Asahi Kasei
The Asahi Kasei Group, founded in 1922, is a diversified multinational manufacturer centered on chemistry. Asahi Kasei has a large portfolio of products ranging from home construction to medical devices.
The engineering plastics business is one of the core businesses of Asahi Kasei, and mainly consists of three engineering plastics: polyamide (LEONATM resin), polyacetal (TENACTM, TENACTM-C) and modified polyphenylene ether (XYRONTM).
In recent years, by leveraging our years of experience of foam processing technology, we have created a UL94-V0 fire-retardant closed-cell mPPE foam beads product (modified polyphenylene ether) under the brand name SunForceTM.
The inherent stable mechanical properties of mPPE, especially its superior compressive strength under elevated temperatures with the added advantage of its high fire resistance have enabled SunForceTM to be especially successful adopted by leading tier-one companies (lithium-ion battery manufacturers), and OEMs in the EV industry.
