DEVELOPMENT OF CELLULOSE SURFACE 
MODIFICATION TECHNOLOGY
& 
OPTIMIZATION OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL FORMULATIONS

 

We have developed an optimized surface modification technology 
through years of research and development 
to enhance the compatibility between cellulose and other polymers. 
With OAFE’s cellulose surface modification technology, 
we have minimized the deterioration of physical properties in bioplastics.

OPTIMIZATION OF SPECIAL COMPOUNDING PROCESS

 

OAFE possesses specialized compounding expertise and data optimized for bioplastics.
We manufacture high-performance bioplastics by applying process conditions 
tailored to the characteristics of each biomass and polymer used.
