Black Cannon A-Power (left) Tefabloc\u2122 is used for the outermost layer of the triple-tube structure at the striking part. (right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Mitsubishi Chemical Group<\/a><\/strong> (the MCG Group) announced that its thermoplastic elastomer Tefabloc\u2122 has been adopted for Black Cannon A-Power, a standard bat for rubber baseball manufactured by ZETT Corporation<\/a><\/strong> (Head office: Osaka City, Osaka) on 12 April. Black Cannon A-Power has been sold by ZETT in Japan since late February 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tefabloc\u2122 is the core brand of the MCG Group\u2019s thermoplastic elastomer products. The elastomer has excellent rubber properties and is widely used in automotive applications (sealing\/interior skin by injection \/grip), industrial material applications (tube\/grip), and for household goods (beverage container cap liners, etc.).

The new grade*<\/sup>\u00a0adopted for Black Cannon A-Power can be strongly adhered to carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) without an adhesive, and is used in film form in the outermost layer of the striking part of the bat. Tefabloc\u2122 further improves hitting speed by enhancing impact resistance and maximizing the strength and lightness of CFRPs.

Thermoplastic elastomers, including Tefabloc\u2122, have the same elasticity as vulcanized rubber at room temperature and can be processed in thermoplastic molding machines. In addition, the material can contribute to reducing environmental impact, as the scraps generated during molding can be reused.

The MCG Group will continue to expand applications in line with customer needs and develop high-value-added grades to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
