It is both lightweight and breathable, as well as waterproof and antibacterial. The texture is hard like paper, soft like cloth, and tough and tear-resistant.
The special fabric texture and super performance make it very popular in the fields of clothing design and home design.
YUPO is a synthetic paper made of polypropylene (PP). It not only has the good printability and comfortable feel of classic paper, but also maintains the waterproof, oil-proof, tensile properties of plastic film, and has a bright and smooth appearance.
In addition, its multi-layer structure also allows its thickness and light transmittance to be flexibly adjusted, from fully transparent to 100% opaque, which can be achieved by adjusting materials and processes.
YUPO’s unique performance leaves a lot of room for designers and others to display their creativity, and it has been widely used in packaging, publishing, food, medical, chemical, electronics and other industries.
The optical fiber content is only 4%, which does not affect the strength of the cement at all. But the fibers placed in parallel in a matrix allow the cement to show its ability to transmit light.
This light-transmitting concrete is usually prefabricated in the form of bricks or wall panels. But the size can be adjusted according to specific uses and can be made into different textures and colors.
Flexible fabric cement
Flexible fabric cement consists of a concrete mix with a clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC) backing that ensures the material is waterproof, while the other side contains three-dimensional structures of absorbent fibers that draw water into the cement to promote hydration.
After being filled with water, the material remains flexible for 2 hours before solidifying rapidly. When not solidified, it is easy to cut and shape, and can be nailed through or installed on complex curved surfaces using basic installation tools. Once set, it forms a thin layer of concrete that is durable, waterproof and fireproof. It can be painted, cut with basic power tools, and the exposed concrete edges can be highly polished. Very easy to install and use.
Crystallized glass
The scientific name of glass-ceramics is glass ceramics. It is a hard, dense and uniform multi-phase material composed of crystalline phase and glass phase. It has the dual characteristics of glass and ceramics. Crystallized glass is brighter than ceramics, tougher than glass, has chemical stability, excellent mechanical strength, electrical properties and thermal properties.
It can be used for building curtain walls and indoor high-end decoration, and can also be used as structural materials in machinery.
carbon fiber
Carbon fiber is a new fiber material with high strength and high modulus fiber containing more than 95% carbon. It is composed of organic fibers such as flake graphite microcrystals stacked along the axial direction of the fiber, and is obtained by carbonization and graphitization.
Carbon fiber is “flexible on the outside and rigid on the inside”. It is lighter than metal aluminum, but stronger than steel. It has the characteristics of light weight, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and high modulus.
In the fields of ultra-lightweight furniture design and automobile exterior design, it is highly sought after by avant-garde designers.
airgel
Aerogel, also known as air gel or thin seal, is an artificial foaming substance with the density second only to full carbon aerogel in the world.
Has many outstanding features:
1. Its density is about 3mg/cm^3, which is only three times that of air.
2. Low thermal conductivity and excellent thermal insulation properties. It can almost block the heat transfer caused by the three heat transfer methods (heat conduction, heat convection, and heat radiation).
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene fiber
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber is also called high-strength and high-modulus polyethylene fiber.Polyene fiber is currently the fiber with the highest specific strength and specific modulus in the world.
Its performance in many aspects shows great advantages, and it plays a decisive role in modern warfare, aviation, aerospace, and other fields.
P4U
P4U is a protective material that is usually in a fluid state, but after being impacted, it can quickly absorb the impact and harden within nanoseconds to protect the wrapped object.
Sports protective gear, protective clothing, mobile phone protective cases, etc. made of P4U not only have the comfort of soft materials, but also have strong anti-fall, shock absorption, and buffering effects.
LINE-X is an elastic protective coating that can greatly improve the impact resistance of objects after spraying.
LINE-X dries quickly and adheres well to object surfaces. It can be sprayed vertically without flowing downwards. Moreover, the production and use process does not produce any pollutants harmful to the environment.
