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. It is said to be a "dream new material" that is one-fifth the weight of steel but possesses more than five times its strength. Being plant-derived, it is also attracting attention as a sustainable resource.
