With the advancement of electronic devices, heat dissipation materials are required to have "long-term reliability," "stable thermal conductivity," and "low outgassing and low ionic impurities." SILCOOL TIG400BX is a high thermal conductivity silicone oil compound developed by Momentive, and its significant feature is the design that greatly reduces oil separation (oil bleed), which tends to be a problem with conventional oil-based greases. As stated in the TDS, "compared to conventional oil compounds, oil separation is very low, ensuring high reliability," highlighting its stability in long-term usage environments. The thermal conductivity is high at 4.0 W/mk, and it maintains performance over a wide temperature range of -40 to 150°C, making it suitable for high thermal load applications such as industrial equipment, communication devices, and automotive electronic components. The ionic impurities (Na⁺, K⁺, Cl⁻) are also extremely low, making it suitable for designs that aim to reduce the risk of corrosion in electronic components.

The spread of cashless payments, the generalization of biometric authentication through smartphones, and the rising social demand for measures against counterfeiting and imitation products. These are often discussed in different contexts, but they share a common underlying technical challenge: "How to accurately and cost-effectively identify and authenticate goods and information in a form that is difficult to counterfeit." In recent years, optical thin film technology has emerged as a strong presence in addressing this challenge. Optical phenomena such as interference effects from dielectric multilayers, plasmon resonance in metal thin films, and diffraction/scattering control through microstructures provide "security at the physical layer" that cannot be achieved solely through electronic circuits or software. IC chips and algorithms are always at risk of reverse engineering and side-channel attacks, whereas thin films controlled at the nanometer scale...

The retail industry is currently at a significant turning point. With the expansion of the e-commerce market, physical stores are increasingly required to provide "experiential value that cannot be achieved online." As the concept of "OMO (Online Merges with Offline)" permeates, eliminating the boundaries between online and offline and integrating customer experiences, a variety of devices such as digital signage, self-checkout systems, smart mirrors, AR fitting displays, and electronic shelf labels (ESL) are being rapidly introduced in stores. A common requirement for these devices is surface treatment technology that simultaneously achieves "visibility," "durability," "hygiene," and "design." Issues such as signage being hard to see due to reflections from store lighting, touch panels deteriorating quickly from scratches and dirt due to frequent customer contact, and the desire to project images onto the glass of display windows without compromising transparency are prevalent. Chapter 1: Environmental Changes Surrounding the Retail and Store Industry and the Trend of OMO Chapter 2: Optical Thin Film Technology Required for Store Devices in the OMO Era Chapter 3: The Added Value Brought by Patterning Processing Chapter 4: Towards Co-Creation with the Retail and Store Industry—The Value That Artisan Coatings Can Provide Conclusion For more details, please visit our company website.

In the current era of accelerating high output and miniaturization of electronic devices, the reliability of power devices and various heat-generating components is determined not merely by heat sinks or enclosure structures, but by the "thermal management of interfaces" that connect heat sources and heat dissipation materials. How to reduce the thermal resistance at the interface and maintain stable thermal conductivity over the long term directly impacts product lifespan, safety, and performance. Therefore, the selection of thermal grease has become an important functional material that should be considered from the design stage, rather than just an auxiliary material. Momentive's SilCOOL TIG1000 series is a silicone oil compound in a white grease form, developed to meet these advanced thermal design needs. It is positioned as an easy-to-handle heat dissipation material suitable for mass production processes such as automatic syringe application, screen printing, and stamp printing on assembly lines. The thermal conductivity is stable at 1.0 W/(m·K), and the usable temperature range is wide, from -40 to 170°C. It exhibits excellent thermal conductivity and electrical insulation over a broad temperature range, making it ideal for heat dissipation of various heat-generating components such as power devices, and it is suitable for heat dissipation applications in power and control systems where high reliability is required.

