This is a surface treatment solution for the "automatic rice loosening machine" used in automatic rice cooking systems at rice processing plants, prepared food manufacturing lines, and large-scale meal centers. It involves applying a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) fluororesin coating with excellent non-stick properties (release properties) to the metal "loosening blades (mixing and loosening components)" that fluff up the cooked rice. The coating forms a uniform fluororesin film even in the complex gaps of the thin loosening rods (pins) that extend radially from the central shaft component. This effectively prevents the sticking, scorching, and hardening of highly adhesive "freshly cooked rice," which contains a lot of moisture and starch. 【Benefits of Implementation】 ■ Improved Yield Reduces the carryover and residue of rice on the loosening pins, minimizing product loss and waste. ■ Reduced Cleaning Labor and Downtime Eliminates the need for scraping off or soaking stuck rice, allowing for quicker cleaning with water washing or light work, thus shortening cleaning time. ■ Safe and Reliable Quality The paint used complies with the "Food Sanitation Act," making it safe for use in environments where food comes into direct contact.

In the inspection equipment stage for the LCD and semiconductor fields (1-2m class), structures that attach or screw PEEK molded parts onto metal surfaces are commonly used to prevent scratches on the workpieces. However, this method has posed challenges in manufacturing costs and quality control due to "the hassle of positioning and drilling," "the enormous labor involved in achieving high-precision leveling adjustments," and "the accumulation of foreign substances at the joints." We propose a solution that eliminates the need for this protective part attachment process by using "thick-film PEEK coating + machining." ■ Solution Approach For large stages, we directly apply a thick coating of PEEK resin that exceeds the specified values. Subsequently, we perform high-precision machining on the surface to create a completely flat coating surface without any seams. This approach completely eliminates the labor involved in manual attachment and adjustment, significantly supporting the reduction of manufacturing lead times and total costs. We can also respond quickly to evaluation samples and prototype construction from a single unit.

In the manufacturing and inspection processes of semiconductor wafers and glass substrates, minute contact scratches and the adhesion of metallic microparticles (contamination) can lead to critical product defects. Traditionally, measures such as processing resin blocks or attaching resin plates to metal parts were mainstream, but there were many challenges, including "a huge amount of labor required for fine adjustments during assembly," "foreign substances accumulating at joints," and "the need for regular replacement due to peeling and wear." Our "functional coating" fundamentally resolves these issues by directly forming a high-performance resin (PEEK or fluororesin) as a single integrated film on metal parts. ■ Advantages of this technology - Elimination of the risk of foreign substance accumulation and peeling due to a seamless integrated coating - Simultaneous achievement of high-precision dimensional control and excellent scratch prevention and resistance to metal contamination - Complete elimination of the processes of attaching resin molded products or using screws, significantly reducing manufacturing costs We can flexibly respond to prototype construction and test processing from a single piece.

"I want to prevent the adhesion of sticky substances, but the thickness of the fluororesin coating is too thick (several tens of µm) to achieve dimensional accuracy." "The clearance is narrow, and it gets caught when applied." Do you have similar challenges in precision machining and tool design? Our "NonStick STC" is an "ultra" thin film, non-stick coating technology that solves the concerns of such designers and engineers. With a film thickness of less than 1µm, it can be applied without significantly compromising the cutting edge angle of tools or the strict dimensional tolerances of precision parts. Furthermore, it possesses a lower surface energy and non-stick performance that surpasses fluororesin, physically blocking the adhesion of strongly adhesive adhesives, glues, and adhesive tapes. 【Main Advantages】 ■ High Dimensional Accuracy Ideal for precision molds and tools with tight clearances. ■ Strong Adhesion Prevention Smoothly releases even strongly adhesive resins like epoxy and polyester. ■ Durability of Performance Fundamentally suppresses adhesion and maintains initial non-stick performance for an extended period. We support precision manufacturing environments as an alternative technology to fluororesin.

