General grade with high purity and high aspect ratio. Phlogopite, derived from the Greek word "phlogopos," meaning "like a flame."

The "Repkomica S Series" is a product made from naturally occurring mica that has been refined and crushed at a domestic factory. It maximizes the high elasticity inherent in mica through manufacturing techniques developed over many years, resulting in a high aspect ratio (average particle size/thickness), which is a key feature of flake fillers. When incorporated into industrial materials such as plastics, paints, and rubber, it is expected to impart various functionalities centered around rigidity, dimensional stability, and heat resistance. 【Features】 ■ Long-term supply stability due to abundant reserves ■ Quality stability through domestic production system ■ No crystalline silica detected (detection level: below quantification limit) ■ Various grades available based on average particle size ■ Flexible response to custom grade orders and surface treatments ■ Short delivery times supported by domestic bases Please feel free to download for more detailed information. 　　　　　　　　　↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Demonstrates high cost performance! Easily applicable to products that require high whiteness and colorability.

The "Repkomica M Series" is a product made from naturally occurring muscovite that has been refined and crushed at a domestic factory. It has a high whiteness and can be easily incorporated into products that require coloring. Additionally, it excels in insulation resistance, making it particularly high-performing in applications such as electronic components. When filled into industrial materials like plastics, paints, and rubber, it is expected to improve and impart properties such as rigidity, dimensional stability, and heat resistance. 【Features】 ■ High whiteness and easy incorporation into products requiring coloring ■ Excellent insulation resistance ■ Particularly high performance in applications such as electronic components ■ Expected to improve and impart properties such as rigidity, dimensional stability, and heat resistance ■ Flexible response to surface treatment and custom grade production ■ Short delivery times supported by domestic facilities

◆ Developing a stable supply system centered around our domestic factories ◆ High cost-performance due to processing raw materials with dry grinding! ◆ Custom-made products are also available

"Mica" is a mineral classified as a silicate aluminum compound. The mica products we handle are high-purity, high-quality, high-aspect-ratio flaky powders, and we have established a stable supply system centered around our domestic factories. We offer a wide range of grades with average particle sizes from a few micrometers to several hundred micrometers, allowing for flexible responses tailored to our customers' applications and requests. Additionally, since we mainly process raw materials for dry grinding, we achieve high cost performance. 【Features】 ■ A mineral classified as a silicate aluminum compound ■ Harmless to the human body and eco-friendly ■ High-purity, high-quality, high-aspect-ratio flaky powders ■ A stable supply system centered around our domestic factories ■ Flexible responses tailored to customers' applications and requests Please feel free to download for more detailed information. 　　　　　　　　　↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Mica is used as NAO material for brake pads! Since 1990, mica has been used as a filler to replace asbestos.

Slipperiness (sliding property) Enhances the sliding characteristics of molded products and smoothens the surface. Mica is mainly used as the NAO (Non-Asbestos Organic) material for brake pads. Since the discontinuation of asbestos in 1990, mica has been the filler that has been switched to. With mica's unique moderate friction effect, it can prevent squeaking, reduce slipping, and eliminate abnormal noises. Repco mica is also used primarily in friction materials, as well as in rubber, mold release agents, and adhesives. For more detailed information, feel free to download. 　　　　　　　　　↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

An article has been published about the case of introducing the expense reimbursement system "Rakuraku Seisan" at TSP Corporation. ~ In the case of TSP ~ Before the introduction, there were challenges such as dealing with the "paper" sent from various locations and the reliance on specific individuals for the tasks. After the introduction, the input and checking of FB data, which used to take 2 to 3 hours, can now be completed in just 5 minutes. Additionally, the mindset of the accounting department, which was previously reliant on manual entry, has changed. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges before introduction - Dealing with "paper" sent from various locations, reliance on specific individuals ■ Key points of introduction - A robust support system for setup and operation - Easy to start from a small scale both financially and functionally *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

The facility operating the nurse call system has made the bed exit sensor wireless, allowing it to notify in conjunction with the nurse call. By simply connecting the mat sensor "Foldable Thin Matt-kun," the body movement call "Ugo-kun," and the wheelchair body movement call "Ayumi-chan" to the transmitter HB-RS, you can make the bed exit sensor wireless. The infrared sensor "Just Place Pole-kun" has the transmitter HB-RS built-in. 【Features】 ○ Wireless conversion by simply connecting existing sensors to the transmitter HB-WSK. ○ The bed exit sensor notifies wirelessly in conjunction with the nurse call. ○ Up to 5 transmitters can be registered with one receiver. ○ The communication distance between the transmitter and receiver is approximately 10 meters. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Full and empty management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, achieving efficient parking lot operations. ■ For large parking lots, the "floor management method" and "block management method," which focus on cost reduction, are recommended. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count the number of vehicles passing through. This method offers the advantage of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 ■ For smaller scale operations, the "space management method," which installs sensors in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy, is recommended. By ensuring accurate full and empty displays, it helps prevent unnecessary entry of new vehicles and enables safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8
