These cathode materials and precursors significantly improve the performance カジノ シークレット 登録 lithium-ion secondary batteries. Widespread deployment カジノ シークレット 登録 hybrid vehicles equipped with batteries using these materials will help reduce GHG emissions.

TPEs for non-painted airbag covers

Polyolefin thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), カジノ シークレット 登録fering superb appearance quality, eliminate the need for the design surface painting process and contribute to the reduction カジノ シークレット 登録 the use カジノ シークレット 登録 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and CO2emissions.

HEAカジノ シークレット 登録RAGE®for building materials and COMFORMER®for textile products

HEAカジノ シークレット 登録RAGE®and COMFORMER®are made カジノ シークレット 登録 a heat storage plastic material that is designed to absorb and release heat in specific temperature ranges. Used in building materials and textile products, these products maintain appropriate temperatures inside houses and clothes and contribute to the reduction カジノ シークレット 登録 environmental impact.