In the cutting process of composite materials (laminated boards) made by overlapping resin sheets or films with adhesives, adhesive adhesion to the blade tip directly impacts product quality. When highly adhesive glue components adhere and accumulate on the blade tip, not only does the cutting performance significantly decline, but the accumulated adhesive also transfers and adheres to the product's cut surface, causing appearance defects and dimensional defects that worsen yield. Conventional fluororesin coatings are too thick, at several tens of micrometers, causing the blade tip to round off and reducing cutting precision, making them unsuitable for use. Our "NonStick STC" is a "super-thin film" non-stick coating with a thickness of less than 1 micrometer. 【Quality Improvements Achieved by This Product】 ■ Maintenance of Sharp Cutting Performance Due to its ultra-thin film, it does not alter the blade tip shape, maintaining sharp cutting performance. ■ Prevention of Adhesive Transfer and Adhesion With release properties surpassing fluororesins, it physically repels even highly adhesive materials. ■ Dramatic Improvement in Yield Significantly reduces defect rates caused by adhesive transfer on cut surfaces. It contributes to the stability of cutting quality and the reduction of defect rates.

In the cutting process of laminated boards such as resin sheets, a major challenge is the "adhesion of adhesive to the circular blade and the cleaning work." Due to continuous cutting, the highly adhesive adhesive between the sheets accumulates on the blade edge, necessitating manual cleaning that takes about 50 minutes and requires solvents each time. Additionally, line stoppages due to blade changes have been a major cause of reduced equipment operating rates. The solution to this problem is the ultra-thin, non-stick coating "NonStick STC," which does not compromise the sharp shape of the blades. **Main Achievements from Implementation** - Cleaning time reduced from "50 minutes" to "1 minute." Stuck adhesive can now be easily removed, significantly reducing maintenance burdens. - Operating period extended by more than twice. The replacement cycle, which was traditionally 500-600 cuts, has improved to over 1,000 cuts, halving the frequency of replacements. - Minimization of line stoppage time. By reducing the hassle of changing and cleaning the circular blades, it contributes to improved equipment operating rates. This surface treatment technology simultaneously reduces the burden on operators and enhances overall factory productivity.

In laser inspection devices that perform precise measurements of LCD panels and silicon wafers, the "surface smoothness" and "high dimensional accuracy" of the metal stage that holds the workpiece directly influence measurement accuracy. In conventional hand-applied PEEK molded products, the presence of seams and screw fastening areas posed a risk of snagging and scratching the workpiece. Additionally, common coatings faced challenges with warping and distortion of the substrate due to "approximately 400°C firing heat." Our thick-film PEEK coating technology is a solution for designers that balances high precision and surface quality. 【Technical Approach】 ■ Distortion-free Construction Using our proprietary "deformation prevention fixture," we eliminate warping of the substrate caused by thermal shrinkage stress. High precision is maintained even for large substrates (1-2m). ■ Seamless Integrated Flat Surface Machining can be performed after applying a thick coating of over 1mm. A smooth flat surface is formed without screw holes or seams. ■ Scratch Prevention for Workpieces Eliminating metal exposure and unevenness reduces the risk of damage to delicate products. This technology is ideal for large precision components that require high dimensional accuracy and clean surface quality.

In metal stages (such as aluminum) for precision inspection equipment, "the application of PEEK resin molded products" was performed to prevent scratches on the workpieces (such as glass substrates and wafers) during transport. However, the attachment process for large stages measuring 1 to 2 meters involved significant labor and costs due to "high-precision positioning," "drilling for fixing holes," "screwing," and "micron-level precision adjustments," which posed a major challenge. ■ Elimination of Attachment Work through PEEK Coating Our thick-film PEEK coating "PEEKCOAT N" directly forms a coating of over 1mm on metal substrates and provides a solution for high-precision mechanical cutting and finishing of the surface. 【Main Benefits of Implementation】 ■ Complete Elimination of Labor Hours Manual tasks such as attaching, drilling, screwing, and positioning are no longer necessary. ■ Reduced Lead Time The assembly and adjustment processes are simplified, dramatically shortening the production period. ■ Over 30% Cost Reduction Significant cuts in material costs, processing costs, and labor costs for molded products. We propose overwhelming rationalization to equipment manufacturers struggling with manufacturing costs and labor hours due to the attachment of molded products.

