Analysis of mica sheet adhesive components using GC/MS.

It is possible to investigate components that cannot be identified by spectroscopy alone, as well as trace additives that cannot be detected!

We will introduce the analysis of the components of mica sheet adhesive using GC/MS. To investigate what components are contained in the mica sheet, spectroscopic measurements were conducted, suggesting the use of silicone-based adhesives. To examine the composition of the silicone-based adhesive used, GC/MS measurements were performed. It was found that pentacyclooctasiloxane is used, and it was also discovered that plasticizers such as dibutyl phthalate and chain-saturated hydrocarbons like tridecane are added as lubricants. [Mica Sheet Components] ■ Pentacyclooctasiloxane (cage-like polymethylsilsesquioxane) ■ Dibutyl phthalate ■ Chain-saturated hydrocarbons such as tridecane *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Focusing on sandalwood (byakudan), which is used as a raw material for incense! Here is an example of component analysis using GC-MS.

Due to the risk of depletion of natural ingredients, artificially synthesized alternative components may be used, and their identification is suitable through separation and analysis methods such as GCMS. This time, we focused on sandalwood (Byakudan), which is used as a raw material for incense. We tested whether the components of sandalwood could be detected in two types of incense (A and B) with sandalwood scent. In incense A, santanol was detected, whereas in incense B, santanol was not detected, and another aromatic component was found. Among these, bugdanol is a type of synthetic fragrance, and due to its structural characteristics, it is believed to have a sandalwood-like scent. [Components of Incense A] ■ Bugdanol: Trace amount ■ Cedrol: None ■ α-Santalol: Present ■ β-Santalol: Present *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The aldol reaction progresses under the influence of temperature, humidity, and light! Example of impurity analysis in ethanol and acetone.

This is an example of analyzing impurities detected in a solvent when stored in inappropriate conditions. Ethanol, which was stored in a light-protective reagent bottle in a cool, dark place, was transferred to a used plastic wash bottle and left at room temperature for about a month. As a result, impurities such as triethyl borate and alkylbenzenes were detected. Additionally, acetone stored in a light-protective reagent bottle in a cool, dark place was transferred to a transparent glass bottle without light protection and left at room temperature for about a month, resulting in the detection of diacetone alcohol as an impurity. [Impurity Analysis in Ethanol] - Ethanol stored in a light-protective reagent bottle in a cool, dark place was transferred to a used plastic wash bottle and left at room temperature for about a month (the wash bottle was not sealed as the opening was exposed). - Result: Impurities such as triethyl borate and alkylbenzenes were detected. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

It is possible to analyze with high sensitivity using thermal desorption GC-MS analysis! We propose methods tailored to the symptoms of malfunctions and your objectives.

Various additives are used in polymers to improve stability and processability; however, due to environmental impact and long-term storage, additive components may precipitate on the polymer surface, or the additives themselves may undergo chemical changes, leading to discoloration and degradation. This document presents examples of analyses conducted using thermal desorption GC-MS to examine the bleed-out of additives and the chemical changes of additive components due to UV irradiation. Although additive components are present in small quantities compared to the main polymer components, they can be analyzed sensitively using thermal desorption GC-MS. We propose methods tailored to specific issues or objectives, such as predicting product degradation in combination with reliability testing, thermal analysis, and main component analysis, so please feel free to contact us.

By adding a special reagent to the sample and heating it, it becomes possible to detect substances that are usually difficult to detect!

In a typical thermal decomposition GCMS, samples are heated to detect volatile components, but it is difficult to analyze components that do not volatilize upon heating or those with low detection sensitivity. Therefore, by adding a special reagent to the sample and heating it, it becomes possible to detect substances that are usually difficult to identify. For example, in the analysis of polymers, thermal decomposition of the polymer results in the detection of a large number of decomposition products, and in some cases, peaks may overlap with other additives, making analysis challenging. However, by performing reactive thermal decomposition GCMS, it is possible to detect the monomer methyl ester and to separate and analyze it from the additives. Thus, even when the target analyte is difficult to detect using conventional analysis, reactive thermal decomposition GCMS allows for sensitive detection by selecting appropriate reagents for the analyte.

"Somewhat inconvenient" can quickly transform into "cost" and "risk" due to an increase in the number of employees or an expansion of business scope. What we are introducing this time is the process of a home care industry company with around 700 employees verbalizing their frustrations regarding payroll operations and considering the optimal system configuration. When we verbalize "somewhat inconvenient"... 1) The support quality of the payroll system being used is poor, causing significant stress. 2) The number of employees has been on the rise in recent years, raising concerns about running costs due to the pay-per-use system. 3) Macros are being used for data integration with a separate system. 4) We want to make backend processes like payroll payment reports easier.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Caught up in daily data entry, approvals, and inquiries, I want to improve but can't find the time to consider it. Such voices from the field are not uncommon. Even though it's clear that systemization is necessary, the reality is that people often get stuck on where to start and which products to choose. Common frustrations include "I spent time requesting materials and demos, but I'm not sure if it fits my company," and "After implementation, the inquiry contacts are scattered among different manufacturers, making it hard to connect quickly when issues arise." This moves us further away from the original goals of efficiency and reducing dependency on individuals. This is where the option of "agent implementation" comes into focus. Agents that handle products from multiple manufacturers have the advantage of providing unbiased comparisons and neutral proposals without favoring specific products. Even within the same category of systems, they can present the pros and cons side by side for a balanced evaluation. There is also a common misconception regarding pricing; in most cases, there is little to no price difference between direct sales from manufacturers and agents.
