New sealant using TFS’s Teonex™ film adopted in Toyota’s new fuel cell vehicle Mirai

OSAKA, Japan, Jan. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Toyobo Film Solutions Ltd. (TFS) has developed a sealant based on its TeonexTM for fuel cells* to be equipped in fuel cell vehicles (FCV), and the product was adopted in the latest model of the Mirai eco-car, which Toyota Motor Corporation began selling on December 9, 2020.

OSAKA, Japan, Jan. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Toyobo Film Solutions Ltd. (TFS) has developed a sealant based on its TeonexTM for fuel cells* to be equipped in fuel cell vehicles (FCV), and the product was adopted in the latest model of the Mirai eco-car, which Toyota Motor Corporation began selling on December 9, 2020.

TeonexTM is a high-durability and heat-resistant polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film, for which TFS has virtually the entire global market share. The product is increasingly being adopted for vehicle parts. The new sealant is made by coating a unique adhesive to TeonexTM, along with precision processing. The product can provide various functions, such as the protection of power generation surfaces of fuel cells, insulation and shape retention for gas intake and exhaust components, in addition to joining components to make fuel cells.

Toyota has evaluated the new sealant for realizing high durability in demanding environments, a key factor contributing to the long-term integrity of the fuel cells, and decided to use the sealant for the new Mirai model. Moreover, thanks to the newly developed adhesive and other factors, the new sealant makes it possible to join components at higher speeds, resulting in a drastically shorter per-cell production time.

TFS will contribute to the realization of a healthy and sustainable society through provision of the sealant for the Mirai model, which is expected to be widely used as the ultimate eco-friendly vehicle, powered by hydrogen and emitting only water while in operation.

*Fuel cell: Minimum unit of a fuel cell system. Hundreds of cells are stacked to make a fuel cell system, which is a power generation device for FCVs.

Regarding PEN film TeonexTM

This is a highly durable and heat-resistant film with excellent mechanical strength, electrical insulation properties and cost effectiveness, which can be used in the same ways as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films. It is expected to meet new demands of the market.

The Future of Home Buying Arrives in San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — House X today announced San Antonio, Texas as one of the pilot cities to launch the American Dream 2021, expanding home ownership; featuring over 40,000 new, healthier, energy-efficient homes across the country valued at over <span…

SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — House X today announced San Antonio, Texas as one of the pilot cities to launch the American Dream 2021, expanding home ownership; featuring over 40,000 new, healthier, energy-efficient homes across the country valued at over $18 Billion with up to $364 million in stimulus by providing home buyers free renewable energy and a discounted mortgage.

The virtual home buying event is limited to selected markets in the United States — admission is free to consumers. Free stimulus incentives apply to all contracts executed from Jan. 27-April 15, 2021, for registered home buyers.

The San Antonio Pilot includes:

  • Over 4,924 new homes in over 322 communities with 1,077 homes ready for quick move-in
  • Renewable electricity at zero cost to registered home buyers
  • 1% discounted mortgage for the first 12 months, followed by either 14 or 29 years of fixed-rate record-low mortgage rate on FDA conforming loans
  • Local Impact:
    • Potential reduction in carbon emissions — equivalent of removing 10,832 gas-powered cars off the road per year
    • Potential free stimulus for renewable energy = $29.54 million going back into the local economy

WHY: The purpose of the event is to expand home ownership by educating consumers on the advantages of smart, healthier, sustainable homes that are more efficient, lower carbon footprint and less expensive to own, operate, protect and maintain — lowering total cost of ownership. The home is more important than ever since the onset of the pandemic and the trend was a highlight at CES with smart home technology with a focus on hygiene, cleanliness, energy-efficiency and sustainability.

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) is finding more and more evidence that the pandemic is changing America’s home buying plans. Rose Quint writes in NAHB’s Eye on Housing Blog that the percentage of those households considering purchasing a home within the next year took the largest jump in the history of the association’s Housing Trends Report

The new administration is also launching efforts to expand home ownership and offset costs through a proposed tax incentive. The proposal states its purpose to:

«Help families buy their first homes and build wealth by creating a new refundable, advanceable tax credit of up to $15,000. Biden’s new First Down Payment Tax Credit will help families offset the costs of homebuying and help millions of families lay down roots for the first time. Building off of a temporary tax credit expanded as part of the Recovery Act, this tax credit will be permanent and advanceable, meaning that homebuyers receive the tax credit when they make the purchase instead of waiting to receive the assistance when they file taxes the following year.»

HOW:

  • The Smart Mortgage™: House X has partnered with a leading mortgage lender to create a special below-market mortgage; a one percent discounted mortgage for the first 12 months of a 15- or 30-year fixed rate conforming mortgage.
  • The Healthier Home: In collaboration with Delos, every home buyer will receive a multi-room advanced air purification system for their new home upon move-in, helping reduce particles that carry airborne bacteria, viruses and allergens.
  • The Location Report™: Nothing will impact the financial picture of a home as much as its location. With custom insights available nowhere else, the House X Location Report reveals 300+ insights about any address in America. It is free to registered home shoppers.
  • The RESNET Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index is the nationally recognized system for inspecting and calculating a home’s energy performance. Similar to a MPG sticker for cars, except for new homes.