In the design and development of advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment, measures against chemical corrosion and the maintenance of cleanliness are the most critical design challenges that affect the reliability of the equipment. ■ Issues of slurry adhesion and corrosion resistance in the CMP process The head parts of CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) equipment, which face the wafer at a close distance, are constantly exposed to splashes of slurry containing acids and alkalis, as well as intense corrosion stress, making it difficult to maintain long-term quality with simple water-repellent treatments. ■ PFA coating with fluoropolymer It possesses chemical stability that does not react with almost all chemical substances, completely preventing the leaching of impurities due to metal substrate corrosion. Additionally, due to its strong adhesion and uniform coating formation technology, it exhibits long-lasting corrosion resistance and non-stick properties even for complex-shaped parts. Its high reliability has been recognized, and it boasts a track record of being officially adopted as "standard specification parts" by equipment manufacturers. From head parts to surrounding covers and flow path components, it enhances the overall reliability of the equipment and enables differentiation.

A major bottleneck hindering the stable operation of semiconductor manufacturing lines is the "cleaning and maintenance work of slurry that has adhered to equipment parts." ■ The problem of slurry adhesion troubling the site The polishing slurry that splashes during processes such as CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) in semiconductor manufacturing strongly adheres to the surface of parts over time, consuming a significant amount of time and labor for cleaning in clean rooms. Regular line stoppages (downtime) associated with maintenance become a cause of reduced productivity for the entire factory. ■ Fluoropolymer PFA coating that drastically reduces maintenance labor and downtime By applying a PFA coating with extremely low surface energy (high non-stick properties), we can prevent the strong adhesion of slurry. This achieves excellent cleanability, allowing for easy removal even if it adheres. As scraping off the adhered material becomes unnecessary, it can be quickly removed by simply rinsing, dramatically shortening maintenance time. This increases the average time between failures (MTBF) of the equipment and contributes to improved continuous operation rates and reduced burden on operators.

In the CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) process of semiconductor manufacturing, major factors causing a decrease in wafer yield are "scratches due to the detachment of adhered slurry" and "ion contamination (metal contamination) caused by chemical corrosion." ■ Scratch Issues from Adhered Slurry When slurry that has splattered onto equipment parts dries and adheres, it can become trapped in the polishing surface and damage the delicate wafer surface. ■ Contamination from Chemical Corrosion Corrosion of the substrate by strong acids and strong alkalis can be a source of contaminating impurities that destroy circuit characteristics. ■ Preventing Slurry Adhesion and Improving Component Corrosion Resistance Our "Fluoropolymer PFA Coating" is a high-performance surface treatment solution that addresses these quality issues. With excellent "non-stick and water-repellent" properties, it prevents the adhesion of high-viscosity slurry. Even if it dries, it does not adhere and can be easily removed. Furthermore, it possesses high "chemical resistance and corrosion resistance" that is inert to chemicals, reducing the risk of metal leaching and ion contamination. The high purity and smooth coating also suppress particle generation, directly contributing to maximizing yield in the CMP process.

In the "thermal crimping" process, which does not use adhesives for fixing lenses to resin tubes, the manufacturing site suffers from appearance defects and reduced yield due to "stringing of molten resin" and "adhesion of resin debris to jigs." When resin adheres and accumulates on the surface of the jig due to heating and pressurization during crimping, the detached resin debris can stick to the product, causing critical quality issues. Even release coatings designed to prevent these problems become meaningless if they wear out or degrade prematurely due to high-temperature and high-load thermal cycles. Our high-durability fluoropolymer coating "Thermo Pro Release" is a surface treatment solution that achieves the highest level of "non-stick (release)" and "wear resistance" against molten resin. ■ Benefits in terms of quality - Thorough prevention of stringing and adhesion Excellent slip and release properties ensure smooth separation of the jig after thermal crimping. - Dramatic improvement in yield Prevents the accumulation of resin debris, significantly reducing appearance defects in products. - Long-lasting performance The coating is resistant to wear even in high-load environments, maintaining its high release performance over an extended period.

