Maruyoshi Michelman Co., the joint venture between Michelman and Maruyoshi Chemical Co.Ltd., has exhibited at the recently held FRP CON-EX 2015 expo, hosted by the Japan Reinforced Plastics Society (JPRS) held on October 15 to 16, 2015 at Akihabara UDX, Japan, where Hydrosize, the company's flagship brand of fibre sizings was presented.

Hydrosize, along with Michelman's complementary products, help composite manufacturers develop stronger, lighter, more durable and effective products. Michelman recently introduced new solutions to support advanced generations of lightweight, engineered resin composites increasingly being used in automotive applications. The company also unveiled new fibre sizings that comply with the European Plastic Implement Measure (EC/10/2011), and are being used in composites destined for food contact applications such as coffee machines, plastic dishes, food processors, and other appliances and kitchen items, according to a press release.

Innovative Hydrosize technology helps produce many critical composite properties including strength and colour stability, low weight to volume ratio, impact resistance, oil and water resistance, heat and corrosion resistance, as well as food contact compliance.

Michelman offers a full line of sizings and lubricants used to optimize glass, carbon and natural fibres used in PE, PP, Thermosets, PPS, PA, PC and PET/PBT resin composites by tailoring the surface chemistry of reinforcement fibres to the chemistry of the matrix resin.

Michelman is a global developer and manufacturer of environmentally friendly advanced materials for industry, offering solutions for the coatings, printing & packaging and industrial manufacturing markets. (GK)
