Low GHG Emission, Lightweight Long Cellulose Fiber Reinforced Plastics
This cellulose is a renewable, inedible biomaterial that is at no risk of ever running out. Also, by incorporating this cellulose into resin as a reinforcing material, the CO2 emissions over the entire life cycle of the product can be reduced. It further contributes to reduced CO2 emissions thanks to the greater fuel efficiency achieved when it is used to lighten the parts of vehicles.
Advantages of long cellulose fiber reinforced thermoplastics
• Able to reduce CO2 emissions over the entire product life cycle.
• Contributes to reduced usage of petroleum-based materials.
• Because cellulose fibre of stable quality is used, there is less likelihood of gas production during the fabrication process compared with natural fibre reinforced resins, resulting in products of a stable quality.
