LUVOCOM VAP sliding compound is a wear-resistant and sliding compound resin developed for automotive vacuum pumps. Based on PPS and PEEK, it is a special compound resin that possesses excellent friction and wear resistance characteristics and high mechanical strength, capable of withstanding high-speed rotation.

We are pleased to announce that West One has started domestic sales of CNT compound resin. Through our unique formulation and compound technology, we have developed a material that offers high cleanliness and excellent static electricity countermeasures. This material has already been used overseas in applications requiring high cleanliness, such as the front-end processes of semiconductors. For more details, please visit the product detail page.

We are pleased to announce that West One has started domestic sales of GITOP high-performance polyamide resin compounds. Thanks to our unique formulation and compounding technology, we have achieved low water absorption along with high strength and rigidity. This polyamide material boasts excellent heat resistance and is also resistant to long-term thermal degradation, while offering superior moldability. We offer multiple grades, including glass fiber reinforced grades (up to 60% GF) and flame-retardant grades, allowing you to select materials with optimal properties for your applications. For more details, please visit the product detail page.

We are pleased to announce that West One has started domestic sales of American-made sliding silicone masterbatch materials. This masterbatch material is in pellet form, highly filled with ultra-high molecular weight silicone in thermoplastic resin, and by adding this masterbatch to thermoplastic resin, it is expected to improve wear resistance and sliding properties. For more details, please refer to the product detail page.

We are pleased to introduce the biodegradable modified masterbatch "Cycle+." Cycle+ is a masterbatch additive that modifies polyethylene and polypropylene to be biodegradable. This groundbreaking masterbatch allows for the entire resin to be modified to be biodegradable by adding it to PE or PP resins. Since only 2% of the masterbatch needs to be added, there is no concern about compromising the original physical properties of PE or PP. Products molded with Cycle+ begin to decompose after the expected usage period and ultimately break down completely into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. While some similar biodegradable modifiers leave microplastics after decomposition, a significant feature of Cycle+ is that it decomposes without leaving any microplastics behind. It meets food safety standards such as those set by the FDA, making it suitable for food contact applications. (Films made with Cycle+ comply with Japan's Food Sanitation Act.)

Westone will exhibit at the 7th Advanced Functional Plastics Exhibition held at Makuhari Messe from December 5 (Wednesday) to December 7 (Friday), 2018. We plan to showcase our ultra-high-strength resin compound "Kyron MAX" and high-heat-resistant purge material "SUPERNOVA PLUS." We sincerely look forward to your visit. 【Overview】 ■ Dates: December 5 (Wednesday) to December 7 (Friday), 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (until 5:00 PM on the last day) ■ Venue: Makuhari Messe ■ Booth Number: 33-19 (Hall 5) ■ Exhibited Products: - Cleaning agents and purge materials for molding machines 'SUPERNOVA PLUS' - Fiber-reinforced plastic 'Kyron MAX' and others
