PEEK coating has excellent mechanical strength and chemical resistance, but traditionally it has been difficult to ensure film thickness, with thick films generally being around 300 to 500 μm. As a result, there were limitations in durability in extremely harsh sliding environments, such as sliding parts subjected to high loads. Our company has adopted a layered process that repeats painting and firing multiple times, allowing for thick films of up to 3000 µm. This process achieves stable film formation while minimizing the risk of cracks and peeling due to internal stress and thermal expansion differences. The increased thickness makes it easier to secure wear allowances, contributing to the longevity of sliding and transport components. It can also be applied to applications that were difficult to address with conventional thin-film PEEK coatings.

In components used in chemical environments, the reduction of lifespan due to corrosion and degradation is a challenge. PEEK is a resin with excellent chemical resistance, but conventional coatings have thin film thicknesses, which poses challenges for long-term protective performance. Our PEEKCOAT forms a stable protective layer even in chemical environments due to a thick film of up to 3000µm. It is easier to maintain performance in corrosive atmospheres and under chemical contact conditions, contributing to the longevity of equipment. It is also possible to achieve a balance with wear resistance, making it a suitable surface treatment for harsh environments. We also accommodate the consideration of individual specifications and prototype evaluations. For technical consultations and prototype verifications, please feel free to contact us.

Wear and deterioration of equipment parts can lead to increased maintenance costs and downtime.

In the manufacturing process of baked goods, the adhesion of dough to molds and baking sheets is a critical issue directly linked to quality and productivity. When release failures occur, it leads to appearance defects such as chipping and deformation of the products, resulting in decreased yield and increased waste loss. Moreover, under harsh usage conditions such as high-temperature baking and repeated cleaning, the deterioration of coating performance exacerbates adhesion problems. Against this backdrop, there is a demand for surface treatments that achieve stable non-stick properties and durability. Biceram, with its high non-stick properties unique to ceramics, suppresses dough adhesion and burning. It maintains stable release properties even after baking, contributing to quality stabilization and improved production efficiency. We can also accommodate specification considerations and prototype responses tailored to on-site challenges. If you are facing issues with release failures or adhesion problems, please feel free to contact us.

In food processing equipment, coating performance that can withstand high-temperature baking and repeated use is required. Common non-stick coatings tend to degrade in performance due to temperature and frequency of use, often necessitating regular reprocessing. Biceram features the high hardness and heat resistance characteristic of ceramic-based coatings, maintaining stable film performance even in high-temperature environments of around 250°C. This allows for the retention of non-stick properties over an extended period, suppressing performance degradation. Additionally, the hard coating is resistant to wear, demonstrating durability even in parts that are used repeatedly. As a result, this contributes to the longevity and stable operation of the equipment. We can propose optimal coating specifications tailored to the usage environment and product characteristics. If you are experiencing challenges with non-stick performance in high-temperature environments, please feel free to consult us.

In food manufacturing, the lifespan of coatings significantly impacts total costs. Whenever non-stick performance declines, re-coating or part replacement becomes necessary, leading to not only costs but also losses due to production stoppages. Biceram offers high durability and non-stick properties, allowing for prolonged use compared to conventional coatings. This can lead to reduced re-coating frequency and extended replacement cycles, contributing to lower maintenance costs. Additionally, its excellent cleanability results in shorter cleaning times and reduced workload. As a result, it simultaneously achieves improved production efficiency and cost reduction. We can provide technical consultations and prototype support, including a review of current costs and potential areas for improvement. Please feel free to contact us.

A certain food processing manufacturer was using fluororesin coating for their baked goods molds, but due to high sugar content in the dough and high-temperature baking conditions, they faced issues with release failures. Initially, there were no problems, but after about three months, the non-stick properties decreased, leading to dough sticking and chipping. Along with the decline in quality, the increased frequency of re-coating became a significant burden. We proposed a ceramic-based coating called "Biceram." With stable film performance and excellent non-stick properties even in high-temperature environments, we aimed to improve the sticking issues. After implementation, the release properties clearly improved, enabling stable production. Additionally, durability increased, extending the usage period to about six months, achieving approximately twice the lifespan compared to before. As a result, the frequency of re-coating decreased, and costs were reduced by about half. We can propose optimal specifications for sites facing similar challenges. We also accept technical consultations and prototype verifications, so please feel free to contact us.

