Advanced Annealing for Nylon Molding

Particularly for use with nylon molding, Semi Kogyo has installed a forced gas removal device to ensure visual defects such as gas burning do not occur. For annealing, they also have a forced absorption device that employs vapor, standardizing their control system against such defects as cracks due to insufficient strength. Because their annealing process uses vapor, the molded product does not get wet, and because dirt therefore does not adhere to the outside, exterior finishing work can be carried out.

Bioplastics - Polylactic Acid

Semi Kogyo produces bioplastic products from polylactic acid (PLA) and other materials, a field that is growing in popularity.

As the name implies, bioplastics are derived from plants such as corn. The first bioplastic products to be developed were office supplies, and as the level of technology has risen, additional features such as heat resistance have become possible. Work is now underway to develop semiconductor packaging out of bioplastic.

Bioplastics are growing in importance particularly given the urgency for cutting carbon dioxide emissions. Semi Kogyo is ahead of the curve in developing bioplastic products, overcoming problems that resins present.

As manufacturers make improvements to address bioplastic problems such as strength and heat resistance, the cost effectiveness will lead to wider production. Semi Kogyo will continue their development work, creating new added value for environmentally friendly products.
