AudioQuest’s NightHawk headphones to feature ARBOFORM material of Tecnaro

AudioQuest, the well reputed audio video cables for their good performance have launched their first set of headphones in Las Vegas this year. Named as Nighthawk, this semi open headphone features an around-the-ear design. Designed by Er. Skylar Gray, this headphone exhibits various groundbreaking components such as Tecnaro’s ARBOFORM for sophisticated earcups. Gray states that ARBOFORM is the main element to work behind the performance and works a the driving factor for excitement among people during the release.

ARBOFORM has been made up of completely renewable raw materials featuring lignin as the main component. In the modern scenario where plastic is creating environmental hazards, production of ARBOFORM has reduced the influence of plastics on ecosystem. Ear-cups of NightHawk has been made of this component which is also known as liquid wood. It also offers the chance of subtle colors, patterns and finishing to the surface for improving the beauty of NighhtHawk. One more thing to know about liquid wood is that it bears better acoustic properties offering seamless range of geometric possibilities to the design. Overall, use of ARBOFORM in this high performance headphone offers natural beauty, awesome value and lots of chances of sustainable engineering.

Tecnaro GmbH to use lignin for the production of Arboform bioplastics

Tecnaro GmbH has laid platform for a new site at the end of 2014. The new building has taken investment of about 5 million EUR where the company has planned to move till summer 2015. The area of this new site is about 2,500 mt. sq. which will be used for manufacturing, storage and official units. The newly planned site has more area than the current site of the company; located in the Auenstein district, Tecnaro is planning the production of Arboform, the wood waste lignin thermoplastics. Apart from this extensive thermoplastic, the company is also indulged in the manufacturing of biodegradable compounds and blends i.e. Arbofill and Arboblend. With its 30 employees, Tecnaro has become manufacturer of high quality thermoplastics from renewable resources.

The all what is done by the company is mixing lignin with natural fibers to develop high quality thermoplastics. Lignin is the next important natural polymer present abundantly to be used as raw material for development of bioplastics. Lignin is basically known as a byproduct in the pulp industry and being used for bioplastics production due to its degradable properties. About 50 million tons lignin arises every year which is subjected for development of processed bioplastics.
