NOK Develops New Biomass Material for Urethane Packing, Balancing 48% Biomass Content with 'Iron Rubber' Elasticity and Toughness

NQ Score 86/100

N1 Content Completeness 90

AI Summary (NQ-processed)

NOK Corporation has developed a new biomass material (polyurethane elastomer) for urethane packing with 48% biomass content. By shifting from petroleum to plant-derived polymers, it reduces CO2 emissions during raw material production by approximately 48% while maintaining the elasticity and toughness of the company's proprietary 'Iron Rubber'. The material contributes to reducing environmental impact in hydraulic equipment using biodegradable oil and has been certified with the Japan Organic Resources Association's (JORA) 'Biomass Mark'.