Labor shortages, the expansion of the EC market, and the diversification of small lot production— the logistics and warehousing industry is currently undergoing digital transformation (DX) at an unprecedented pace. Supporting the next-generation logistics known as "smart logistics" are optical components that work behind the scenes, such as automated guided vehicles (AGV/AMR), automatic sorting systems using image recognition, barcode and QR code scanners, and picking robots with 3D vision. If sensors and cameras cannot accurately recognize objects, no matter how advanced the control algorithms or AI are, the overall performance of the system will not be realized. The technologies that underpin recognition accuracy, response speed, and durability are optical thin films (coatings) and patterning processing.

Addition-curing silicone is widely used in various industrial fields such as potting, bonding, coating, and molding of electronic components due to its excellent heat resistance, electrical insulation, and weather resistance. However, in the field, troubles such as "it doesn't cure even though I mixed it according to the recipe," "only the surface is sticky and doesn't cure," and "only the parts that come into contact with specific jigs or substrates experience curing failure" occur quite frequently. Many of these phenomena are referred to as "cure inhibition." Cure inhibition is not due to the poor quality of the silicone itself, but rather occurs when trace amounts of chemicals contained in the surrounding environment or contact materials interfere with the function of the catalyst responsible for the curing reaction. Even trace amounts of the causative substances can have an impact, making it difficult to identify the cause, which can lead to significant yield loss and complaints in the production site.

Mechanism of Occurrence Chapter 3: Main Causative Substances and Sources of Cure Inhibition Chapter 4: How to Identify Cure Inhibition and Practical Countermeasures Summary For more details, please check our company website.

The rapid spread of generative AI and the expansion of cloud services have placed data centers around the world in the midst of unprecedented levels of capital investment and technological innovation. The volume of data that needs to be processed continues to increase exponentially, and along with this, the heat generation, power consumption, and demands on communication bandwidth per server rack are becoming increasingly severe each year. Traditional electrical wiring for signal transmission faces physical barriers such as signal degradation and increased power consumption as transmission distances grow, leading to a rapid rise in expectations for technologies that utilize "light" as a solution. Optical communication, optical interconnects, optical sensing, and high-efficiency heat dissipation and shielding structures—many of these foundational technologies supporting data centers are deeply connected to optical thin films and the associated fine patterning processing technologies.

We propose Momentive's SILCOOLTIA268GF as a material that meets the increasing "difficulty of thermal design" associated with the high performance and high density of electronic devices. TIA268GF is a thermally conductive gap filler that can be applied with high precision using liquid dispensing, addressing complex shapes and fine clearances that traditional sheet-type gap fillers cannot handle. With a high thermal conductivity of 6.8 W/m·K and silicone properties that maintain flexibility even after curing, it minimizes temperature rise in heat-generating components while reducing stress on substrates and components. Additionally, TIA268GF features excellent processability with a simple 1:1 mixing ratio, a working time of 1 hour at 23°C, and rapid curing in 1 hour at 70°C, enabling stable dispensing application on mass production lines. Its highly non-sagging paste form allows it to "stay in place" on vertical surfaces and wide gaps, making it suitable for thermal management in a wide range of fields such as automotive ECUs, communication devices, and industrial equipment. At Adachi New Industry, we provide comprehensive support for optimizing thermal design, examining application conditions, and prototype assistance using TIA268GF.

Japan is one of the world's leading earthquake-prone countries, living in close proximity to various natural disasters such as earthquakes, heavy rains, landslides, and volcanic activity. In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, the initial response and the search and rescue operations for victims require urgent decision-making, and the performance of the equipment and sensing technologies that support these decisions greatly influences the number of lives that can be saved. At Adachi New Industry Co., Ltd., we have cultivated specialized technologies in optical thin films and patterning processing over many years. After organizing the technical requirements needed in disaster prevention and rescue scenarios, we will explain how optical thin films can address these challenges, along with specific application scenes. Finally, we will propose the form of "co-creation" that we aim for. We hope this will provide new hints for engineers and technicians involved in the development of disaster prevention technology, rescue robotics, and sensing devices. Chapter 1: Technical Challenges Faced in Disaster Prevention and Rescue Sites Chapter 2: Technical Elements Where Optical Thin Films Can Contribute Chapter 3: Examination of Specific Application Scenes Chapter 4: Advancement Through Combination with Patterning Processing Conclusion: Proposal for Co-Creation For more details, please refer to our company website.

