From Wednesday, September 30 to Friday, October 2, 2026, ARCPLAS exhibited at Highly-Functional Material Week Tokyo, held at Makuhari Messe.
At our booth, we mainly presented the LUVOCOM® and LUVOBATCH® series from LEHVOSS, the German high-performance polymer materials manufacturer, and we were pleased to welcome many visitors over the three days.
Flame retardant masterbatches, high-strength carbon fiber reinforced compounds, and thermally conductive compounds drew particularly strong interest.
We would like to thank everyone who visited our booth.

■ Product Overview

LUVOCOM® is a series of high-performance compounds developed by the German LEHVOSS Group. These are custom polymer materials based on engineering plastics and super engineering plastics.
• High specific gravity (5.2) and low specific gravity (0.8) polyamides
• Flame-retardant black polyamides for laser welding
• Sliding and wear resistance: low coefficient of friction, seizure prevention, bearing applications
• Thermal conductivity: for heat dissipation applications, available in both electrically insulating and electrically conductive types
• Electrical conductivity and antistatic: ESD protection and static suppression, for use around electronic components
• Metal detectable and X-ray detectable: prevention of plastic contamination in food production lines
• High heat resistance: specialty compounds based on super engineering plastics such as PEEK
Custom formulations tailored to your application are available, and we can flexibly support small-lot evaluations.

LUVOCOM® XCF is an ultra-high-strength carbon fiber reinforced compound.
With a tensile strength of up to 425 MPa and a tensile modulus of up to 52 GPa, it delivers outstanding stiffness and strength, and is used as a metal replacement in many industries, including aerospace, sports and leisure, and automotive.
• High modulus and high strength, ideal for lightweight design
• Excellent fatigue resistance and dimensional stability
• Proven track record in gears, structural parts, and robotic mechanism components

LUVOTECH® eco uses recycled material (PIR) while bringing properties, appearance, and processability close to those of virgin material.
• Specialized in engineering plastics and super engineering plastics, including PC/ABS, PA, PPS, and PEEK-based grades
• A robust supply base backed by more than 40 years of experience
• Carbon footprint certificates can be issued
An ideal solution for companies considering eco-friendly grades or the use of recycled materials.

Antimony trioxide (ATO) is widely used as a synergist in flame retardant systems. In recent years, however, changes in the international supply and demand balance have made it one of the raw materials whose prices and lead times tend to be unstable.
We increasingly hear concerns such as “ATO procurement is hard to predict” and “Can we switch to an antimony-free flame retardant system?”
For the flame retardant masterbatch “LUVOBATCH® FR,” we propose suitable options according to your application, including halogenated or halogen-free types, compatible resins, and processing method (extrusion or injection molding).

LUVOBATCH® is a masterbatch material in which blowing agents and various functional additives are compounded into a base resin at high concentration. Beyond adding functionality to molded parts and films, it also helps improve your production process.
• Chemical blowing agents: weight reduction, sink mark improvement, warpage reduction
• A wide range of functional additives, including processing aids, lubricants, heat stabilizers, UV stabilizers, antistatic agents, anti-fogging agents, odor absorbers, and desiccants.
Suitable grades are available for each resin type.
