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.

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.
