Since the introduction of Unitika's "UNILATE™" at the end of last year, we have received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback. Both Japanese-affiliated and Thai local companies have shown great interest in Unilate, making it a key material we continue to focus on. In this article, we would like to highlight the "Flame Retardant Grade" of UNILATE™, for which demand is particularly increasing.

Increased attention with the rising demand for rechargeable batteries and EVs!
What is Unilate "Flame Retardant Grade"?

There are three main types of Unilate:
- Standard PC (Insulated)
- Flame Retardant NC (Insulated + Fire Prevention)
Conductive CV (Static Prevention)

▲ Flame retardant grade

Unilate is known for its high dimensional stability and low warping due to being molded into plates using a unique manufacturing process that makes it resistant to changes in temperature and humidity. In addition to this, the flame-retardant grade introduced in this article further enhances these features.

This material is frequently used in the production of rechargeable batteries, and with the recent surge in demand for these batteries, we have been receiving an increasing number of inquiries. As global demand for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to rise, we anticipate manufacturing in Thailand will become more active. We have the materials, technology, and environment to meet this growing demand.

There may still be many who are unaware that Unilate is readily available in Thailand. Since materials significantly impact manufacturing costs, those currently using alternatives or facing difficulties in sourcing materials may find that switching to Unilate produced by us can lead to a reduction in overall costs.

Not Just Resin!
Technoplast's Processing Technology for a Wide Variety of Materials

While we specialize in resin processing, Technoplast also offers expertise in handling a diverse range of materials beyond resin.

Just like with resin, the processing results of other materials are also influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. Since processing methods and precautions vary depending on the material, the experience and intuition of our technicians are crucial for achieving optimal results
