(Report)

Starlite developed thermoplastic biomass friction material in 2022 and received the 72nd Industrial Technology Award from the Osaka Industrial Research Association. This material was developed for use in the “turning, moving and holding” non-energized actuation brakes installed on small cutting-edge collaborative robots and features excellent mass production capability and wear resistance as well as friction characteristics with low temperature dependence. In addition, the base resin is thermoplastic biomass(*), which reduces the use of fossil-based fuels and is recyclable, contributing to the reduction of environmental impact.

(*) Inedible biomass resin, biomass-based plastic ratio 25% MIN
