Mitsui Plastics, Inc. provides a wide variety of resins and traditional automotive manufacturing materials, as a partner of our planet, we strive to shift towards a more sustainable future by offering several eco-friendly products that are a direct replacement for traditional automotive materials while still maintaining key specifications.
Contains 20-30% recycled content and maintains key technical specifications.
Available in vast color and speckled options.
Perfect for a drop-in replacement for Polypropylene (PP) and Thermoplastic Polyolefins (TPO) for interior and exterior applications.
Post-Industrial Recycled (PIR) Material
Contains >75% PIR content and maintains key technical specifications.
Ideal drop-in replacement for ABS, PC-ABS and Nylon.
Greatly reduces global warming potential upon manufacture!
Carbon Offset Grade:
Polyketone (PK) – Carbon Sequestering Material
A new “green” polymeric material composed of carbon monoxide and olefins that actually utilizes carbon monoxide in its manufacturing.
Used in many under hood and nylon replacement applications with room for interior applications such as shift modules, arm rests and air ducts.
Used in electrical applications such as connectors, plugs, switches and sockets.
Produces little to no VOCs, has high impact strength, is anti-squeak, has high chemical resistance, good wear & abrasion behavior and good flame-retardancy.
Bio Feedstock Grade:
Bio-Based Polycarbonate (PC)
Boasts approximately 56% bio-content from its feedstock Isosorbide, which is derived from plant-based glucose.
Used in many glass substitution applications such as HUD screens, Center Fascia Displays and Dashboard Screens, due to its highly optical characteristics.
Features low birefringence, low VOCs, great surface hardness and UV resistance.
Used recently for the Solar Louvers on the Ford Mach E Tjin Edition. Read about this exciting project here.
Bio-Based Polyurethane (PU)
Derived from non-edible plants, such as castor seeds, offering a product containing 15% bio-content in its final product form.
Produces approximately only 50% of the CO2 exhaust that is produced by Petroleum-based PU.
Commonly used for seat cushions, this material is sought after for its increased riding comfort and increase ball rebound.
Paintless Grade
ABS – Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
Thermoplastic with good impact and chemical resistance, easy to mold.
Commonly used for housings and other tough impact applications are important.
Reasonably priced for strong exterior applications.
PC ABS – Polycarbonate + Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
Provides good impact resistance and strength, good UV resistance
Can be blended with other resins and used for premium applications such as automotive interiors.
TPO – Thermoplastic Polyolefin
Blend of plastic, elastomer and filler that helps extended regular resin properties.
Good strength, wear and UV resistance making it ideal for harsh outdoor applications.
Commonly used for interior and exterior parts due to its long life.
ASA – Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate
Great impact resistance and increased weathering and UV resistance, ideal for long-term outdoor use.
Low shrink makes this easy to design for injection molding.
Can be mixed with other resins to modify properties.
Bio-Based Polycarbonate (PC)
Boasts approximately 56% bio-content from its feedstock Isosorbide, which is derived from plant-based glucose.
Used in many glass substitution applications such as HUD screens, Center Fascia Displays and Dashboard Screens, due to its highly optical characteristics.
Features low birefringence, low VOCs, great surface hardness and UV resistance.
Used recently for the Solar Louvers on the Ford Mach E Tjin Edition. Read about this exciting project here.
Nylon 6 & Nylon 66
Thermoplastic valued for great strength and heat resistance.
Ideal for under hood applications where heat resistance is critical.
Can be combined with fibers to make composites that can replace certain metal.