This is a high-performance ETFE (ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer) coating contract processing service for metal fans (impellers, rotor wheels, casings, and sirocco fans) that discharge corrosive gases such as acids and alkalis in exhaust and ventilation systems of various chemical plants, semiconductor manufacturing facilities, and plating treatment plants. ■ ETFE with Mechanical Strength and Chemical Resistance Fans are constantly rotating at high speeds and are subjected to harsh conditions as "driving components," exposed to contact (friction) with dust and fine particles contained in wind pressure and airflow. Therefore, this method employs ETFE, which possesses particularly excellent "mechanical strength (hardness, impact resistance, wear resistance)" and "chemical resistance" among fluororesins. It forms a uniform coating without pinholes, reaching into the intricate gaps of the fan blades and the unevenness of welding lines. ■ Thick Film Specification that Shuts Out Liquid/Gas Penetration To prevent the penetration and permeation of corrosive gases, the coating is applied in a "thick film specification (hundreds of micrometers level)" that is thicker than standard fluororesin coatings. This protects the metal substrate from gas, preventing corrosion and premature failure of the fan. It is a reliable surface treatment solution that contributes to the longevity, safety maintenance, and stable operation of equipment in harsh exhaust environments.

The dead plate of an automatic transport line is a crucial component for smoothly transferring products. However, due to intense friction from heavy items, the surface treatment tends to wear out quickly, leading to significant hassle and costs each time it is necessary to "stop the line, retrieve the parts, and perform repainting (recoating)." ■ PEEK Coating Sliding Grade "PEEKCOAT G10" Our sliding-specialized coating "PEEKCOAT G10" is a highly durable solution that directly contributes to dramatically reducing maintenance costs and preservation labor. ■ Technical Features The exceptional mechanical strength of the underlying super engineering plastic "PEEK resin" exhibits high physical resistance to continuous rubbing from heavy items (such as cardboard boxes containing 2L PET bottles). Since the coating itself is difficult to wear away, it greatly exceeds the limitations of conventional fluoropolymer coatings, achieving an astonishing long life that is 3 to 4 times greater. ■ Implementation Effects By significantly extending the frequency of part replacements and maintenance cycles, the total running costs—including management expenses for spare parts, outsourcing costs for disassembly and recoating, and labor costs for maintenance personnel—are dramatically reduced. This contributes to improving cost structure and ensuring sustainable profits for the factory.

In automatic transport lines, including beverage manufacturing plants, the reduction in slip properties of the "dead plate" installed at the joints between conveyors can cause products to snag or topple, leading to serious bottlenecks that result in line stoppages (chocolate stops). This time, we will introduce the resolution of transport troubles using PEEK coating "PEEKCOAT G10." ■ Fusion of the toughness of PEEK resin and the slip properties of fluororesin "PEEKCOAT G10" uniformly combines the excellent lubricity of "fluororesin" within the robust framework of "PEEK resin," which boasts overwhelming toughness. As a result, even in harsh environments where heavy items, such as cardboard containing 2L PET bottles, continuously rub against each other, the film does not wear out and peel off as it does with typical fluororesin coatings. ■ Maintaining lubricity even when worn Even if wear progresses, the fluororesin (lubricating component) uniformly dispersed within the film continues to be exposed, allowing the initial smooth slip properties to be maintained for a long time. This thoroughly eliminates transport delays and damage to workpieces, as well as the associated unexpected downtime, strongly supporting the continuous stable operation and throughput improvement of the entire factory.

