Composite polyester-nylon raw yarn contains ≥93% recycled mass (raw-yarn basis); ARTIROSA CX fabrics to launch FW 2027 with 200,000 m initial sales target.
Prototype film capacitor with a 150°C dielectric ran stably in an inverter; thermal simulation suggests heat-dissipation structure could be halved, aiding lighter air‑cooled units.
Solvent-based process selectively dissolves PPS from mixed waste, recovering polymer intact and removing contaminants for reuse, with scale-up and commercial target ~2030.
Low‑fouling RO elements ordered for a 50 million gallons-per-day wastewater reclamation plant in Changi, with completion targeted in 2028.
Two nanofiltration elements launched in July 2026: one chemically durable for industrial wastewater and MLD/ZLD, the other low‑pressure with high PFAS removal and high permeate flow.
ML model selects thermosetting resins that balance recyclability and mechanical performance for CFRP, cutting candidate evaluations by thousands to tens of thousands.
Resin-film substrate for anode current collectors matches copper performance, cuts collector weight 50–60%, reduces cell weight ≈10%, produced at 4.5 µm and sampled to customers.
Patent for improved muconic acid commercialized; collaboration with Toray advanced bio-based adipic acid and pre-commercial Bio‑Nylon 6,6, supporting circular economy.
