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

"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. 　　　　　　　　　↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily visible at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

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.
