01
Perspective: The foundation supporting social implementation
02
Features (Three pillars of core technology)
Application: An idea to impart gas adsorption and desorption capabilities to plastics by adding it to resins as a functional filler (patent pending).
Material modification: Surface treatment functions tailored to the application, particle size control.
Production Technology: Achieving both "mass production" and "cost reduction" with a unique mass production method (patent pending)
03
Selling points / Value proposition
"Turning everyday life into CO₂ capture spots": Social implementation in a way that anyone can use anywhere.
Establishing a materials research and mass production system as two pillars → enabling safe, low-cost, and scalable processes.
Uniqueness that other companies cannot imitate (licensing + modification technology + mass production know-how)
CO2 absorption products can be easily deployed.
Commercializing CO₂-absorbing plastic products using existing manufacturing lines.
Behomal provides biomass-derived CO₂ absorption material in pellet form.
Customer companies can incorporate these CO₂-absorbing pellets into their existing plastic manufacturing lines and process them into plastic products with CO₂-absorbing capabilities through the normal molding process.
Without introducing new large-scale equipment, we will create products with environmental value by utilizing existing manufacturing facilities and sales channels.
By incorporating CO₂ absorption pellets, it becomes possible to develop new products for a decarbonized society more easily and quickly.
Absorption mechanism and adsorption/desorption function
The mechanism for selectively absorbing CO₂ within the resin: Behomal's CO₂ absorbent material, when dispersed within the resin, imparts the function of selectively absorbing CO₂ from the air. CO₂ slowly penetrates into the resin and is selectively captured by the absorbent material incorporated inside. This makes it possible to give the plastic product itself a CO₂ absorption function. It absorbs CO₂ even at room temperature and its absorption function can be reset by heating above a certain temperature, so it can be reused according to its application. In addition, by adjusting the amount of absorbent material added, it is possible to design a balance between CO₂ absorption performance and moldability. When combined with existing resin processing technologies, it contributes to the development of new plastic products with environmental value. *CO₂ absorption performance is an evaluation result based on our own unique measurement conditions.
Things that can and cannot be done at Binowa
Our powder materials are suitable for blending into resins that can be kneaded.
It can be mixed with resins such as PE and PP, which generally have a processing temperature of 200°C or less.
* Compatibility with rubber, silicone, and PS (polystyrene) is currently under development.
What you can do
(Applicable materials and conditions)
The following conditions may make it difficult to provide the service, or may result in performance issues.
Difficult-to-process resins: ABS, nylon, polyester, and other resins requiring processing temperatures of 200°C or higher (※Not possible due to the heat resistance of the powder)
Do not mix with water: The powder will dissolve in water and the crystals will decompose.
Mixing with organic solvents: It will not dissolve, but its absorbency may decrease (※Under development for improvement)
