Oji Holdings installs new manufacturing demonstration facility for cellulose nanofibers in Tokushima, Japan

Nov 24, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. Oji Holdings Corporation (Oji) has developed a ground-breaking production process for cellulose nanofibers in Tokushima, Japan, which applies a phosphate esterification chemical treatment method, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

Practical use of cellulose nanofibers has been largely impeded by the burdensome energy requirements of the pulp refining process from which cellulose nanofibers are derived.

With the introduction of the demonstration facility, Oji will not only inspect the energy reducing effects of this production process, but we will broaden our array of samples to be provided to users at the implementation stage. This will also expedite the initiative towards commercialization.