Momentive's "TSE322S" is a one-component, heat-curing silicone adhesive sealant optimized for assembly applications where thermal, mechanical, and environmental stresses act in combination, such as in electronic devices and optical modules. This material forms a silicone network with excellent heat resistance, flexibility, and electrical insulation based on a siloxane backbone, achieving high adhesion strength and dimensional stability through heat curing. Since it does not generate by-products during curing, the risk of gas corrosion and void formation is low even in sealed structures and around electronic components, making it suitable for applications requiring long-term reliability. A major feature of TSE322S is its interface formation technology that does not require a primer. The formulation design is less dependent on the polarity and surface energy of the substrate surface, allowing it to exhibit a chemical and physical composite adhesion mechanism to metals such as aluminum, copper, and stainless steel, engineering plastics such as PPS, PBT, and epoxy, as well as inorganic materials like glass and ceramics. This ensures high adhesion stability even in complex module structures that combine dissimilar materials. For more details, please check our website.

In the semiconductor and FPD manufacturing process, photomasks are an essential "original plate" for transferring circuit patterns. In recent years, with the increasing precision and diversification of exposure equipment, there has been a growing demand not only for the performance of photomasks themselves but also for value-added proposals through their combination with surrounding optical technologies. One such integration is with "anti-reflective coatings (AR coatings)." This document will explain the significance and technical challenges of combining photomasks with anti-reflective coatings, as well as the potential for co-creation proposals unique to Adachi New Industry, which specializes in optical thin films and patterning processes, divided into four chapters. Chapter 1: The challenge of "reflection" in photomasks Chapter 2: Compatibility issues between general anti-reflective coatings and photomasks Chapter 3: An approach from the perspective of low-temperature processes Chapter 4: Photomask × Anti-reflective coating - The form of co-creation proposals Summary For more details, please visit our company website.

Momentive's "TSE382" is a one-component, oxime-based condensation RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanizing) silicone that reacts with moisture in the air to promote crosslinking reactions. In its uncured state, it is a low-viscosity paste, and after curing, it becomes an elastic rubber that forms a highly crosslinked siloxane network structure. Since it employs an oxime-based condensation reaction, it is a "neutral curing type" that does not release corrosive by-products such as acetic acid during the curing process. It exhibits high adhesion strength to aluminum, stainless steel, zinc die-cast, and various engineering plastics (such as ABS, PC, PBT, epoxy, etc.) without the need for surface treatment. In particular, due to the flexibility of the siloxane chains and their low surface energy, it spreads and wets the fine irregularities of the substrate surface, demonstrating a cohesive failure type of adhesion mode with high interfacial adhesion. For more details, please visit our website.

The home appliance and gadget industry is currently at a significant turning point. With the advent of IoT, all devices are now equipped with sensors and cameras, new wearable devices such as AR/VR devices and smart glasses are being launched into the market one after another, and smart home devices commonly come with displays and touch panels. Supporting the high functionality and added value of these products behind the scenes are optical thin film and patterning processing technologies. Suppressing lens reflections, optimizing sensor sensitivity, making fingerprints and dirt less likely to adhere, allowing current to flow while transmitting light through transparent conductive films—these are all achieved by forming functional thin films on the substrate surface at the nanometer scale and sometimes creating fine patterns. Trend 1: Miniaturization and high definition of sensor windows and optical thin films Trend 2: AR/VR, smart glasses, and anti-reflective and anti-fouling coatings Trend 3: Smart home devices and anti-fog, antibacterial, and self-cleaning functional films Trend 4: Integration of touch panels, transparent electrodes, and patterning processing The value that expert coatings can provide For more details, please visit our company website.