This is a surface treatment solution that applies fluororesin (PTFE or PFA) to metal food trays used in the manufacturing and processing lines of foods such as bread, side dishes, and frozen foods. ■ Technical Features - Forms a completely uniform coating without pinholes, even in the corner areas of the trays and the details of ribs (reinforcement shapes) that ensure strength. - Provides excellent "non-stick (release)" properties, thoroughly preventing ingredients such as sauces, dressings, and dough from sticking or burning onto the tray surface, even in harsh baking and heating environments. - Naturally complies with food sanitation laws, making it safe for use in areas where food comes into direct contact. It dramatically improves the yield of products by eliminating deformation of delicate ingredients and strongly supports the continuous stable production of high-quality foods. Because ingredients are less likely to remain, the time required for rinsing and cleaning after use (downtime) is significantly reduced. This not only increases the operating rate of the manufacturing line but also greatly contributes to cutting costs related to water, electricity, and labor associated with cleaning maintenance.

In the extrusion molding of "resin packings" that maintain airtightness in general industries and the chemical and food sectors, the fluidity inside the mold (die) significantly affects product quality. If the slip properties of the die surface are poor, or if the resin stagnates or adheres, it can lead to the occurrence of "eye mucus (protrusion defects)" and "line scratches (line defects)" on the product surface, resulting in reduced yield. ■ Measures Against Eye Mucus and Line Scratches To prevent these issues, fluororesin coatings are often used; however, if they peel off early due to high-load resin flow, it defeats the purpose. Our unique technology, "Thermo Pro Release," is a coating solution that maximizes "adhesion strength" and "wear resistance" while maintaining excellent release properties and slip characteristics. Traditionally, the pre-treatment blasting (roughening) for coatings was difficult to apply to fine hole inner diameters of Φ10mm or less, which was a cause of early peeling. However, our proprietary binder technology allows for a strong adhesion that is more than three times the strength of typical fluororesin coatings. ■ Introduction Effects It effectively shuts out resin stagnation and adhesion inside the die, thoroughly preventing the occurrence of eye mucus and scratches. This stabilizes the quality of delicate molded products and directly contributes to a significant increase in the good product rate in manufacturing sites.

In the manufacturing process of packings and other products using a resin extrusion molding machine, fluororesin coating is essential to prevent resin adhesion to the die (mold), which is the core component, and to ensure smooth extrusion. ■ Issues with Conventional Specifications The wear load from molten resin is extremely high, and conventional fluororesin coatings have the problem of peeling off in just two weeks. This is particularly problematic in narrow inner diameters of Φ10mm or less, where blast treatment is difficult to apply uniformly, leading to early peeling. ■ Unique Technology "Thermo Pro Release" - Strong Adhesion Our original fluororesin coating "Thermo Pro Release" not only provides a physical anchor effect to the substrate but also employs a special formulation that enhances adhesion to the base material (metal). Even in narrow inner diameter surfaces where blast treatment may be insufficient, it boasts more than three times the adhesion strength of conventional fluororesin coatings. - Wear Resistance With an optimal formulation of wear-resistant binders, it is resistant to wear even in high-temperature and high-pressure sliding environments, maintaining initial release and lubrication performance for an extended period. The lifespan of the die, which was two weeks, has been extended to approximately three months, achieving about six times the duration and enabling planned line operations.

The shape defects of products caused by "dough sticking" and "poor release from molds" in the manufacturing process of Western-style confections and food are significant challenges that reduce production efficiency and yield. ■ Release Coating for Traditional Baked Goods and Gugelhupf Molds For metal Gugelhupf molds with very complex and three-dimensional shapes, such as beautifully spiraled wave patterns and central protrusions, a uniform thickness of fluoropolymer PTFE coating is applied down to the finest details. ■ Purpose of the Coating The primary goal is to impart "non-stick (release)" and "heat resistance." The coating is resistant to degradation even in the harsh thermal environment during baking, thoroughly preventing dough from sticking and corner adhesion. This allows the baked Gugelhupf to smoothly and cleanly release from the mold, significantly reducing the deformation of delicate products and directly improving yield in the production process. Additionally, it minimizes (or eliminates) the need for the application of release oils (butter or oil), leading to cost savings on raw materials and reducing the time required for application. This strongly supports the streamlining and automation of the manufacturing line.

