In "FT-IR measurement," by examining the components of minute foreign substances, effective countermeasures can be developed. Compounds absorb specific infrared light energy in certain wavelength regions based on their structure. By knowing which wavelength region of light energy was absorbed, we can determine the types of elements that make up the compound and their bonding states. In the sampling of minute foreign substances, small samples are collected using a micro-sampling device while confirming the sample with a digital microscope. Micro-sampling allows for the collection of foreign substances as small as approximately 30 micrometers, and even embedded minute foreign substances can be collected and measured. [Measurement Principle] - When infrared light is irradiated onto the sample, a characteristic spectrum corresponding to the molecular structure is obtained. - By comparing the spectrum with databases or spectra of reference substances, identification of the sample is performed. - Qualitative analysis of the main components of rubber and resins. - Qualitative analysis of foreign substances adhered to or mixed into products. - Confirmation of structural changes in compounds due to thermal treatment. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

"Raman spectroscopy" is an effective evaluation method for carbon materials as it sensitively reflects their structure. It is an analytical technique that utilizes Raman scattered light emitted from a substance when laser light is irradiated onto it. The Raman scattered light appears shifted by a specific frequency based on the vibrations and rotations of the molecules that make up the substance. The degree of this shift is used to perform molecular structure analysis. DLC, fullerenes, graphite, carbon nanotubes, and diamonds are well-known carbon materials. The Raman spectrum shows the G band (1580 cm-1) that commonly appears in graphite and the D band (1360 cm-1) that is attributed to disorder and defects in the graphite structure. The peak intensity ratio of the D band to the G band (R value: ID/IG) and the full width at half maximum can be used to evaluate the crystallinity and quality of various carbon materials. [Features] ■ Identification of micro impurities (organic compounds or metal oxides) as small as 1 µm ■ Identification of carbon species, evaluation of crystallinity of carbon materials, and analysis of graphitization degree *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Metal materials used in industrial products are treated with surface treatments such as plating and painting to prevent rust formation; however, rust may still occur after prolonged use. The "salt spray test" is a test designed to evaluate the corrosion resistance of metal materials with painted coatings, plated coatings, and inorganic/organic coatings by promoting corrosion. It allows for the assessment of corrosion behavior that typically takes a long time to develop, compressed into a shorter evaluation period. Additionally, the "salt spray cyclic test" combines salt spray with drying and wetting to recreate conditions that are closer to the actual usage environment of the product. The corrosion cycles of salt spray, drying, and wetting can be freely combined according to customer needs, so please feel free to consult us.

Conducting outdoor exposure tests to determine how long a product can be used is fundamental. However, due to reasons such as the need for long testing times, varying results depending on exposure locations, and differing weather conditions each year, a method using "accelerated weathering tests (weather meters)" has been developed to conduct tests in a shorter time frame. Since Japanese industrial products are used in various countries and regions, it is necessary to understand the extent of product degradation under the weather conditions of the locations where they are used. 【Comparison of Weathering Test Light Sources】 <Xenon Arc Lamp Weathering Test> ■ Wavelength Range: Broad spectrum UV irradiation close to sunlight - A testing method that strongly emphasizes the reproducibility of natural degradation conditions compared to other accelerated weathering tests. <Sunshine Carbon Arc Lamp Weathering Test> ■ Wavelength Range: UV irradiation of 315-400nm, several times that of sunlight - Significantly affects the degradation of organic materials. <Metal Halide Lamp Weathering Test> ■ Wavelength Range: Contains almost no thermal components (infrared), with about 20-30 times the ultraviolet amount of sunlight - Super-accelerated degradation effects on coatings and plastics. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

The manufacturing of products involves heating processes such as firing and drying. By analyzing which gases are generated at which temperature ranges, we can implement measures against the emitted gases. "EGA analysis" stands for Evolved Gas Analysis, where samples placed in a specialized cup are heated in a dedicated device with a heating furnace, and the generated gases are directly introduced into a GC-MS. The obtained data is referred to as a thermogram, and the peak intensity indicates the total amount of gas generated and introduced into the GC at that temperature. "Zone analysis" estimates the temperature ranges at which gases are emitted from the thermogram obtained through the EGA method. The temperature ranges are called Zones, and we identify which components of gas are generated in each temperature range. [Features] ■EGA Analysis - Allows confirmation of which temperature range gases are being emitted from the thermogram. ■Zone Analysis - Conducts analysis by specifying temperature regions, allowing confirmation of which temperature range gases are being emitted. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

One of the environmental reliability tests, the "thermal shock test," is designed to accelerate degradation due to thermal stress. It repeatedly applies rapid temperature gradients of high and low temperatures to the test specimen to evaluate the reliability and durability of products and components. There are two types of thermal shock testing machines: air chamber type and liquid chamber type, depending on how the specimen is exposed to cold and heat. In the air chamber type, there are two subtypes: one where the basket holding the sample moves between cold and hot environments, and another where the sample basket is fixed and the temperature is switched between cold and hot using a damper. The choice of which type of equipment to select depends on whether the equipment complies with testing standards such as JIS, the degree of thermal shock to be applied, and the suitable equipment that meets the sample size, quantity, and weight requirements. **Features** - Test that accelerates degradation due to thermal stress - Evaluates the reliability and durability of products and components - Selects suitable equipment that meets the degree of thermal shock, sample size, quantity, and weight - Experienced technicians support condition setting even when test conditions are not clear *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*
