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. 　　　　　　　　　↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

At the entrance of a real estate company in Minato-ku, Tokyo, we have introduced the rental service "Majesta Fragrance" for commercial aroma diffusers, creating a fragrant atmosphere in the space. With the new start of the office relocation on April 1st, a high-quality and sophisticated scent suitable for this new beginning is spreading throughout the entrance. The "scent" that visitors first experience is one of the important elements that naturally conveys the company's impression and dignity. At Majesta Fragrance, we support the enhancement of corporate branding value through the production of scents tailored to the spatial concept. We also offer a free trial installation, so please experience the atmospheric effects that scent can bring. If you are interested in scent design, please feel free to contact us.

We will be exhibiting at the Thermal Tech 2026 event held at the Osaka Industrial Creation Center. At this exhibition, we will introduce our unique material technologies to engineers who face challenges in material selection for high-temperature environments, focusing on polyimide sheets suitable for high heat resistance and insulation applications. As attendance is by prior registration, please register through the related link before visiting, and we hope you will stop by our booth. We sincerely look forward to your visit. ◆ Our main exhibition content - PI Plates (Polyimide Laminates) - SUS/Polyimide Substrates ◆ Exhibition Details ◆ Exhibition Name: Thermal Tech 2026 (Pre-registration required) Pre-registration Method: Please register via the URL in the related link Date and Time: April 24, 2026 (Friday) 10:30 AM - 4:30 PM Venue: Osaka Industrial Creation Center, 3rd and 4th Floors (Reception on the 4th Floor)

From June 2025, measures against heat stroke in the workplace have become mandatory. Additionally, in December 2026, a "Support Package for Heat Wave Measures in Construction Work" was formulated, making heat stroke prevention during the summer a pressing issue, especially for those engaged in the construction industry. This time, we provide a collection of heat stroke prevention materials that can be utilized through Sysmet Co., Ltd.'s comprehensive weather platform, ZEROSAI X-AI. Examples of heat stroke prevention measures possible with ZEROSAI X-AI: - Cloud management of heat stroke information - Forecasting of the heat index (WBGT) tailored to the site with a mesh of 500m for up to 17 days ahead - Observation of the heat index (WBGT) in compliance with JIS standards using a black globe thermometer - Alerts for exceeding work standard values for the heat index (WBGT) via electronic bulletin boards, emails, and business chat tools like direct LINE WORKS We hope this will be useful at your sites as well.