• Surface treatment contract service

The issues of "dough sticking" and "poor mold release" leading to product shape defects in the manufacturing process of Western-style confections and food products are significant challenges that reduce production efficiency and yield. This time, we introduce an example of a metal madeleine mold with a complex shell shape (scallop shape) that has been uniformly coated with a fluororesin (PTFE) to ensure consistent film thickness down to the details. ■ Top-notch non-stick properties (release properties) Thoroughly prevents dough from sticking and burning. The baked madeleines easily and cleanly release from the mold, significantly reducing the deformation of delicate products and directly contributing to improved yield in production environments. ■ Heat resistance (continuous use temperature 260°C) The coating is resistant to degradation even under the harsh thermal conditions during baking, maintaining excellent release performance over a long period. ■ Reduction of release oil and prolongation of mold lifespan By eliminating or minimizing the application process of release oils (butter or oil) that were previously essential, we can cut raw material costs and reduce the time spent on application. This strongly supports the streamlining and automation of manufacturing lines. Additionally, it protects the surface of the mold, preventing wear and corrosion of the base materials such as aluminum and steel, thus contributing to the longevity of the tooling.

The guide components of automatic packaging machines experience significant wear due to constant high-speed friction with films and transported items, leading to major challenges such as "short-term component replacement" and "increased maintenance labor and costs associated with replacements." In the case of the customer we consulted with, they had been applying fluororesin coating to the guide components, but the issue arose that conventional fluororesin coatings have soft films that quickly reach the end of their lifespan in harsh environments. ■ Proposal for PEEK Coating "PEEKCOAT G10" Therefore, we proposed PEEKCOAT G10, which has excellent wear resistance and mechanical strength. - A high-durability sliding coating that uniformly combines fluororesin with a tough PEEK resin film. - Unlike pure fluororesin, the film does not easily wear away, maintaining a "smooth and slippery surface" for an extended period even in harsh high-speed sliding environments. ■ Implementation Effect: Compared to conventional specifications, durability is improved by 3 to 4 times. By significantly extending the component replacement cycle, we achieve both a reduction in spare parts costs and a decrease in equipment downtime associated with maintenance (improving operational efficiency), dramatically enhancing overall cost performance.

Are you experiencing troubles such as "film sticking due to static electricity" and "frequent chocolate stops caused by wandering or entanglement" in the guide components of automatic packaging machines? ■ Multifunctional PEEK Coating "PEEKCOAT G10" Our PEEK coating "PEEKCOAT G10" is the optimal solution that addresses the challenges of wear, sliding, and static electricity all at once. It is based on PEEK resin, which boasts high mechanical strength, and has been uniquely formulated with fluororesin and conductive materials. ■ Reliable Wear Resistance Supported by PEEK Resin By adopting PEEK resin as the base matrix, we achieve wear resistance that leverages the robust mechanical strength of PEEK. ■ Smooth and Slippery Surface Thanks to the effects of the blended fluororesin, the surface of the PEEK film is endowed with low friction properties similar to those of a fluororesin coating. ■ Antistatic Function By incorporating conductive materials, we effectively discharge static electricity generated during sliding. We fundamentally suppress transport troubles caused by static electricity, alleviating the unexpected burden on on-site workers. This contributes to the creation of an "unstoppable line" in automatic packaging lines.

In a harsh manufacturing line that operates continuously for 24 hours, the frequent replacement of parts due to early wear is a significant factor that heavily burdens the factory's maintenance costs. Maintenance in environments where cleanliness and hygiene management are required particularly increases labor costs and working hours for maintenance personnel, becoming a substantial burden alongside the procurement costs of spare parts. ■ Fluororesin-Composite PEEK Coating Our fluororesin-composite PEEK coating, "PEEKCOAT G09," is a sliding-specialized coating that directly contributes to reducing maintenance costs. It uniformly disperses fluororesin (solid lubricant) with excellent sliding properties within the robust structure of PEEK resin at an optimal ratio. ■ Balancing Low Friction and Wear Resistance The uniformly dispersed fluororesin components in the coating act to maintain smooth "low friction characteristics" while exhibiting "high wear resistance" at a level incomparable to fluororesin coatings. This significantly extends the replacement cycle of parts. We respond to the requests of maintenance and management departments that want to "reduce the hassle of repeated part replacements" and "advance factory labor-saving and efficiency while keeping long-term running costs down."