In the assembly process of electronic devices and automotive parts, the "dripping and flowing" of adhesives has been a long-standing concern in the field. When fixing components on a substrate, the applied adhesive may flow into adjacent circuits, or when applied on inclined or vertical surfaces, it may drip before curing—many engineers have likely experienced such issues. One approach to fundamentally solve these problems is the adoption of non-flowing (non-sag) silicone adhesives. After organizing the meaning of the non-flowing viscosity characteristics and the technical background, we will compare the characteristics of three representative products offered by Momentive—TN8000, TSE3925, and TN5015—based on their TDS, and provide guidelines for selection based on application. 1. Organizing the viscosity classification of silicone adhesives 2. Typical application scenarios where non-flowing properties are required 3. Comparing three non-flowing silicone adhesives from Momentive 4. Points for product selection—Which product should you choose? For more details, please visit our website.

When selecting optical thin film filters, many engineers and purchasing personnel first check the "initial performance" such as the spectral transmittance curve and half-width. However, when incorporating them into outdoor equipment or sensor modules, what we really want to know is whether "that performance is maintained after one year or two years." Ultraviolet light, temperature and humidity cycles, rainwater, and dust in the atmosphere—these complex stresses cannot be fully replicated by accelerated testing using constant temperature and humidity chambers or UV exposure test machines. While accelerated tests have the advantage of providing results in a short period, they face the challenge of not being able to provide a definitive answer to the question of "what will happen in actual outdoor environments." Therefore, Adachi New Industry Co., Ltd. conducted an exposure test by installing optical thin film filters outdoors on its rooftop for a full two years to track the temporal changes in optical characteristics. This time, we are specially releasing a portion of the test results and will introduce practical insights that can be gleaned from them. [1] Overview of the test [2] Test results [3] Two trends visible from the data [4] What these results mean: Considering by application Summary For more details, please visit our company website.

We receive a large number of inquiries from customers considering the development and prototyping of optical thin films. Among these, the most common questions are, "Is it possible to deposit films on resin substrates?" and "Can you accommodate orders starting from one piece?" At first glance, these may seem like simple questions, but they reveal the underlying concerns typical in development environments, such as "I want to keep costs as low as possible for evaluation" and "Since the results are uncertain at this stage, I would like to start with a small-scale trial." However, unlike general processed products, optical thin films can lead to significantly increased development time and costs if the prototyping conditions or substrate selection are incorrect. CASE01: "Is it possible to accommodate resin substrates?" CASE02: "Can you accommodate orders starting from one piece?" CASE03: "Can I consult even without a drawing?" In the prototyping of optical thin films, "an optimal development plan" is more important than "minimum quantity." Optical thin films are a highly advanced technical field where numerous factors, such as substrate materials, wavelengths, angles, and environmental conditions, interact with each other. Therefore, organizing the application and required performance from the early stages of development and consulting with a reputable manufacturer is the shortcut to success.

In recent years, the demand for comb-type electrodes has been expanding due to advancements in sensor technology and the proliferation of IoT devices. Comb-type electrodes have a structure where multiple electrode fingers are arranged alternately like the teeth of a comb, allowing for the highly sensitive detection of minute changes in electrical characteristics. They are utilized in a wide range of fields, including gas sensors, humidity sensors, biosensors, and materials evaluation substrates. There is an increasing demand for miniaturization and high sensitivity in sensing targets, leading to a growing need for high-precision patterning technologies that can refine electrode width and spacing. We will also introduce the basic principles of comb-type electrodes, their applications, design points, the advantages of using standard stock items, and the possibilities of custom patterning for research and development purposes. Chapter 1: Structure and Basic Principles of Comb-Type Electrodes Chapter 2: Applications and Market Trends of Comb-Type Electrodes Chapter 3: Advantages of Utilizing Standard Stock Comb-Type Electrodes Chapter 4: Important Pattern Specifications in Comb-Type Electrode Design Chapter 5: Manufacturing Technologies and Custom Patterning of Comb-Type Electrodes Summary At Adachi New Industries, in addition to providing standard stock comb-type electrodes, we also support various custom patterning processes through thin film formation and photolithography.

