★Maika News★ Excellent rigidity (bending elasticity) and dimensional stability! It suppresses molding shrinkage ★Repco News★

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. 　　　　　　　　　↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

The rigidity (bending elasticity) that is a characteristic of mica! It also has a small molding shrinkage rate and excellent dimensional stability, making it suitable for various industrial parts!

Rigidity (Bending Elasticity) Improves the strength of the product and allows it to withstand bending and twisting. Dimensional Stability Reduces shrinkage rates to prevent warping and cracking, and minimizes molding shrinkage to provide surface reinforcement effects. Mica balances molding shrinkage in both the MD (machine direction) and TD (transverse direction). Due to the above characteristics, it is used in various applications such as automotive parts, electronic devices, films, marine coatings, exterior materials, interior materials, sealants, adhesives, gasket materials, and friction materials.

In preparation for this summer's extreme heat, we have completed a "Heatwave Countermeasure Catalog" that will help improve the working environment in the manufacturing and logistics industries. The catalog includes a wide range of products for facility improvements, such as fireproof certified heat-shielding sheets that cut radiant heat by 97%, heat-shielding curtains, roof and window countermeasure products, and fans suitable for large spaces, as well as black globe thermometers that can measure WBGT, wearable alert bands, mobile cooling shelters, and fan-equipped work clothing. We have consolidated measures for "building countermeasures," "work space countermeasures," and "personal countermeasures" into one volume. It can also be used as reference material for discussions in safety and health committees. Please take a look at the specific measures that simultaneously achieve heat countermeasures and energy conservation/CO₂ reduction.

We are pleased to announce the establishment of the "Kyushu Sales Office" aimed at strengthening our business foundation in the Kyushu area. With the opening of the new sales office, we will be able to respond more quickly and flexibly to our customers in the Kyushu region, while enhancing our support system closely tied to the local community. We will also deepen our collaboration with local partner companies, aiming for further growth of our business while strengthening our trust with the community. We kindly ask for your continued support for the Kyushu Sales Office and our company. Thank you very much. 【Overview of Kyushu Sales Office】 Establishment Date: January 1, 2026 Company Name: BM Nagano Co., Ltd. Kyushu Sales Office Location: 1-15-20 Hakataekimae, Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, 812-0011, NMF Hakataekimae Building 2nd Floor

We have recently started a demonstration experiment aimed at addressing antibiotic-resistant bacteria in dairy farming. Utilizing compost environments, we will examine the impact of using our technology-based aqueous solutions on microbial dynamics. This experiment is being conducted with field cooperation, aiming to establish a new approach that contributes to the realization of a sustainable livestock environment and the reduction of antibiotic usage. In this trial, we will set up a spray group (Group H) and a non-spray group (Group C), and will conduct a time-series comparison before spraying, immediately after spraying, and at 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, and 42 days, as well as at the maturation stage. We will perform sampling from the upper, middle, and lower layers of the compost at a depth of 10 cm, while simultaneously collecting temperature logs (external temperature and two internal compost temperatures) to analyze microbial changes and fermentation status from multiple angles. Based on scientific data, we will pursue a balance between safety and effectiveness, and work towards contributing to the livestock industry.

[SCM Brochure Update] We have updated the brochure for the remote-controlled unmanned excavation method, Safety Climber Method, which is promoted by K-F as a supporting member. The name of the latest brochure is: scm_panf_260219.pdf We hope you find it useful. *For technical questions regarding the Safety Climber Method or inquiries about pricing, please contact the Safety Climber Association Secretariat.
