DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

From molded-pulp limitations to a paper-based molded-material platform

01
STEP 01

Researching molded-pulp limitations

We studied the material and process limits of conventional molded pulp and directions for improvement.

02
STEP 02

Researching core paper-foam technology

We investigated paper-fiber foaming mechanisms and the underlying technology.

03
STEP 03

Developing pressurized paper foaming

We developed a pressurized paper-foaming method for dense in-mold foaming.

04
STEP 04

Optimizing foaming and forming

Moisture, temperature, pressure, foaming conditions and mold structure were optimized to improve quality.

05
STEP 05

Developing high-speed production

The laboratory-stage technology was advanced toward continuous production.

06
STEP 06

Expanding application fields

The technology continues to expand toward applications shaped by industry-specific requirements.

07
STEP 07

A next-generation sustainable platform

Cellufoam aims to become a paper-based material platform designed to create sustainable value.
