• Other polymer materials

Our company is developing a hydrophilic coating material using a titania sol liquid in which titanium dioxide (TiO2) is dispersed as nanoparticles. Our hydrophilic coating material excels in hydrophilicity, transparency, and self-cleaning functionality. The superhydrophilicity of titanium dioxide refers to the phenomenon where the surface of titanium dioxide becomes highly compatible with water when exposed to ultraviolet light, causing water droplets to spread thinly and form a film. This allows water droplets to spread across the surface, encapsulating dirt and washing it away, thereby exhibiting a self-cleaning effect. Our titania sol liquid can be applied in various applications such as high refractive index materials, anti-fogging materials, photocatalysts, and anti-reflective materials. By using a single nano-sized titania sol liquid manufactured through our unique sol-gel synthesis technology, it is possible to form transparent and uniform thin films on the order of several tens of nanometers. Since it can form a highly transparent thin film on substrates, it demonstrates anti-fogging performance due to superhydrophilicity and self-cleaning performance due to photocatalytic functionality when applied to automotive mirrors, building glass, outdoor cameras, and more.

• Chemicals

A transparent paint using porous structure technology can achieve a low refractive index surface. By suppressing reflected light, it prevents light reflection on glass surfaces and reduces glare. Additionally, it can improve the light transmission rate. Since the porous structure anti-reflective material is made of inorganic substances, it can minimize aging deterioration.

Fukui Canon Materials conducts contract purification known as "column purification." Column purification is a method where a filling material is packed into a cylindrical container called a column, and the target substance to be purified, dissolved in a solvent, is passed through to achieve separation and purification. By utilizing the affinity between the filling material and the solvent, as well as differences in molecular size, it is possible to efficiently achieve high purity for substances that are difficult to purify through distillation. Fukui Canon Materials possesses large-capacity columns up to φ950 and can accommodate everything from research and development to mass production. Additionally, there is sublimation purification equipment located on the same premises as the column purification, providing expertise in various purification methods. ★ We are currently offering a free collection of case studies and illustrated materials.
