To the toy molding company, we would like to introduce examples of how we quickly developed materials by leveraging our extensive knowledge. Due to the closure of the material manufacturer, a switch to new materials was necessary within four months. Although this was a new request for us, we promptly proposed materials that met the requirements. By adjusting the materials on-site to fit the production equipment, we were able to complete the process from request to delivery within four months. 【Case Overview】 ■ Background - A switch to new materials was necessary within four months due to the closure of the material manufacturer. ■ Effects - Completed the process from request to delivery in just under four months. - The materials were tailored to the equipment, allowing for a smooth transition. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

To food sample manufacturers, we would like to introduce examples of how we have utilized our expertise in addressing various regulatory compliance issues to swiftly develop and propose materials. Due to their high reproducibility, food samples have been a concern regarding accidental ingestion. Our company quickly developed materials that comply with the Food Sanitation Act. While this is not a fundamental solution to the issue of accidental ingestion, we have achieved products that use only relatively safe materials. 【Case Overview】 ■ Background - As one approach to the issue of accidental ingestion, compliance with the Food Sanitation Act was considered, but it had not been realized due to high hurdles. ■ Effects - Differentiation of products through prompt regulatory compliance. - Achievement of products that use only relatively safe materials. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

"Kobazole" is a general term for liquid materials manufactured and sold by Kobayashi Co., Ltd. It primarily consists of polyvinyl chloride, and we propose materials that impart the necessary characteristics according to the customer's applications and molding methods. We have prepared a wealth of materials related to Kobazole. For more details, please download the catalog or feel free to contact us. ■ Kobazole User Manual This manual summarizes various aspects of handling Kobazole, from the characteristics of the material to usage and molding methods. It also explains why it hardens when heat is applied and discusses its behavior. ■ Thermal Properties of Flexible Polyvinyl Chloride This document explains the thermal properties of general flexible polyvinyl chloride. It also introduces Kobazole product numbers with excellent thermal properties. ■ What is Liquid Plastic? We answer the question, "What are the advantages of liquid materials?" Our company also handles liquid materials such as epoxy and urethane, so this is a document we encourage those seeking new materials to read.

"Thermoplastic Styrene Elastomer (TPS)" is a highly versatile thermoplastic resin that offers great freedom in design and manufacturing. Compared to the time-consuming processing of rubber, it can be processed using methods employed for thermoplastic plastics, such as extrusion molding and injection molding. Our company is particularly focused on the development of low-hardness and highly elastic styrene elastomers among thermoplastic elastomers. Samples are available for distribution, but due to limited availability, there may be a delivery time of about one month after receiving your request. 【Features】 ■ Low hardness A0–A30 ■ High transparency ■ High elasticity (kickback property) ■ Proposals for custom orders that major manufacturers are hesitant to handle ■ Can be molded using general-purpose injection molding machines *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

"Liquid plastic" is a highly flexible material that can be utilized in a wide range of fields, from everyday products to industrial applications, due to its advantages in accommodating various molding methods such as injection molding and dip molding. The composition of liquid plastic consists of a main resin component and necessary additives. The resin components primarily include PVC, polyurethane, and epoxy, with the possibility of incorporating silicone and emulsions as needed. Currently, we are offering technical information regarding liquid plastic. [Contents] ■ How to use liquid plastic ■ Examples of liquid plastic applications ■ Three benefits of utilization ■ Appropriate liquid plastic diagnostic sheet *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Are you struggling with "unstable colors" or "not achieving the ideal color"? Kobayashi's liquid materials have a proven track record across a wide range of industries, from industrial products to everyday items. In particular, our reliable color matching technology, developed through the creation of toys and food samples that require delicate color coordination, faithfully reproduces the colors you envision. We will propose colored materials based on actual samples or standard color samples (PANTONE, Nippon Paint, DIC). Please feel free to contact us first.

In the electronics industry, it is important to protect internal components from external shocks and vibrations in order to enhance product durability and reliability.
