbon-neutral era. Natural rubber × natural materials: cellulose nanofiber rubber composite CNF masterbatch.

This is a rubber composite masterbatch that combines unique phosphoric acid esterified CNF and natural rubber. Even with a small amount of addition, it improves elasticity and provides excellent strength and elongation, making it an environmentally friendly material that is expected to reduce the amount of carbon black derived from petroleum. <Features> Biomass Material... By replacing carbon black, the ratio of natural materials increases. Enhanced Functionality... Hardness and elongation comparable to or exceeding that of carbon black. Energy Saving & Durability... Increased durability is expected due to effects such as improved strength. Design Flexibility... The milky white masterbatch allows for consideration of colorful variations. Customization... We also accept requests for compatibility with synthetic rubbers such as NBR and HNBR, as well as optimization of fiber shapes. * "Cellulose Nanofiber" refers to fibers that have been finely disassembled to the nano level (one millionth of a millimeter) from cellulose, the main component of wood.

From measurement devices to point cloud processing and analysis software, the latest solutions come together! We propose numerous cutting-edge technologies and products that solve on-site challenges in a one-stop manner. It's not just about seeing; it's about experiencing, consulting, and bringing it back to the field. At the venue, we will showcase the latest measurement devices and solutions, including 3D laser scanners, handheld 3D scanners, LiDAR drones, and 3DGS (Gaussian Splatting). Additionally, we will unveil surprise new products!!

We will be exhibiting at the "Green Cross Exhibition 2026 - Fair for Creating Safety for Workers." At the exhibition venue, we will have a hands-on corner for the "FF Mirror," which can be simply attached to walls to prevent collisions and address near-miss incidents. We would be grateful if you could visit the venue and share your opinions and requests with us. Thank you very much. Date: September 16 (Wednesday) to 18 (Friday). Please check the exhibition website for the different opening hours each day. Venue: Sapporo City Sports Exchange Facility Tsudoumu (Booth Number D-34) *Pre-registration is required for entry.

Although quality data and process data are accumulated, there are challenges such as "missing signs of abnormalities" and "being unable to identify the cause when problems occur." In the seminar, we will cover practical methods for quality management and cause analysis, introducing a data-driven approach to problem-solving. We will explain analytical approaches that can be utilized in manufacturing sites, from quality monitoring to cause exploration when problems arise, including demonstrations. 【Target Audience】 Quality management personnel in manufacturing Production technology and process improvement personnel Those who want to utilize process data and quality data Those who feel challenges in cause analysis when problems occur 【Overview】 1) Taking Quality Management to the Next Step - Utilizing JMP Beyond Control Charts Using quality management tasks as a theme, we will cover the flow from control charts and process capability analysis using JMP to cause exploration, as well as methods for sharing analysis results. 2) Data-Driven Cause Analysis and Quality Improvement An analytical approach to efficiently narrow down the causes of problems using process data and quality data. ▼ Details & Registration https://www.jmp.com/ja/events/seminars/discovery-seminar-series/2026/10-30

As the labor shortage becomes more serious, what kind of business design is necessary to consistently maintain cleaning quality in commercial facilities? In this webinar, we will introduce the use of cleaning robots for operational efficiency, the division of roles with staff, and case studies from both domestic and international implementations. Additionally, we will explain the features of the KLEENBOT C30/C40, the selection of models, and the process from demonstration to implementation.