The "machined products made of PEEK resin" used in the transport process of semiconductors and electronic components are expensive in terms of both material and processing costs. However, when the tips wear out or break, there is a cost-related weakness in that they must be discarded entirely. ■Switching from molded products to "metal + PEEK coating" In response to such challenges, our company has improved procurement and cost issues by changing the structure to "high-rigidity metal (such as SUS) substrate + antistatic PEEK coating 'PEEKCOAT N04blk'." 【Repainting (recoating) even if the coating film deteriorates】 It is possible to regenerate the expensive metal hand body to like-new performance and reuse it multiple times without discarding it. This dramatically reduces long-term running costs. The antistatic PEEK coating also covers necessary functions for a clean environment, such as "static electricity suppression," "reduction of particle adhesion," and "scratch prevention of workpieces due to high smoothness." This achieves both sustainability (reduction of environmental impact) and total cost reduction simultaneously.

Conventional ceramic coatings (such as thermal spraying and CVD/PVD) typically involve large-scale processes that require high-temperature plasma or vacuum equipment, which limits the shapes and substrates that can be coated. ■ Formation of Ceramic Coating Films by Sol-Gel Method Our "Biceram" utilizes the "Sol-Gel method," which is a liquid-phase process that involves applying a liquid (starting material) and then curing it. - A strong coating is formed at a lower temperature (200–250°C) than the usual ceramic sintering temperature, minimizing thermal impact on the substrate. - Due to the liquid process, it can coat complex three-dimensional shapes, fine irregularities, and the inner surfaces of pipes. - The coating itself has a hybrid structure that incorporates silicone release agents within a three-dimensional network of silica (SiO2). In addition to the "uniform applicability" unique to the Sol-Gel method, it simultaneously achieves scratch resistance that surpasses conventional fluororesins with a pencil hardness of 9H and excellent initial release properties.

In semiconductor and electronic component mass production lines that operate continuously for 24 hours, frequent replacement and maintenance of transport hands are a significant bottleneck that causes the entire production line to stagnate. ■Challenges of Resin Hands - Conventional resin hands wear out quickly, requiring complete shutdown of manufacturing equipment with each replacement (resulting in downtime). - Since the working environment is a "clean room," strict entry procedures for workers and pre-cleaning (cleaning and degassing) of replacement parts are essential, leading to significant waste of labor time and costs. ■Switching from Resin to "Metal + PEEK Coating" In response, we proposed "high-rigidity metal (such as SUS) hands + antistatic PEEK coating (PEEKCOAT N04blk)." As a result: - By using metal for the core material, the mechanical strength of the parts themselves is dramatically improved, preventing deformation and cracking due to repeated transport loads. - The PEEK surface layer exhibits excellent wear resistance, significantly extending the lifespan compared to resin hands. - Maintenance labor and equipment downtime in the clean room are dramatically reduced, contributing to improved overall equipment efficiency in the factory.

The commonly used fluororesin coating for equipment parts and transport jigs has excellent sliding properties; however, due to the softness of the coating film, it faces the cost and labor challenge of "wearing out quickly and requiring frequent reapplication (repainting)." The line stoppages and management of spare parts associated with repainting can become factors that pressure factory productivity. ■ High Durability and Sliding Coating PEEKCOAT G Grade By uniformly compounding fluororesin (solid lubricant) within the framework of the super engineering plastic "PEEK resin," which excels in wear resistance and heat resistance, this structure prevents the coating from easily wearing away even in harsh environments with high loads and continuous high-speed sliding, unlike pure fluororesin. While the toughness of PEEK significantly extends the lifespan of the coating, the properties of fluorine continue to provide smooth sliding performance. "This current fluororesin coating has a short lifespan, and it's a problem." "I want to enhance durability and extend the maintenance cycle of the equipment." This is the optimal solution for such challenges.