Momentive's "TIA225GF" is a two-component addition reaction type liquid silicone material for heat dissipation. The main agent (Component A) and the curing agent (Component B) are mixed in a weight ratio of 1:1 and cured by heating (70°C for 0.5 hours) or at room temperature (23°C for 24 hours). After curing, it becomes a rubber-like elastomer with a thermal conductivity of 2.5 W/(m·K), forming an excellent heat path. This product is a liquid material with excellent thixotropic properties (shape retention), resulting in minimal dripping or smudging after application, making it easy to fill complex-shaped parts and gaps. It ensures stable thermal contact with high followability even on uneven bonding surfaces and narrow gaps, which are difficult to address with conventional thermal interface materials. By containing high-fill fillers, it achieves both high thermal conductivity and electrical insulation, making it suitable for applications requiring high reliability, such as power modules and communication boards.

In recent years, the adoption of near-infrared sensing technology has rapidly expanded across a wide range of fields, including autonomous driving, industrial robots, smartphones, and medical devices. Applications such as spatial recognition using onboard LiDAR and TOF sensors, wearable devices for facial recognition and biometric measurement, and non-invasive medical applications using light are all reaching practical implementation and widespread use, leading to an increasing demand for optical components that support these technologies year by year. Among these, the "bandpass filter," which selectively transmits only specific wavelengths, is becoming increasingly important in development environments as a key component that affects the accuracy and reliability of sensors. At Adachi New Industry Co., Ltd., we offer a standard inventory of near-infrared bandpass filters ranging from 660nm to 940nm to meet these diverse needs. Chapter 1: Why are red to near-infrared bandpass filters attracting attention now? Chapter 2: Basics of bandpass filters and the characteristics of "near-infrared" Chapter 3: Detailed explanation of use cases by wavelength: Roles and market trends from 660 to 940nm Chapter 4: Introduction of standard inventory: A ready-to-use lineup of six wavelengths Chapter 5: Custom design support: Optimal filters tailored for customers Conclusion: The future opened up by near-infrared bandpass filters

"When in doubt about what to use, start with this" — The reason why this product continues to be chosen by field engineers In the manufacturing and research and development environments of electrical and electronic devices, there are many situations where silicone-based adhesives and sealants need to be selected. When multiple requirements overlap—such as needing heat resistance, wanting to avoid corrosion on certain metals, needing fast curing, or wanting to keep costs down—searching for a product from scratch each time is a waste of time. Many engineers likely have a trusted go-to product that they use when unsure. For many years, this position has been held by Momentive's TSE39×5 series (TSE3925, TSE3975, TSE3995). We will explain in detail, along with technical backing, why this series continues to be a bestseller in many fields.

Outer space is the most challenging and promising field for optical thin films. Environmental factors that are completely different from those on the ground—vacuum ultraviolet, high-energy particles, extreme thermal cycles, atomic oxygen—simultaneously pose threats to the thin films, while it is precisely these films that maintain the accuracy of sensing, communication, and observation. As the trend of New Space accelerates, the scenarios in which optical thin films influence the competitiveness of space development are increasing. We aspire to be more than just a "coating manufacturer"; we want to be partners who think together from the very beginning of development. It is perfectly fine if the requirements are not yet solidified or if we are still in the preliminary stages of specifications. We hope this can serve as a starting point for dialogue with engineers working on space products. Chapter 01: The Three Barriers that the Space Environment Poses to Optical Thin Films Chapter 02: Main Applications of Space × Optical Thin Films—Where Thin Films Thrive Chapter 03: How to Choose Optical Thin Films—The Trinity of Materials, Design, and Process Chapter 04: Proposal for Co-Creation Steps—"Start Small and Grow Steadily" Summary—Together, Let’s Take on the Challenge of Space with the Power of Thin Films.

