About the Materials
① Milastomer™
Milastomer™ is a thermoplastic elastomer with light weight, good flexibility, abrasion resistance, good color development and excellent hygiene. Mitsui Chemicals cooperated in the production of colorful rings.
② STABiO™
STABiO™ is a bio-based isocyanate characterized by high transparency, non-yellowing and low-temperature polymerization. It succeeded in embedding an inkjet printed-circuit using a PET film which has a problem with heat resistance, and it was used as a transparent sensor.
③ SWP™
Mitsui Chemicals produced light tags that explained installation through soft light, taking advantage of SWP (synthetic pulp) with special functions such as a high level of whiteness and thermally inducted change into transparency.
