This new material can meet the diverse and highly demanding requirements of the automotive, construction machinery, electric equipment and electronics fields for sealants and fiber treatment materials. It can be used as an alternative for hydrogenated nitrile rubber, a high-quality, high-performance elastomer, as well as other materials. A number of customers are currently evaluating samples of Evolmer and thus far feedback has been positive.
The production base for the new elastomer is the Omi Plant in Itoigawa City, Niigata Prefecture. A new line will be installed in October 2018, and Evolmer will be released on the market in January 2019. We plan to achieve sales of 1,500 tons per year by 2022.
