Sumitomo Chemical’s booth
Hall number: 6.2
Booth number: C61
We will introduce Sumitomo Chemical’s new high-rigidity polyethylene. Applying Sumicle® to the base layer of plastic packages and containers makes it possible to produce single material packages and containers using polyethylene. This contributes to achieving horizontal recycling, which is the recycling of used plastics back to resin that can be used in similar applications.
Very low density Easy Processing Polyethylene (EPPE)
Sumitomo Chemical’s original polyethylene, Easy Processing Polyethylene (EPPE), has an excellent balance of strength and processability. The newly developed very low density EPPE has the same softness compared to polyolefin elastomers (POE), and contributes to reducing energy consumption during processing due to its low extrusion load.
Environmentally sustainable polyolefin
We will present our projects to produce environmentally sustainable polyolefin with quality equivalent to conventional polyolefin by using renewable ethanol and waste plastics as raw materials.
Liquid crystal polymers (LCP) have excellent fluidity that enables the design of thin-wall products. In addition, LCP retain their physical properties even after repeated recycling. Due to this, , LCP can be easily and effectively recycled, reducing the amount of material used and material waste, as well as contributing to lower costs and reduced environmental impact.
