Cellulose compound plastics Celblen

Novacel has developed an environmentally friendly thermoplastic,
applying cellulose technology from the Daicel Group.

Cellulose compound plastics
Celblen C

Celblen C is a composite plastic made from polypropylene (PP) plastic and cellulose, which is a natural fiber.
(The raw material for the fiber is plant-derived, contributing to reduced use of petroleum-based materials.)

Also, low specific gravity contributes to weight reduction. (Specific gravity: 2.6 for glass, 1.5 for cellulite)
This material possesses outstanding properties such as high rigidity, acoustic performance and low friction.

Properties

Environmental performance: (1)：Celblen C incorporates plant-derived materials, enabling reduced use of petroleum-based materials.
(2)：It generates no ash or other incineration residue during incineration, so waste material is reduced.
Special manufacturing method: A special manufacturing method is used to disperse the cellulose fibers at the micro level, creating an attractive appearance that is lacking in natural-fiber-strengthening plastics.
Stable quality: Cellulose fibers of stable quality are used, so less gas is generated during molding processes than with natural-fiber-strengthening plastics. The result is molded products of stable quality.
Superior qualities in molded products: Celblen C offers superior qualities in molded products. These include.
(1) High rigidity
(2) Pleasing tactile sensation
(3) Acoustic qualities (balance of specific gravity, rigidity and loss coefficient)
(4) Low friction (in comparison with inorganic fillers)
