    Recently, Sekisui Chemical said that it will invest 6 billion yen in its plant in Michigan to expand foam production
    .
    To this end, the company will add a new building at its U.
    S.
    plant to increase production capacity by approximately 20%.

    The expansion project is expected to be completed and put into operation
    in July~September 2024.

    It is reported that the material increased by Sekisui Chemical is polyolefin foam, which is foamed by heating polyethylene with an electron beam
    .
    The material is used in industrial tapes or medical devices
    .
    Sekisui Chemical said that at present, the annual production capacity of the company's US plant is about 6,000 tons, and there is still a big gap
    to meet the needs of industrial and medical applications.

    Sekisui Chemical's polyolefin foam has eight production sites
    in Japan, the U.
    S.
    , and Europe.
    In addition to industrial tapes and medical device applications, foam plastics are also used in automotive interior materials