In the manufacturing process of semiconductors and electronic components, which requires a highly clean environment, the electrostatic and particle countermeasures for transport hands (robot hands, end effectors) that transfer silicon wafers and glass substrates are crucial issues that affect yield. Conventional "machined PEEK resin products" not only generate wear particles due to continuous operation but also attract wear particles and surrounding debris due to the inherent electrostatic properties of the resin, leading to defects in circuit patterns. ■ PEEK Coating with Anti-Static Function "PEEKCOAT N04blk" - Maintains the excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance of PEEK resin while imparting anti-static functionality to the coating. - Minimizes the generation of frictional static electricity, creating a surface environment that repels fine particles from the surroundings. - Forms a smooth and even coating on the surface of components, preventing scratches even when in contact with delicate workpieces and suppressing dust generation in clean rooms.

Amid the tightening global regulations on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), there is an urgent need to explore "fluoropolymer alternative technologies" in manufacturing. ■ Ceramic Coating "Biceram" This is a surface treatment technology that is completely free of organic fluorinated compounds [PFAS-free]. It complies with Japan's "Food Sanitation Act (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Notification No. 370)" standards, making it safe and secure for use in parts and molds of manufacturing machinery that come into direct contact with food, as well as cooking utensils. ■ Composition of the Coating The technology is based on the "sol-gel method," which produces a dense ceramic solid from a liquid. By incorporating a silicone release agent that exhibits non-stick properties at the molecular level within a robust three-dimensional silica network, we achieved excellent initial release properties and scratch resistance that significantly surpasses that of fluoropolymers, reaching a pencil hardness of 9H. This is ideal for those who want to evaluate alternatives in anticipation of future regulatory tightening and are looking for a safe, scratch-resistant release coating.

Biceram" is a hybrid high-performance ceramic coating that combines a strong ceramic framework primarily composed of silica (SiO2) with an excellent non-stick silicone release agent, achieved through the application of the sol-gel method (liquid phase process). Since it is a "liquid application and baking" process, it can coat complex three-dimensional shapes and fine uneven surfaces with a uniform film thickness. ■ Extremely high film hardness Conventional fluororesin coatings (with hardness ranging from F to about 2H) are soft and prone to scratching. In contrast, Biceram boasts a high film hardness with a pencil scratch hardness of [9H]. It is resistant to scratches even in harsh environments where metal scrapers, spatulas, and workpieces frequently come into contact, allowing it to maintain its initial coating performance for an extended period. We propose it as a new option to address on-site challenges such as "fluororesin is too soft and gets scraped off quickly" and "release failures caused by scratches.

In fluoropolymer coatings and PEEK coatings using electrostatic powder coating, the "Faraday cage effect" can make it difficult for paint to adhere to recessed or deep areas. As a result, there may be insufficient film thickness or pinholes, which can lead to a decrease in corrosion resistance and durability. On the other hand, paint tends to concentrate on protruding areas, which can sometimes cause cracking or peeling due to localized thickening. We optimize the coating conditions and film thickness specifications according to product shape and required performance, reducing the risk of film thickness defects.

In fluororesin coatings and PEEK coatings, sandblasting is performed to ensure adhesion. However, for products with cutting edges or sharp edges, impacts from blasting may cause chipping of the cutting edge, edge deformation, or partial distortion. Especially for precision cutting tools and thin-edge shapes, even slight changes in shape can affect performance, making prior consideration important. Our company proposes processing conditions that take into account the balance between product protection and coating adhesion by adjusting blasting media, projection pressure, and changing substrate treatment methods. Please feel free to consult us when considering coatings for industrial cutting tools and cutter components.
