Technology foundation

Engineered in Japan. Distributed in Canada.

LIMEX material technology is engineered in Japan. Seven Dot Inc. is the Canadian company bringing that material to manufacturers across Ontario and, over time, the broader Canadian market — as Canadian distribution and commercialization partner.

What is LIMEX

A material built from limestone, not petroleum.

LIMEX is an advanced material technology, engineered in Japan, using calcium carbonate and other components to create material solutions designed to reduce dependence on conventional petroleum-based plastics. It is supplied in pellet form, engineered for compatibility with established plastic-processing equipment.

Material composition and performance vary by grade and application. Technical information is available through application-specific consultation — we don't publish figures we can't stand behind.

50%+inorganic content (calcium carbonate)
~41%lower GHG emissions across the product lifecycle, vs. conventional petroleum-based plastic
~97%less water used in manufacturing, vs. conventional paper production

Why manufacturers are looking

Material innovation needs to be practical.

Petroleum dependence, price volatility, tightening sustainability requirements and shifting customer expectations are pushing manufacturers to reconsider material strategy — but any new material has to earn its place on the production line first.

Lifecycle

The material journey

From mineral to manufactured product.

01
RESOURCE

It starts with a mineral.

02
ENGINEERING

Engineered into a new material system.

03
PELLET

Formulated for industrial applications.

04
MANUFACTURING

Designed for established manufacturing processes, depending on grade and application.

05
PRODUCT

From material innovation to manufactured products.

CIRCULARITY

Exploring a more circular material journey.

Injection Molding

LIMEX Pellet is formulated for compatibility with injection molding processes used across consumer goods, industrial parts and promotional products, depending on grade and tooling.

Consumer productsIndustrial partsStationeryHotel amenities

Application-specific evaluation is recommended before production commitment. Contact Seven Dot for process guidance.

Blow Molding

Potential applications include containers and bottles, subject to grade and formulation suitability for blow-molding processes.

ContainersBottles

Material considerations vary by wall thickness and part geometry — worth a conversation before you tool up.

Extrusion

Extrusion processes are among the potential manufacturing routes for LIMEX-based products, including profile and sheet applications, depending on formulation.

SheetProfileIlluminated signage

Line settings typically require adjustment from standard petroleum-based resin — we can help scope a trial run.

Thermoforming

Thermoformed packaging and product applications are among the areas manufacturers are evaluating LIMEX-based sheet material for.

PackagingTrays

Suitability depends on forming temperature and part depth — application-specific evaluation recommended.

Blown Film

Film applications, including bags and flexible packaging, are among the areas of manufacturer interest, depending on formulation and equipment.

Shopping bagsFlexible packaging

Film gauge and additive package both affect processability — talk to us before committing a production run.

Applications

Where manufacturers are exploring LIMEX.

Packaging & Containers

Rigid and semi-rigid packaging formats evaluated against conventional petroleum-based material.

Bottles & Films

Blow-molded and film-based formats, depending on grade and process compatibility.

Industrial & Consumer Products

Manufactured parts and consumer goods where material substitution is under evaluation.

Construction-Related

Select construction and building applications, subject to formulation and code review.

Stationery & Promotional

Everyday products where material story matters as much as function.

Food-Grade & Foodservice

Cups, trays and foodservice items are an area of interest — food-contact suitability depends on formulation and application-specific certification.

Cutlery & Small Format

Single-use and reusable formats where a rigid, food-contact-adjacent material is being explored.

Paper-Alternative Formats

Booklets, reports, menus and printed collateral where a wood-pulp-free, water-resistant substrate is a fit.

Non-Woven Fabric

Span-bond nonwoven applications, an emerging area within the wider LIMEX process family.

Material circularity

Environmental impact must be evaluated in context.

Resource use, petroleum reduction potential, manufacturing energy, recyclability and end-of-life all depend on the actual application, formulation, processing method and transport involved. We'd rather explain the loop honestly than sell it short.

Company story

A journey that started in India. A new chapter in Canada.

The Seven Dot journey began in India, where our team gained experience working with LIMEX material technology and exploring its possibilities across applications and markets. Today, that experience is contributing to a new chapter in Canada.

Why Seven Dot

Your local partner for material transition.

Material Consultation

Working through whether LIMEX fits your product, process and volume before you commit.

Application Evaluation

Grade selection and process considerations specific to your manufacturing line.

Sample Coordination

Getting material into your hands so your team can test before deciding.

Canadian Market Support

Local point of contact for a technology developed on the other side of the world.

Beyond one material

The future is not one material. It's a material system.

LIMEX innovation work extends well beyond LIMEX Pellet, into material circulation, recycled materials and carbon utilization. Seven Dot currently distributes LIMEX Pellet in Canada — the wider ecosystem below reflects the broader research direction of LIMEX's Japanese material technology, not products currently available through Seven Dot.
