Family Day is a chance for our team to strengthen the connections that make Asahi Kasei Plastics special.

This year, Asahi Kasei Plastics Mexico employees and their families gathered at Rancho Santa Marina for a day of relaxation, great food, and time together. After a tour of the ranch, where families met the animals and children had the opportunity to feed them, we gathered to make our own pizzas to share in good food together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this year’s Family Day memorable. We’re grateful to the families who support our employees every day, and to the community we continue to build together.

What if one material change could reduce weight, simplify processing, and lower costs, all without changing the existing tool?

A Japanese OEM found an opportunity to do just that by replacing a key material with Thermylene™ PP-GF40% for window regulator housings. For manufacturers looking to simplify molding operations while maintaining part performance, the right selection can make a meaningful difference.

What does it take for photovoltaic components to perform reliably for 25 years or longer?

As solar warranties extend, material selection becomes increasingly critical. Components must withstand decades of UV exposure, temperature cycling, moisture, chemicals, and physical stress without compromising performance.

This post explores how advanced engineering polymers, including XYRON™ modified polyphenylene ether, can help manufacturers improve the durability and long-term reliability of photovoltaic junction boxes, connectors, and other critical components. It also examines findings from long-term field exposure and accelerated aging tests.

When neighbors come together, meaningful change happens.

Asahi Kasei Plastics North America employees and their families participated in Livingston County United Way’s Day of Caring. Our team supported local organizations and assisted senior citizens with home-related repairs, indoors and outdoors, that they were unable to do on their own. We hope that our efforts will make a lasting difference, and we are proud to support our community members.

Thank you to Livingston County United Way for organizing this important day and to every volunteer who stepped up to help build a stronger, more connected Livingston County.

The performance of an ADAS camera depends on more than its lens and software.

Behind every camera module, material selection plays a critical role in maintaining the precision, durability, and reliability required for today’s advanced driver assistance systems.

In this post, we explore how engineered plastics such as XYRON™ can help ADAS camera components withstand demanding automotive conditions, including:
• High temperatures
• Continuous vibration and road shock
• Moisture, humidity, and UV exposure

What if a structural component could deliver metal-like performance?

For decades, die-cast aluminum has been the standard for structural brackets, seat frames, pedal arms, cross-members, and other demanding components. Today, advanced engineering resins are giving design teams another option.

LEONA™ SG Nylon is engineered for metal-replacement applications with many additional benefits. Our blog explores how engineers across automotive, powersports, and heavy equipment applications are using high-performance polyamide resins to rethink structural part design, manufacturing efficiency, and total cost of ownership.

Kicking off WorldPM2026 in Montreal at Booth 219!

The Asahi Kasei Engineering Plastics team is excited to be on-site at WorldPM2026, introducing TENAC™-P PC120.

TENAC™-P PC120 was developed to support reliable performance across a broad range of metals. This all-in-one binder for acid degreasing is engineered to reduce odor during key processing steps, including mixing and molding, while promoting smooth feedstock flow and strong sintered body properties.

Our technical presentation will take a closer look at the data behind these results, including quantitative evaluations and the mechanisms that contribute to TENAC™-P PC120’s processing and performance advantages.

We look forward to connecting with you throughout the show! To learn more, visit https://www.asahi-kasei-plastics.com/en/products/tenac/
