Products AFP™ Asahi Flexo Plate
AFP™ Plate Making System
AWP™ Asahi Water washable Flexo Plate
ADLESS™ Asahi Direct Laser Engrave Sleeve System
AFP-SH / DSH Asahi's AFP- SH / DSH is a hard flexo plate specifically developed to satisfy the customers' increased demands for excellent printing quality and high durability.
The improved interaction of high mechanical stability and very good recovery behaviour makes for longer printing time between cleaning intervals. Steep relief shoulders and good intermediate depths ensure excellent printing results from the very start.
AFP-SF / DSF AFP- SF/DSF is Asahi’s medium hard range of plates for high quality printing onto all substrates.
Its optimized balance of surface tension, plate hardness and recovery behavior produces incomparably good ink coverage with low dot gain in the mid tones and brilliant highlight areas – and all this can be achieved at maximum printing speeds.
AWP - DEF AWP DEF is the brand new development in photopolymer plate technology by Asahi Photo­products. For the first time, Asahi is marketing a solid water-washable plate.
This particular product satisfies the most severe criteria in terms of high quality printing and does more to match current technologies. AWP DEF produces superior results to traditional or thermal technologies and even outperforms the latest generation of digital flexographic printing plates. In addition to the usual benefit of Asahi plate products, this AWP DEF plate gives a level of graphic reproduction similar to other digital plates, with a hig­her ink transfer and a wider tonal range.
Celphere™
(MCC* spheres)
 
Celphere™ is a 100% MCC* spherical seed core for drug layering and film coating. It is highin mechanical strength and water absorption and is an optimum seed core for a wide range of aqueous layering and coating systems.
Ceolus™
 
Ceolus™ KG is the world's most compactible MCC dry binder, as an inherent effect of its distinctive rod-form particle shape. With its high compactibility, it is particularly effective for reducing the tablet size of large-dose drugs, and for the tableting of pressure-sensitive drugs, coated-granule tablets, and orally dispersible tablets. Ceolus® PH and RC are also available. pressure-sensitive drugs, coated-granule tablets, and orally dispersible tablets.
MMEV
(speech codec)
 
MMEV is a voice compression/decompression engine which enables real-time processing on an embedded processor. It is based on a multimodal multipulse excitation vocoder developed jointly by Asahi Kasei and Georgia Institute of Technology (USA), and uses proprietary Asahi Kasei technology to achieve higher sound quality and to enable compatibility with both 8 kHz and 11 kHz sampling rates.
PCS™
 
PCS™ is a non-soluble pregelatinized starch which retains the shell structure of starch grains but has an extremely low water-soluble content. It is a versatile excipient; it serves as dissolution enhancer, granulation aid, and stabilizer for moisture-sensitive drugs, and carrier for hygroscopic materials.
Pimel™
(PSPI)
 

Pimel™ is photosensitive polyimide precursor for semiconductor buffer coating application on memory, logic and other advanced devices. Pimel™ is patternable with standard developement process of photoresist and offers excellent film properties of polyimide after cure.

VOCLE
(hands free middleware)
 
VOCLE hands-free middleware is a noise suppression and echo cancellation engine featuring high performance in various noise environments.
VORERO
(speech recognition middleware)
 
VORERO offers a range of speech-related software middleware.The Voice Interface Project is targeting embedded systems, primarily in the automotive industry. These products are purely software and can easily be ported onto various platforms.In addition, Vorero offers expert assistance in the development of speech solution to the customers who request it, for lack of time, resources or expertise.
VOStalk
(text to speech middleware)
 
VOStalk is a compact Japanese-language TTS engine based on Asahi Kasei voice technology. It features high-quality sound and natural prosody with low processor load and low memory requirements.
