We displayed the Nanofiber
Mass Manufacturing Device
at the New Environmental
Exposition 2015”
We aim to promote the development ofapplied technologies for a wide variety
of applications.
A new material, nanofiber, is considered
revolutionary in the third millennium. Reports
imply that market analysts anticipate the market
for nanofiber materials will experience thefastest growth in the coming decade.
With its unique performance, nanofiber can beused in many areas in ways that have not been
seen before. It has a vast specific surface area,
porosity, number of micropores and microfiber
diameter. If you were to connect all the fibers of
about one gram of nanofiber end to end, thelength would be equivalent to one revolution
around the earth at the equator.

Oil absorbing materialWith an extremely high adsorption rate, it adsorbs
an amount of oil more than 50 times its own
weight. Excellent for recovery and cleanup of oil
spills in rivers and on coastlines, as well as for therecovery treatment of oil in an industrial oil-water
separation tank. Once the oil has been recovered,it can be recycled as oil material or as a
combustion improving agent, and in this way it
does not any place strain on the disposal system.
Other effective uses of this material include theprevention of machine oil leakage from equipment
and the prevention of oil mist generation.
When used as a material to treat BOD(biochemical oxygen demand) and normal hexane
in drains, grease traps, and sewage tanks locatedin complex facilities (airports, supermarkets, foodcourts, restaurants in Chinatown, etc.), itscleaning function is very highly rated. It has
attracted attention as a new material to addressenvironment-threatening pollutants.
* Advantages compared to our competitors'
products: can recover oil without absorbing water
due to its water-repellent properties; can bereused, recycled, or converted into oil without theneed for disposal.

Heat insulation material
Greater heat retention, lighter, and less expensive compared todown, it shows great promise for marketability.
The development of a wide range of products, including
bedding / clothing (cold-proof), apparel products, sportswear /household appliances / miscellaneous goods, is expected.

Use in a special heat / cold insulation system is underconsideration.
Products using a combination of existing and new heatinsulation materials are currently under development.

Agriculture material
The agriculture applications of this material, such ashydrophilic seedling mats, watering mats and greening
materials, can lead to increased productivity andreduced costs. It helps with planning for soil
remediation and green space expansion to achieve
stable production control. Biodegradable polylactic
acid (PLA) products are promising as a new ecofriendly recycled material that can be reduced to soil.

Filtering material
Development of air filters, water filters,
decontamination filters, virus adsorption
filters, and materials for addressing
PM2.5. The diameter of the nanosizedfiber ensures minimal pressure drop anda reduction of power consumption by the
fan motors of intake and exhaust filters.

Its hydrophilic properties also allow for
liquid filtration.

Descriptions of the “new material” for medical
use(Tentative name: Nanocera Sheet)
Uniquely functioning product in which speciallyprocessed natural ceramic is blended into thenanofiber (ingredient: PP)

When this fiber was added to the tap water inTokyo, the oxidation-reduction potential was
reduced from 619 to 193.

Plastic blended with special ceramic (40ºC)[Spectral emission luminance spectrum]
SampleSpectral emission luminance Specially processed natural ceramic blended
with nanofiber which have excellent specificsurface area creates a synergistic effect: the“growth rays” (= far infrared rays) emitted fromthe specially processed natural ceramic causes
the microvibration of water in the body
(intracellular fluid, blood, etc.) which stimulates
activation and increases antioxidant action. This
material takes a variety of forms, such as bed
sheets and comforters, for the benefit of theelderly and patients, and to improve fatigue andpoor physical condition.

We will propose creation of new products which are epoch-making and unique thatwill contribute to the spreading of applied technological development of the various
application of the Nanofiber Melt Spinning Machine which made mass-production ofhigh-performance, future-oriented, highly functional material nanofiber,
possible.
Our aim is to spread the applied technological development of nanofiber, a newmaterial that can be put into practical use in a wide range of fields such as soundabsorption, insulation material・oil absorbing material・heat insulation material・
high-performance textile material・agriculture material・decontamination, virus
protection, ・air filter, underwater filter etc.
With nanofiber, strong molecular forces work
allowing passage of air yet securing aｂsorption
power.
Nanofiber was extremely expensive because it
could not be mass produced, plus its application
had not been developed, but thanks to themelting method, we can now mass produce fiberthat is approximately 500 nano.
Wide variety of fiber ranging from chemical
products such as polypropylene, polyurethane,polyethylene, polyester, etc., to biodegradable
polylactic acid (PLA) can be manufactured.

Having been selected as a recipient of Tokyo Metropolitan Government 2015 “Customer Needs Evaluation・ Improvement
Support Subsidies” as well as the “Next Generation Innovation Creation Project 2020 Subsidies” of the same
year, we are striving to further enhance productivity, and to develop and manufacture a machine for shaped products.
We have received a “Special Award” at the New Value Creation Exhibition 2016. We have been interviewed by theOrganization of Small and Medium Enterprise and Regional Innovation, Japan, and introduced in “New Value Creation
NAVI”. http://shinkachi.smrj.go.jp/navi/webmagazine/theme/160030.html
