This is a cross-linked fluororesin coating that improves wear resistance. Due to its excellent properties, it is used in areas with severe wear and friction. Cross-linking is a reaction that bonds molecules together as if a bridge were built between them. "Cross-linked fluororesin" utilizes this reaction, and because the structure between molecules is stable, it exhibits remarkable wear resistance. The wear resistance of cross-linked fluororesin shows values approximately 3 to 5 times higher compared to conventional PFA resin. 【Features】 ■ Super wear resistance not found in previous fluororesins ■ Excellent properties similar to fluororesins ■ The unevenness of the coating reduces the contact area, improving non-stick and sliding performance ■ Complies with food sanitation laws *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "KP-10 Series" is a coating that exhibits release properties due to a silicone-like substance covering the surface through a compound reaction. It is highly resistant to physical tack, demonstrating release properties with adhesive materials such as tape, and shows higher non-stickiness than fluororesin coatings. Additionally, because the surface layer does not separate and exhibits release without adhering to the opposing side, it has greater durability compared to other release coatings. 【Features】 ■ Possesses ultra non-stick performance effective with various adhesives ■ The coating film does not separate, ensuring high performance durability ■ Shows good adhesion to various metals and rubber The KP-10 Series consists of three types, each differing in non-stick performance and surface roughness.

We would like to introduce a case that solved the problems faced by outdoor specialty manufacturers and food container manufacturers. 【Problems】 ◆ The coating on food containers used outdoors peels off quickly. ◆ Therefore, they are looking for a surface treatment with excellent durability. 【Improvements】 Ceramic coating has excellent heat resistance (up to 300°C) and achieves higher heat resistance than fluorine coatings. With a Mohs hardness of 9H, it also boasts excellent durability, which helps to suppress the peeling of the coating when using metal spatulas. It is used in heat-resistant parts of cooking utensils and as industrial heat-resistant paint. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study that solved the problems faced by device manufacturers and parts manufacturers. 【Problems】 Copper materials, which have high thermal conductivity, are often used in heat sources and similar applications. At the typical processing temperature of fluoropolymer coatings (380°C), an oxide film forms on copper, leading to delamination between the oxide film and the copper itself. As a result, coating materials that require high processing temperatures cannot be used. This presents several issues, including many differences from standard surface treatments and lower durability. 【Improvements】 By using a coating material that has a low processing temperature, suppresses the formation of the copper oxide film, and has heat resistance comparable to fluoropolymer resins, we have achieved improvements. The non-stick performance and durability are also significantly enhanced. (Product model number KP-491-1) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study that solved the problems faced by cleaning equipment manufacturers, semiconductor equipment manufacturers, and plating equipment manufacturers. 【Problem】 ◆ Fluororesin is coated, but when an alkaline cleaning solution is used in the cleaning process, the coating peels off immediately. 【Improvement】 Many primers (adhesives) for fluororesin coatings expand in alkaline conditions, and depending on the concentration, there are many cases where they peel off quickly. Additionally, alkaline solutions can penetrate through pinholes (small holes) in the painted area, eventually pushing up the coating from the inside and causing it to peel off. At our company, we carefully conduct hearings with customers about their usage environment, and if it is determined that a high concentration alkaline solution is being used, we utilize a special primer that is resistant to alkaline solutions. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where we solved the problems faced by packing manufacturers and sterilization device manufacturers. 【Problems】 Silicone packing sticks to the opposing side and gets damaged. The silicone itself is very difficult to treat on the surface, making it hard to adhere. Additionally, unlike coatings on metals, packing materials stretch, so if the paint has poor followability, it often results in cracking or peeling. 【Effects】 We proposed our silicone-based fluororesin coating (our product number: KP-421-1) to the customer. This coating adheres well to silicone materials and forms a flexible and highly adhesive film, especially to rubber. As a result of coating the entire surface of the packing, sticking has improved, and the issue of damage has been eliminated. *For more detailed information, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where we solved the problems faced by a manufacturer of retreaded tires. [Problems] ■ Coating peels off in a short period ■ Performance lifespan is short and needs improvement [Improvements] Since studless tires have blades inserted into the mold, the structure is complex, and coatings often do not reach the finer details. We have made it possible to coat even the finer details by using a special painting gun, adjusting the number of painting cycles, and maintaining a constant temperature of the mold during painting. Additionally, we have successfully achieved durability by obtaining endurance data from tests across various types and using carefully selected coating materials. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Crosslinking refers to the process of bonding molecules that were previously independent, similar to building a bridge between them. There are various methods for this, including radiation exposure, the addition of crosslinking agents, and chemical crosslinking. Epoxy resins, which harden when two liquids are mixed, also undergo this reaction to become solid. "Crosslinked fluoropolymer" utilizes this reaction, resulting in a structure that is stable between molecules, providing remarkable wear resistance. By blending it, the wear resistance shows values approximately 3 to 5 times higher compared to conventional PFA resins. 【Features】 ■ Ultra wear resistance not found in previous fluoropolymers ■ Excellent properties similar to fluoropolymers ■ The unevenness of the coating reduces the contact area, enhancing non-stick and slip performance ■ Complies with food sanitation laws *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
