Conductive paste is a general term for paste-like inks that disperse conductive fillers such as silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and carbon. In recent years, its use has expanded beyond products like resistors and capacitors to include membrane switches, the formation of thin-film transistors and memory used in liquid crystal displays and organic LEDs, integrated circuits, solar cells, and various sensors, making it a necessary material for recent products. We would like to introduce the products we handle for conductive paste. Here are the "thickening and dispersing agents," which are auxiliary materials for conductive paste. [Representative Products] EC (Ethyl Cellulose) PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone) HPC (Hydroxypropyl Cellulose) HEC (Hydroxyethyl Cellulose) Xanthan Gum *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Advanced ceramics refer to products that incorporate new functions and characteristics into ceramics. In recent years, they have expanded beyond traditional pottery applications to include functional materials for uses in electrical and electronic fields. The materials added can vary due to the mixing of diverse materials and differences in the structure and manufacturing methods of the final products. However, the selection of binders, which is often overlooked in ceramic molding, is a crucial factor in maintaining shape, plasticity, thermal decomposition, and controlling rheology. Our company offers a range of products including cellulose derivatives and acetylene derivative copolymers. 【Representative Products】 ■ MC (Methyl Cellulose) ■ HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose) ■ HPC (Hydroxypropyl Cellulose) ■ HEMC (Hydroxyethyl Methylcellulose) ■ Vinyl Pyrrolidone and Copolymers ■ Methyl Vinyl Ether/Maleic Anhydride Copolymer ■ Alkylated Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone 【Required Performance】 ■ Binder Performance ■ Rheology Control Performance ■ Thermal Decomposition Performance *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The paints applied to the inner and outer surfaces of steel structures such as buildings, highways, and bridges require regular collection, and repairs to the paint film are carried out everywhere. The target paint films and surrounding environments are not the same. Additionally, in order to improve the working environment for operators, protect the global environment (non-organic solvents), and simplify the treatment of peeled paint films, there is a rapid shift towards water-based solutions. Additives that can accommodate various factors such as application methods (spray, brush, roller), pH of the stripping agent, and temperature during application are necessary. Our company can propose additives that stabilize the viscosity of the product itself, reduce dripping on vertical surfaces, and improve various application methods. We handle a wide range of cellulose derivatives and fine powder silica products to meet various needs. 【Applications】 ■ Water-based paint stripping agents 【Representative Products】 ■ MC (Methyl Cellulose) ■ HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose) ■ HPC (Hydroxypropyl Cellulose) ■ Fine powder silica products 【Characteristics】 ■ Stable product quality ■ Drip prevention (rheology control) ■ Improvement of work for each application method *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

<Thickening Agents for Water-Based Paints> In recent years, paints for construction and other applications have been transitioning from solvent-based to water-based systems due to environmental issues (such as VOC problems). The formulations have also become more complex, and thickening agents used in water-based paints include cellulose-based thickening agents, associative thickening agents, and inorganic types, depending on the characteristics and performance of the paint. <Proposal from MP Gokyo Food & Chemical> We would like to introduce our product, 'Xanthan Gum', as an additive for water-based paints. Xanthan gum is a natural thickening agent with high safety, possessing pseudoplastic properties, and is a natural fermented polysaccharide. This document includes comparative data from our technical department on other thickening agents (basic performance and when added to clear paint). 【Representative Products】 ■ 'Monart Gum DA and HP' ■ 'Labore Gum GS-C' 【Expectations for Water-Based Paints】 ■ Generates sufficient viscosity even at low addition levels ■ Good paint flow at low shear ■ Prevents sagging after application ■ No viscosity changes in paint due to temperature variations in winter or summer 【This document provides comparative evaluations for clear paints】 ■: Viscosity, sag resistance, film haze ■ Temperature dependence of clear viscosity *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

<Additives for Paints and Inks> In addition to the resins (acrylic, epoxy, urethane, silicone, fluorine) that serve as the main materials for the paint film, additives are required according to solvents (water-based, solvent-based), applications (construction (interior, exterior), plastic, metal), coating methods (spray, roller, brush, inkjet, powder), and film performance (durability, slip properties, anti-blocking, gloss adjustment, etc.). 【Thickeners】 Performance: Appropriate viscosity depending on application ■ Water-based: Hydroxyethyl cellulose, xanthan gum (pseudoplastic), tamarind seed gum (Newtonian fluid) ■ Solvent-based: Ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate butyrate 【Rheology Control Agents】 Performance: Thixotropic, rheological improvement, splash resistance, leveling improvement ■ Water-based and solvent-based: Non-ionic synthetic associative thickeners ■ Water-based: Hydrophobic hydroxyethyl cellulose 【Film Performance】 Performance: Durability (abrasion resistance, scratch resistance), slip properties, anti-blocking, gloss adjustment, texture modification ■ Functional fine powder wax additives ■ Microparticles, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