Momentive's "TSE3975" is a one-component, moisture-curing, low-volatility silicone adhesive. It cures at room temperature by reacting with moisture in the air, forming a silicone rubber that combines flexibility and elasticity. Unlike the paste-type TSE3925 in the same series, TSE3975 is a flowable type. It maintains moderate flowability while being resistant to dripping, allowing for smooth filling and sealing of gaps and narrow spaces with complex shapes. The curing mechanism employs an alkoxy curing method, releasing alcohol-based vapors during the curing process. Unlike acetate types, it is non-corrosive to metals, making it particularly suitable for use in electrical and electronic devices that utilize various metal components such as copper, iron, aluminum, and stainless steel. It also meets the corrosion test of military standard MIL-A-46146B, ensuring reliability for applications that require high trustworthiness. In terms of adhesive performance, it demonstrates excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates, including metals, various plastics, glass, and ceramics, without the need for a primer.

The competition for the practical application of quantum computers is accelerating on a global scale. However, one of the barriers faced by researchers and engineers working on development at the forefront is the reality that "components cannot be procured." High-precision optical elements and optical thin films are essential to the foundation of quantum systems, yet suppliers capable of meeting the specific requirements of quantum optics are limited worldwide. Of course, at this point, Adachi New Industries cannot produce all products through film deposition and manufacturing, but we present this co-creation proposal to developers to overcome that barrier together. 01: Quantum Computers and Optical Thin Films 02: Optical Thin Film Products Required for Quantum Systems—Specific Product Groups and Required Specifications 03: Reasons Why Quantum Optical Coatings Are Difficult—Structure of Technical Challenges 04: Co-creation with Master Coatings—Development Process Starting from Small-Scale Prototyping Summary Adachi New Industries' "Master Coatings" will accompany you as a partner to overcome these barriers together, from the initial concept stage of development to the mass production phase. Starting with small-scale prototyping, we will cycle through prototyping and evaluation together, "co-creating" the optical thin films required for quantum devices—this is our co-creation proposal.

Light includes "visible light," which can be seen by the human eye, and invisible light. Near-infrared (NIR) is one type of "invisible light" located right next to visible light. In fact, it is deeply involved in various devices and industrial processes around us, and its importance has been increasing in recent years. We will explain clearly from the basics of "What is near-infrared?" to the fields in which it is used, and its relationship with optical coating technology. 01: What is near-infrared? — Organizing the "companions" of light 02: Where is near-infrared used? — Expanding application fields 03: The relationship between near-infrared and optical coatings — The power of "thin films" that enhance performance 04: The precision required for near-infrared filters Summary: The key to utilizing near-infrared lies in precise optical thin films Near-infrared compatible filter "Artisan Infrared" For more details, please visit our company website.

Momentive's "TSE3995" is a non-corrosive, fast-drying one-component silicone adhesive sealant. It is an alcohol-curing type with reduced low-molecular siloxanes, providing stable adhesion to a variety of substrates including metals (including copper), plastics, and glass. A major feature of the TSE3995 series is its "high fluidity due to low viscosity" (with a viscosity of 2.5 Pa·s (2,500 mPa·s), which is very low for RTV silicone). With a viscosity less than 1/100 of that of typical sealants, it naturally penetrates fine gaps and complex shapes, allowing for uniform application in thin films, thus ensuring a sealing layer can be formed in areas that are difficult to reach with conventional sealants. It is less prone to trapping air bubbles and thoroughly reaches the details of substrates and electronic components, making it particularly effective for potting and coating applications.

"Extract only the desired light" — this is the role of optical components known as band-pass filters (BPF). We will explain the mechanism and selection of BPFs, which are used in various fields such as medical, industrial, and environmental measurement, in an easy-to-understand manner, even without specialized knowledge. Camera sensors, medical fluorescence microscopes, factory appearance inspection devices, environmental measurement sensors — these seemingly completely different devices share a common technical challenge: "accurately extracting only the necessary wavelengths from light that contains countless wavelengths." For example, in fluorescence imaging, it is essential to detect only the weak fluorescence signals amidst strong excitation light. In factory appearance inspection, it is necessary to shut out stray light from daylight and fluorescent lamps to detect only the illumination wavelengths. The optical component responsible for this "light selection" is the band-pass filter (BPF). The name may sound complicated, but once you understand its mechanism, it is based on a very simple principle. We will present the basic concepts of BPFs, manufacturing principles, and points for application selection in a format that can be read in five minutes.

