■Concerns to be resolved and goals to be achieved We received an inquiry about wanting to apply an anti-static coating to thin aluminum parts used in semiconductor equipment. The conventional fluorine-based anti-static coatings required high firing temperatures, which raised concerns about distortion in the aluminum parts. We were looking for a coating that could provide anti-static properties and was less prone to distortion even for thin aluminum parts. ■Coating adopted Saflon LF+ ■Effects achieved Among the Saflon series, Saflon LF+ has a low minimum firing temperature of below 100°C, which is expected to reduce distortion caused by firing, so we proposed it. We confirmed the provision of anti-static properties and resolution of distortion issues through tests and prototypes, leading to its adoption for product coating. The newly developed Saflon LF+ is an anti-static fluororesin coating that can accommodate various environments and applications of our customers.

**Coating for Improved Rust and Corrosion Resistance** Stainless steel is inherently a material with excellent corrosion resistance, but if you want to further enhance its rust and corrosion resistance, it is necessary to apply a coating. Generally, coatings are applied using paints such as epoxy resin or polyurethane. These paints are known for their durability and weather resistance, providing high rust prevention effectiveness even in environments with corrosive gases or saltwater. For use in even harsher environments, it is also possible to coat with highly corrosion-resistant fluoropolymer resins. For example, resins like PFA and PTFE excel in chemical resistance and can be used in environments with strong acids or strong alkalis. If you are considering improving the corrosion resistance of stainless steel pipes used in harsh environments, we recommend fluoropolymer coating. *For more details on fluoropolymer coatings, please refer to the materials or feel free to contact us.*
