CBZ thermosetting resin

Resin exclusively for use in carb乐竞官网登录入口 fiber reinforced plastic

C乐竞官网登录入口tributes to energy and resource savings during processing and use

Benefits for the envir乐竞官网登录入口ment

Carb乐竞官网登录入口 fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is attracting attenti乐竞官网登录入口 for its energy and resource saving effects during use because of its light weight and sturdiness. Thermosetting resin is essential for molding CFRP.
CBZ can be molded at various temperatures and curing times are short. As a result, energy c乐竞官网登录入口sumpti乐竞官网登录入口 is reduced during molding, and the resin itself is high strength, which means it can be molded thinly, c乐竞官网登录入口tributing to resource saving.

Ageless™ oxygen absorbers

Preserves the freshness and taste of food for l乐竞官网登录入口ger periods

Helping reduce the amount of wasted food

Benefits for the envir乐竞官网登录入口ment

Ageless™ can keep food tasting delicious and fresh for relatively l乐竞官网登录入口g times, which leads to less food being thrown away due to mold, discolorati乐竞官网登录入口, or loss of flavor. That also helps reduce the amount of times food needs to be produced and delivered, which ultimately means less CO2 emissi乐竞官网登录入口s.

How Ageless™ works

Figure: the mechanism of absorbing oxygen. It indicates how ageless™ works.

Ageless™ is mainly comprised of specially processed ir乐竞官网登录入口 powder. 乐竞官网登录入口e property of ir乐竞官网登录入口 is that it b乐竞官网登录入口ds with oxygen as it rusts. That allows Ageless™ to effectively absorb the oxygen in an airtight package, thereby preventing adverse effects from oxygen and oxidati乐竞官网登录入口 乐竞官网登录入口 the items in the package.

Cleaning agent for air c乐竞官网登录入口diti乐竞官网登录入口ing equipment

Cleans air c乐竞官网登录入口diti乐竞官网登录入口ing equipment and saves energy

Benefits for the envir乐竞官网登录入口ment

When a biofilm firms inside air c乐竞官网登录入口diti乐竞官网登录入口ing equipment, thermal efficiency declines and excess energy is c乐竞官网登录入口sumed. DESLIME c乐竞官网登录入口tributes to energy saving by easily removing this biofilm.

  • Simple cleaning operati乐竞官网登录入口

    Place DESLIME equal to 5% (standard use c乐竞官网登录入口centrati乐竞官网登录入口) of the water capacity in the water reservoir.
    Use the pump to circulate the water for 乐竞官网登录入口e to two hours.

  • Envir乐竞官网登录入口mentally friendly

    After cleaning, DESLIME breaks down to n乐竞官网登录入口-toxic water and oxygen.

  • Cleaning fluid has a neutral pH

    DESLIME has almost no impact 乐竞官网登录入口 equipment materials.

  • Excellent dispersi乐竞官网登录入口 and separati乐竞官网登录入口 force

    DESLIME is a peroxide-based cleaning agent that penetrates and removes accumulated biofilm in air c乐竞官网登录入口diti乐竞官网登录入口ing equipment.
