"Daphni Bios Hydro SE" is a biodegradable and flame-retardant hydraulic oil made from synthetic esters that excel in oxidation stability. Due to its excellent biodegradability, even in the event of a leak, it has less impact on the natural environment compared to conventional hydraulic oils, making it suitable for equipment used outdoors. Additionally, synthetic ester-based hydraulic oils have a high flash point, allowing them to be used as flame-retardant hydraulic oils. [Features] - Made with synthetic esters that excel in oxidation stability - Suitable for equipment used outdoors - Flash point is above 250°C, not classified as hazardous materials under fire safety laws - Classified as a flammable liquid - Excellent lubricating properties - Superior compatibility with sealing materials - Contributes to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Since June 2002, the Fire Service Act has established an upper limit for flash points, and lubricating oils with a flash point of 250°C or higher are excluded from hazardous materials and classified as flammable liquids. With the revision of the Fire Service Act, we have been providing high flash point wear-resistant hydraulic fluids "Daphne Super Hydro 46, 68 HF-ST." Idemitsu is enhancing its lineup of "high flash point lubricating oils," which are classified as flammable liquids, and proposing a reduction in the use of hazardous materials. Additionally, not only do these oils have a high flash point, but they also fully satisfy the required performance for each lubricating oil, contributing to improved production efficiency and reduced troubles. **Benefits of Flammable Liquids:** - Self-management is fundamental - Reduction in capital investment - Simplification of daily management - Extension of equipment lifespan *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

Since its establishment in 1974, Yamane Construction Co., Ltd. in Hiroshima Prefecture has contributed to the local community through marine civil engineering using its own marine cranes. We would like to introduce a case where they adopted the biodegradable hydraulic oil "Bioshydro SE." During the operation of the crane vessel, mineral oil was used as the hydraulic operating oil. When conducting river construction near residential areas, it was a challenge to implement measures to prevent oil leakage to demonstrate greater environmental consideration. After the adoption, they were able to utilize it for environmentally conscious projects and promote themselves as a company that is also mindful of environmental issues regarding operating oil, allowing them to differentiate themselves from other companies in terms of environmental considerations. [Case Overview] ■ Background - Oil leakage prevention was a challenge ■ Solution - Adoption of biodegradable hydraulic oil for environmental consideration ■ Effect - Successfully received orders for projects where environmental pollution measures were a key point *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Since its start as a vehicle production factory in 1991, Company C in Fukuoka Prefecture has contributed to the continuous development of manufacturing in Kyushu. We would like to introduce a case where they adopted the energy-saving multifunctional oil "Bashital Force." They were considering further reductions in CO2 emissions and had been soliciting improvement themes internally, but progress was not as expected. As one of the energy-saving measures in the press process, which has high emissions, they adopted the energy-saving multifunctional oil. After adoption, they succeeded in energy savings with the press machine, achieving reductions not only in CO2 but also in electricity costs. [Case Overview] ■ Background - Improvement themes aimed at achieving zero CO2 emissions at the factory were a challenge. ■ Solution - Utilization of Idemitsu's energy-saving multifunctional oil and expertise in measuring energy-saving effects. ■ Effects - Contributed to an average energy saving of 2.3% in the press machine and a reduction of 70 tons of CO2. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Since its establishment in 1947, Company B in Saitama Prefecture has contributed to the local community through machining and assembly technology for automotive parts. We would like to introduce a case study where they adopted the coolant "Master Cool" for machining difficult-to-cut materials. In end mill machining of heat-resistant difficult-to-cut material SUS430, the tool life was shorter compared to machining other materials, leading to the use of coolant at a high concentration. This not only increased the amount of coolant needed but also worsened the workplace environment due to increased stickiness in the machining area. To address the challenges of machining difficult-to-cut materials that require higher processing technology, they adopted a coolant specifically designed for such materials. After adoption, they successfully reduced the coolant supply amount and improved the working environment. [Case Summary] ■ Background - Reduction of liquid supply amount and stickiness of equipment were issues. ■ Solution - By adopting coolant for difficult-to-cut materials, the supply amount was reduced by 50%. ■ Effect - Achieved reduction in liquid supply amount and improvement in the working environment. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Since its establishment as a truck body manufacturer in 1940, Company A in the Tokai area has been responsible for the production of commercial vehicles and contributing to the local community. We would like to introduce a case where they adopted the "Chain Master" for high-temperature drive systems. The painting drying furnace operates in a high-temperature environment of 150 to 180°C to cure the electrocoated paint on the vehicle body. This causes the oil for the conveyor chain inside the furnace to evaporate, leading to increased wear due to reduced lubrication, which shortens the chain's lifespan and increases the frequency of replacements, resulting in significant maintenance costs. After the adoption of the Chain Master, they successfully extended the lifespan of the chain and were able to reduce maintenance costs. 【Case Overview】 ■ Background - Maintenance costs for the chain used in the painting drying furnace were an issue. ■ Solution - Adoption of the Chain Master to suppress oil film depletion. ■ Effect - Successfully extended the lifespan of the chain and contributed to the reduction of maintenance costs and oil consumption. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
