Changing Future of Energy with Materials and Solutions
As the number of natural disasters caused by climate change increases, responding to climate change has become an issue that companies must address. The AGC Group has also declared that it will achieve "carbon net zero" by 2050.
AGC provides solutions in the fields of glass, electronics, chemicals, ceramics, and life sciences. Among these, we will introduce "FORBLUE™" hydrogen production membrane, which is essential for producing and using hydrogen energy, a new production technology for the mass production of sulfide solid electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries for vehicles, and "SiAlON Ceramic Ball for Bearings", which is essential for EV and semiconductors.
FORBLUE™
Fluorinated Ion-exchange Membrane
A fluorinated ion-exchange membrane for a wide variety of electrolysis including PEM water electrolysis, it is the ideal and key component for producing green hydrogen.
It integrates AGC's advanced polymer design technology, membrane design, and membrane production technology.
Fluon+™ mPLASTICS
High Performance Fluoropolymer Compounds
Fluon+™ mPLASTICS is a high-performance fluoropolymer compound made by modifying engineering plastics such as PEEK and PPS with fluorine.
Fluon+™ mPLASTICS has
- excellent flexibility
- crack resistance
- electrical properties (high PDIV)
- heat resistance
SiAlON Ceramic Ball for Bearings
Innovative Ceramic Balls Supporting Carbon Neutrality
AGC’s SiAlON ceramic ball is an innobative material for bearings that delivers carbon neutrality. Realizing a 60% lighter weight compared to steel results in a significant reduction in energy loss.
Additionally, the unique properties of ceramics, such as self-lubrication, high durability, and insulation against electrical erosion, contribute to the high performance of motors.
Sulfide Solid Electrolytes
Can be Applied to a Variety of Compositions with High Quality
AGC is committed to contribute to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles equipped with all solid-state batteries through the stable supply of sulfide solid electrolytes.
Becoming widespread adoption of all solid-state battery (ASSB) will make EVs more easily accessible.
