MORESCO Green SX Certification Standards and Flow

We evaluate the entire life cycle of a product, from the procurement of raw materials to disposal, certifying a product as "MORESCO Green SX" if it has a particularly significant contribution to our seven materialities and reduces the impact on the environment.
Products submitted by each division are reviewed by an internal review board consisting of management, the heads of each division, and others, and are then officially certified by the Sustainability Committee. Certification and operation are verified by a third party and evaluated for validity.

Energy conservation Environmental conservation Building of a better workplace

Water-soluble minimum quantity spray type release agent
GRAPHACE MQ Series

Generally, mold release agents are diluted tens to hundreds of times, but the products developed by our company are not diluted, making them extremely stable. Since only a very small amount is applied, waste liquid is reduced and a longer mold life is achieved, reducing production costs.
Compared to general release agents, this product reduces petrochemical-derived raw materials by 38% per product produced by the customer.
This contributes to improving the work environment by reducing compressor power consumption, reducing the amount of mold release mist scattered, and reducing noise.

Reduction of CO2 emissions Environmental conservation

Water-glycol fire-resistant hydraulic fluid
HYDOL

Our hydraulic fluid has excellent lubricity and stability, as well as highly balanced performance, which contributes to the stable operation of hydraulic equipment requiring precise operation. It is especially optimal in workplaces where there is a risk of fire.
We have also been working on reuse and recycling efforts, as hydraulic fluid that has deteriorated over time must be treated as industrial waste and the environmental impact of incineration has been a problem. We have developed a technology that extracts only the deteriorated additives that make up 20% of the fluid and recycles the remaining clean water-glycol components. In addition to reducing the amount of petrochemical-derived raw materials used through the recovery and reuse of hydraulic fluid, this significantly reduces waste.
Furthermore, the introduction of biomass PG contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions.

Water Soluble Cutting Fluids
MORESCO TOOLMATE GR-5

Unique special additives suppress the solidification and floating of glass powder. In addition to reducing problems on peripheral equipment such as centrifugal separators, exchange work hours are reduced to 1/4. Many proven results have been seen in the glass machining sector.

Reactive hot melt
MORESCO-MELT RO-400

A reactive hot melt that hardens due to moisture contained in the air or adherends.
It is mainly used for adhesion for automobile interiors.
Having excellent coating properties, it can be applied by bead or spray.
It contributes to improving productivity and reducing energy use by eliminating the need for a drying process after coating, as well as improving the environment by eliminating solvents.

Energy conservation Building of a better workplace

MORESCO-MELT EP Series

It contributes to improving productivity and reducing energy use by eliminating the need for a drying process after hot melt coating, as well as improving the environment by eliminating solvents.
In addition, the use of a pseudo layer and an adhesive layer reduces the need for an intermediate base material (paper).

Reduction of CO2 emissions Energy conservation Environmental conservation

Organic photovoltaics
MORESCO-OPV Flexi

In addition to contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases by creating renewable energy through solar power generation, CO2 emissions during manufacturing are also reduced to 1/5 and waste to 1/10,000 compared to silicon solar cells.
Being semitransparent and featuring a high-quality design, they can also function as an interior decoration when attached to windows to generate electricity.

Reduction of CO2 emissions Environmental conservation Contribution to industrial development

Gas & water vapor transmittance measurement device
MORESCO-SuperDetect

Measures the gas barrier properties of films quickly and with world-class sensitivity and high precision. It contributes to R&D and quality control in various fields, including organic devices and solar cells, fuel cells, hydrogen energy, and food and medical product packaging.
Furthermore, the development of multi-chamber type equipment enables multiple sample measurements, reducing workload.
No petrochemical-derived raw materials are used for the main raw materials, and parts can also be reused.
