Representing Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Group (MGC, Tokyo, Japan), Mitsubishi Gas Chemical America (MGCA, New York, N.Y., U.S.) has announced that its consortium of businesses will be exhibiting at JEC World 2023.
“We took this opportunity to gather our advanced materials businesses and unify them under one roof, where thousands of potential customers can come and see synergistic MGC offerings,” MGCA’s president Susumu Kagiwada says. “Three years ago, we expanded our business into the advanced materials arena while keeping focus on the mobility and transportation sectors. The MGC advanced materials business segments will showcase their offerings aligned with these sectors.”
The Thermoset Agents business unit focuses on epoxy resins and hardeners. It will be displaying a three-part process in the production of an automotive part. MGC’s Thermoplastics division will be bringing unidirectional (UD) tapes and small parts to showcase Therplim, an alternative to polyetheretherketone (PEEK) with its high glass transition temperature (Tg) and low melting point. Global Polyacetal Co. Ltd will be in the booth with parts from Lexter and Reny.
NEXX Technologies (New York, N.Y., U.S.), the advanced composites business unit of MGCA, will be exhibiting panels and parts manufactured with its modified epoxy and pure cyanate epoxy platforms. These resin systems
provide prepreg solutions for primary and secondary structures for aerospace such as commercial, military and regional aircraft, as well as spacecraft, unmanned aviation vehicles (UAVs), high-performance
vehicles and radomes.
Fudow will be displaying parts created with Fudow’s thermoset and thermoplastic filaments through a 3D printing process. These filaments can be stored at room temperature and are high-heat resistant.
“JEC World is an exciting time for our industry,” Joseph Kidd, NEXX Technologies general manager says. “We are looking forward to a very successful show.”
