Toyobo Italia, representative of the parent company Toyobo, is a leader in the creation of innovative fibres and materials for highly specific applications and techniques in the textile sector. Over the years, the company has produced films, functional resins, adhesives and coating materials, functional filters, membranes and modules, medical equipment, pharmaceutical products, bioproducts, cosmetic ingredients, pillow materials, industrial fibres and civil materials, fabrics and high performance fibres. Among these, Breathair is a material that makes it possible to replace materials such as polyurethane as padding in the production of seats for cars, trains and subways as well as mattresses for hospitals, nursing homes, and even mattresses for private use.
The Tokyo subway and the famous Japanese fast train Shinkansen used Breathair as seat padding, replacing the conventional PU. Result: a washable, thermoformable seat, workable like polyurethane, but destined to last over time, maintaining its colour, shape and mechanical characteristics unaltered.

At the Compotec stand, in addition to the commercial technicians and engineers of the Politecnico di Milano, they will also have technicians who deal with training courses in the main production processes of advanced composites, with which they will propose solutions to problems in the composite sector.
Beside these new presences, Compotec 2019 is attended by three innovative start-ups that operate in the field of composites.
9T Labs proposes Carbonkit, a tool to make carbon fibre composite materials more accessible through 3D printing. It is a filament both in carbon fibre and in PA12 thermoplastic compatible with Ultimaker and other customised gantry systems.
Superfici offers 3D printing, study models, models for display, prototypes, mechanical processing, support and development in design in the nautical and industrial design sectors and scale models. It also offers consultancy for companies and design studios for modelling, research and development of new products and prototypes.
Duerf designs new materials and new dispersion, dispensing or application technologies to offer ease of use, practicality of execution with time and money savings. Special products for mechanical, nautical, automotive, aerospace sectors with innovative systems of use that do not require instrumentation or auxiliary energy. The Duerf spray cylinder allows the formulation to be kept out of contact with the air and to spray the product in any area, even without the use of electrical devices or air compressors.
Compotec is hosted from 3-5 April 2019.