The areas where drones are active are rapidly expanding from surveying, infrastructure inspection, agriculture, logistics, and disaster prevention to defense and security fields in recent years. In addition to the demand for high-precision sensing in the private sector, the requirements for optical systems mounted on drones are becoming increasingly stringent in defense applications such as border surveillance, information gathering, search and rescue, and unmanned operational support. While the miniaturization and weight reduction of the aircraft are progressing, the proposition of "obtaining more precise information in harsher environments" remains unchanged. One key to solving this contradiction is optical thin film technology. Optical thin films, which control the reflection, transmission, and blocking of light at the nanometer level, are a technology that fundamentally enhances the performance of mounted sensors across the visible light, near-infrared, and thermal infrared ranges. We will introduce the role that optical thin films play in drone development from the perspectives of industry, agriculture, and defense. 1. What are optical thin films? — Basic knowledge for drone developers 2. By field: The roles played by optical thin films 3. Featured technology: 8-14μm band infrared AR coating 4. Quick reference table for utilization images by development phase 5. Proposal for co-creation — Let's start together from a prototype For more details, please refer to our company website.

Foam in manufacturing sites is not just a cosmetic issue. - Decreased production efficiency - Filling defects and overflow - Quality variation (pinholes and unevenness) - Sensor false detection can lead to serious problems. Especially in recent automated and smart factory environments, foam significantly affects process stability as "invisible noise." Momentive's silicone defoamers provide high defoaming effectiveness, heat resistance, and chemical stability with minimal addition, and are used across a wide range of fields including food, chemicals, paints, and wastewater. However, what is important is not "which defoamer to use," but "how to choose one." 1. Initial judgment: "Industrial" or "Food grade" 2. Selection logic considering three types for "Industrial" 3. Selection logic considering four types for "Food grade" 4. Common mistakes (applicable to both industrial and food) 5.

The way of presenting in the entertainment sector is changing significantly due to the expansion of expos, immersive exhibitions, and experiential museums. Traditionally, the focus was on enhancing visual and lighting effects, but now the competition lies in "experience design," which revolves around "how visitors feel and how they remember" their experiences. With the proliferation of social media, there is a demand not only for "instant impact" but also for "shareable experiences" and "experiences that make people want to return." In this context, the key to differentiation is the "quality of light." An important role in this is played by optical thin-film technology, which precisely controls the wavelength of light. Optical thin films enable visual experiences that cannot be achieved with conventional lighting or displays by designing transmission, reflection, and absorption at the nanoscale. In the future of entertainment, light is evolving from a mere means of presentation to a design element that constitutes the experience itself. 【1】Exhibitions that change depending on the viewer 【2】Productions with two worlds 【3】Designing the space itself 【4】Next-generation exhibitions that integrate with sensors 【5】Potential applications in the entertainment sector Summary: The option of co-creation For more details, please refer to our company website.

In recent years, "STEAM education" has rapidly spread in educational settings, increasing the importance of experimental environments and measurement technologies for experiential learning in science and technology. Among these, spectroscopic techniques that analyze substances and environments using light have gained attention. Not only in cutting-edge research fields such as spectroscopic measurement, laser experiments, and biosensing, but also in universities, technical colleges, and high schools, there has been an increase in experiments utilizing optical technologies. The foundation of these technologies is optical thin films (optical filters) that control the wavelength of light. Optical thin films significantly improve the accuracy of spectroscopic measurements and optical sensing by allowing only specific wavelengths to pass through or by blocking unwanted light. Furthermore, they hold potential as educational materials that enable intuitive understanding of the physics of light through phenomena such as interference and structural colors. 1. Compatibility of STEAM education and optical technology 2. Optical thin films used in education and research fields 3. Custom optical thin films required for research applications 4.