WHEN: American Dream 2021 Pilot Program will include free stimulus incentives on fully executed purchase contracts between Jan. 27-April 15, 2021.

WHERE: American Dream 2021 is limited to home purchases in selected pilot cities available on HouseX.com.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — It’s no surprise to anyone that the last year has changed the landscape in cities all across the United States in a myriad of ways. Those in the hospitality industry have greatly felt the impact of the current environment and are critical to help economic and social recovery.

Although it may seem counterintuitive, there’s no better time to make positive life changes than during a period of uncertainty. And in a city like Cleveland, with a rich and diverse history, a strong work force and world-class healthcare systems, we are looking to welcome back all those that have left the nest for new experiences, as well as those looking for an incredible city to plant roots in. The stage is set for brand new ventures, and with the right talented, vibrant minds to bring new visions to life, the opportunities are endless.

This progress and push towards the future has already created new and exciting careers across the board. Restaurants like The Last Page have been on the hunt for great talent for months and have found success in Ohio transplants all across the country ready to come home, looking for a better quality of life. It’s not only the native Ohioans who have found success in coming to the forest city. Chef Brad Race recently relocated to the Cleveland area from Los Angeles to join the team at The Last Page & Kind of One Concepts (the group behind TLP) as head of culinary. Before relocating to Cleveland, Brad was Executive Chef of Catch Los Angeles, a restaurant that is consistently considered one of the best dining establishments in the nation.

«Growing up in Cleveland, I didn’t truly appreciate how much this city had to offer but after living in Miami, Los Angeles and part time in New York City, I realized that Cleveland is the best location to build my career as an entrepreneur and raise a family. Anyone looking to relocate or move home to Cleveland, we welcome you at The Last Page and Kind of One Concepts» said Todd Leebow, founder of Kind of One Concepts.

With the future looking brighter, but still uncertain, living in an area with diverse neighborhoods, a high quality of life with a relatively low cost of living and job stability is more important than ever. The opportunities Cleveland can offer its residents change and evolve on a daily basis, and the pull to be in such a dynamic city has never been stronger.  The time to make Cleveland home again or for the first time has never looked better.

  • Over 708 new homes in over 130 communities with 195 homes ready for quick move-in
  • Renewable electricity at zero cost to registered home buyers
  • 1% discounted mortgage for the first 12 months, followed by either 14 or 29 years of fixed-rate record low mortgage rate on FDA conforming loans
  • Local Impact:
    • Potential reduction in carbon emissions–equivalent of removing 1,557 gas-powered cars off the road per year
    • Potential free stimulus for renewable energy= $10.7 million going back into the local economy

WHY: The purpose of the event is to expand home ownership by educating consumers on the advantages of smart, healthier, sustainable homes that are more efficient, lower carbon footprint and less expensive to own, operate, protect and maintain – lowering total cost of ownership. The home is more important than ever since the onset of the pandemic and the trend was a highlight at CES with smart home technology with a focus on hygiene, cleanliness, energy-efficiency and sustainability.

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) is finding more and more evidence that the pandemic is changing America’s home buying plans. Rose Quint writes in NAHB’s Eye on Housing Blog that the percentage of those households considering purchasing a home within the next year took the largest jump in the history of the association’s Housing Trends Report.

The new administration is also launching efforts to expand home ownership and offset costs through a proposed tax incentive. The proposal states its purpose to:

«Help families buy their first homes and build wealth by creating a new refundable, advanceable tax credit of up to $15,000. Biden’s new First Down Payment Tax Credit will help families offset the costs of homebuying and help millions of families lay down roots for the first time. Building off of a temporary tax credit expanded as part of the Recovery Act, this tax credit will be permanent and advanceable, meaning that homebuyers receive the tax credit when they make the purchase instead of waiting to receive the assistance when they file taxes the following year.»

HOW:

  • The Smart Mortgage™: House X has partnered with a leading mortgage lender to create a special below-market mortgage; a one percent discounted mortgage for the first 12 months of a 15- or 30-year fixed rate conforming mortgage.
  • The Healthier Home: In collaboration with Delos, every home buyer will receive a multi-room advanced air purification system for their new home upon move-in, helping reduce particles that carry airborne bacteria, viruses and allergens
  • The Location Report™: Nothing will impact the financial picture of a home as much as its location. With custom insights available nowhere else, the House X Location Report reveals 300+ insights about any address in America. It is free to registered home shoppers.
  • The RESNET Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index is the nationally recognized system for inspecting and calculating a home’s energy performance. Similar to a MPG sticker for cars, except for new homes.

WHEN: American Dream 2021 Pilot Program will include free stimulus incentives on fully executed purchase contracts between January 27 – April 15, 2021.

WHERE: American Dream 2021 is limited to home purchases in selected pilot cities available on houseX.com.
