[ Porous Material ]

Conventional porous manufacturing technologies often struggle with complex shapes, partial surface processing, and specialised functions such as controlled liquid dispensing. We help our customers overcome these challenges by developing porous materials tailored to their products. We work closely with customers through trials, and sample evaluation to develop porous materials that meet their specific requirements.

What are porous plastics?

Open-cell porous plastics are engineered polymer materials with interconnected pore structures that enable controlled fluid flow, absorption, and dispensing. Yamahachi Chemical manufactures porous plastics primarily from polyethylene (PE), used in applications such as writing instruments, stamp pads, and fluid control systems.

What makes Yamahachi’s porous materials different?

Unlike conventional porous manufacturing technologies that struggle with complex shapes and partial surface processing, our technology enables:

  • Flexible material
  • Complex 3D shapes and geometries
  • Partial surface sealing
  • Controlled liquid dispensing (small amount dispensing)

[ Porous Nibs ]

Porous nibs for writing instruments and drawing markers. The YAMAHACHI POROUS technology allows the processing of all shapes.

[ Stamp Pads and Custom Stamps ]

Using the YAMAHACHI POROUS technology, we manufacture PE Flash foam stamp pads, as well as pre-inked rolling stamps and pre-inked photo stamps. With our many years of manufacturing expertise, we can assist you in the production and development of your unique stamp products.
