LIMEX / Backlit Film Signage

Transcript

2. Product Details: 200μ Translucent Hard Type Compared to conventional products, Reduce plastic and CO2 emissions by adding Limestone LIMEX Sheet Raw Material Final Products for Backlit Film Signage LIMEX is an inorganic filler dispersion composite material that contains more than 50% inorganic matter such as calcium carbonate and is an alternative to plastics and paper, developed exclusively by TBM in Japan. Notes・These are estimated approximate values and are not guaranteed. The figures are subject to change depending on data availability and other factors.・Comparisons with other companies' products are not possible due to differences in calculation and data collection methodologies.Assessment Methodology・Life Cycle Inventory (LCI)・LCI Database: IDEA version 3.2 from the IDEA Lab, Research Institute of Science for Safety and Chemical AIST・Impact Assessment Method: Climate change IPCC 2013 GWP 100aAssessment Conditions・Proposed Product: LIMEX Sheet 200µm, Comparative Product (General Product): PET 200µm.・Scope: [Raw Material Procurement] → [Sheet Manufacturing] → [Disposal (Incineration)]・Assumes manufacturing and disposal in Japan. Excludes processes such as illuminated sheet processing, printing, and transportation.・Manufacturing Conditions: Based on TBM factory performance data from 2024 to 2025.・Electricity Consumption: LIMEX uses virtually 100% renewable energy-derived electricity, while the general product assumes average electricity in Japan. Petroleum Plastic Usage Approx. -55% GHG Emission Approx. -43% LIMEX Sheet vs 100% PET Sheet CO2 2
3. Features Compared to PET Sheet Materials (Backlit Application) Reduce the Cost up to 15% 01 Higher Cost Performance $ The use of inexpensive limestone makes it possible to offer the film at a lower cost than conventional plastic films. The light transmittance is higher, and the light diffusion is superior, enabling the expression of vivid and beautiful colors when viewed from any angle. 02 Better Eye-Catch Performance Ideal as an alternative to plastic films and synthetic paper, it is also ideal in wet environments, strong and tear-resistant 03 Waterproof & Strong tear Resistance Can be labelled with an ‘environmental appeal label’ if the conditions of use are met. Environmental performance can be communicated externally. 04 By providing labels, promotes environmental performance 3