In the label printing process, issues such as adhesive attachment to the receiving part leading to transport failures and positional misalignment are significant factors contributing to reduced yield. This is especially true for labels with high adhesive strength, where conventional fluororesin coatings or plating treatments often do not provide sufficient effectiveness, and cases of recurrence after a certain period are not uncommon. An effective solution to these challenges is our "NonStick Coating." Based on silicone release technology, our unique non-stick coating significantly suppresses the adhesion of label adhesives. Furthermore, by reducing the contact area through the fine structure of the surface, it demonstrates excellent release properties even against strongly adhesive materials. This results in direct improvements in stabilizing label transport, reducing cleaning frequency, and lowering the risk of equipment downtime. It is increasingly being adopted in many workplaces as a countermeasure against adhesive troubles in the label printing process.

One of the most troublesome challenges in the label printing process is "adhesive residue." Particularly with labels that have strong adhesive properties, glue tends to accumulate on the receiving part, leading to transport issues and misalignment. Traditional fluoropolymer coatings may perform well initially, but they tend to lose effectiveness over time. Our NonStick Coating utilizes the excellent release properties of silicone to fundamentally suppress adhesive residue. Additionally, the release components are supplied from within the coating film, maintaining performance over an extended period. This achieves sustained non-stick properties against adhesives. It is an effective solution that supports stable operations in environments struggling with label adhesive residue.

The adhesive that adheres to the label receiving part accumulates over time, leading to increased cleaning work and equipment downtime. Routine cleaning tasks not only increase the workload but also result in decreased production efficiency. NonStick Coating forms a surface that makes it difficult for the adhesive to "stick" and "remain," thereby suppressing the accumulation of dirt. As a result, it significantly reduces cleaning frequency and contributes to improved equipment operating rates. This coating is ideal for sites that want to achieve stable production while reducing maintenance burdens.

Fluoropolymer coatings, widely used as a solution for adhesion problems, may not always be effective against high-adhesion label adhesives. There are also many cases where the adhesive accumulates over time, leading to recurring issues. NonStick Coating utilizes the non-miscibility of silicone to create a surface that is less prone to adhesive attachment. By further optimizing the surface structure, it reduces the contact area and demonstrates non-stick performance that surpasses conventional coatings. It serves as an effective option for challenges that could not be improved with existing measures.

Many of the equipment stoppages in the label printing process are caused by adhesive sticking to the receiving section, leading to transport failures. Even slight adhesion can cause misalignment and blockages, resulting in line stoppages. NonStick Coating fundamentally eliminates the source of trouble by suppressing the adhesion of label adhesive itself. It enhances transport stability and contributes to the realization of a "non-stopping line." It is an effective means for improving equipment reliability in environments that prioritize stable operation.

In manufacturing, coating technology is directly linked to quality improvement and maintenance efficiency. Traditionally, fluoropolymer coatings (PTFE, PFA, FEP) have been mainstream, but recent strengthening of PFAS regulations has led to a demand for environmentally friendly alternative technologies. Our PEEK coating offers high wear resistance and heat resistance, and is PFAS-free, complying with environmental regulations. Although its release properties do not match those of fluoropolymers, it excels in load-bearing and durability for sliding parts. Depending on the application, a focus on sliding properties can utilize fluoropolymers, while a focus on durability can use PEEK, and a hybrid design combining both is also possible. By selecting the coating that best fits the process conditions, production efficiency can be maximized.

PEEK coating has high hardness and is resistant to wear even in sliding parts and high-load environments, allowing for a longer lifespan. The continuous use temperature is approximately 260°C, and it also has high chemical resistance, withstanding acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. In processes where wear resistance is a challenge for conventional fluoropolymer coatings, PEEK demonstrates stable performance. Being PFAS-free, it complies with environmental regulations and helps avoid future regulatory risks. It is an optimal choice for process improvements under high loads and harsh conditions.

PEEK coating is not only an alternative to fluoropolymer but also a next-generation surface treatment that combines wear resistance, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. By organizing the required characteristics of the process, such as emphasis on release properties, load-bearing and high-temperature environments, and compliance with environmental regulations, optimal coating selection is possible. We offer specification proposals and prototype verification tailored to your applications.
