FRP reinforced with glass fibers. Numerous achievements in electrical insulation components for heavy electrical equipment, vehicles, and facilities, with thin plates used as shielding plates for circuit breakers and switches!

One of the main materials handled at our factory is an electric insulation laminated board made by impregnating, laminating, and molding a glass mat substrate with a specially formulated polyester resin. It features strength, heat resistance, and does not discolor. We have numerous cases of switching from phenolic materials. It also has good machinability, and mass production processing with press cutting is possible for thicknesses below 3mm. This material is used for electrical insulation components in heavy electrical equipment, railways, semiconductors, and electrical installations. Thin sheets have a proven track record as shielding plates for circuit breakers and switches. We offer three colors: red, white, and gray. It excels in insulation, arc resistance, and tracking resistance, and has obtained UL standard 94-V0 for heat resistance. The heat resistance class is Type B. We also have higher-grade options with enhanced flame retardancy. NEMA standard: equivalent to GPO-2 / JIS standard: equivalent to TL-GEM For more details, please refer to "PDF Download" or feel free to contact us.

A new paper substrate with bakelite that maintains mechanical properties while incorporating antistatic functions. It features an excellent linear expansion coefficient compared to thermoplastic substrates like nylon.

With an excellent linear expansion coefficient, it can be used in a temperature range of 0°C to 120°C without being affected by the environment. It maintains the mechanical properties of conventional products, making it highly processable. Compared to general antistatic grades of nylon, it has a higher linear expansion coefficient, and the small difference between the longitudinal and lateral directions reduces concerns about dimensional changes. Its heat resistance temperature is also 130°C, comparable to that of standard laminated boards. It has high processability and can be used in various applications such as jigs, transport pallets for electronic components, and covers for machine tools. As an antistatic grade, it is particularly useful for machine parts in clean rooms and for FA parts where dust is a concern. We can also accept machining processes at our own factory. If there are concerns about scratches due to the black color, masking options are also available.

It has excellent electrical properties, mechanical strength, heat resistance, and moisture resistance, making it an FRP that performs well in areas subjected to high mechanical strength and high pressure.

One of the main materials handled by our factory is a laminated board based on glass cloth. Since it uses glass cloth as the base material, it has greater strength than glass mat laminated boards. The heat resistance class is F, and we also handle higher grades with enhanced mechanical strength. Press cutting processing is possible for thicknesses below 3mm. It excels in electrical insulation, mechanical properties, and heat resistance, and has also passed the combustion test for railway vehicle materials (abbreviated as: vehicle material combustion test). We also handle higher grades such as FR-4 and G-11. NEMA standard: equivalent to G-10 / JIS standard: equivalent to EL-GEM.

A long-selling insulating material that is inexpensive and easy to machine.

It is a laminate made of paper substrate and cured with phenolic resin. It is a highly versatile and inexpensive insulator that is easy to machine. We have extensive experience in power distribution and vehicle applications. It is widely used in distribution boards, transformers, and vehicle insulators. Discoloration may occur over time, but there are no issues with quality. PL-PEV is a high-voltage grade that is a superior version of PL-PEM. Its applications are largely similar to those of PL-PEM, but it is often used when electrical properties are required. Its strength is inferior compared to glass laminates. JIS standards: PL-PEM, PL-PEV *We also handle paper-based phenolic resin laminates that comply with the combustion test for railway vehicle materials (railway material combustion test).

This is an insulating board made from Kyocera Chemical's BMC premix material, which has been heated and compression molded.

It is primarily composed of unsaturated polyester resin. We have a track record of insulating parts for distribution boards, vehicle components, heavy electrical equipment, and more, including parts for railway vehicles and insulation components related to plant construction. The heat resistance is typically 150°C. Compared to polyester glass mat laminated boards, its strength is inferior. However, it excels in electrical properties and heat resistance. It also has excellent machinability, making it suitable for various structural materials. There are several grades available, each with its own characteristics. We keep the general grade TC-F1 in stock. We also have grades that are resistant to salt, chemicals, acids, and sulfuric acid. All grades can be handled.

CLT, which has been widely adopted in the construction field, is now expanding its applications into the civil engineering sector. The "Hyper CLT Mats" are civil engineering CLT products that utilize wood CLT as temporary materials. Traditionally, steel plates have been the mainstream choice for temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery yards. The Hyper CLT Mats introduce a new option of "wood" to that market. The 5x10 mats weigh approximately 230 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove with small machinery, with a maximum capacity of 40 mats on a 10-ton truck. They also have advantages in terms of workability and transportation efficiency. Moreover, they offer added value that can only be achieved with wood, such as glare reduction, noise control, CO2 fixation, and consideration for aesthetics. This product is expected to be a new proposal for not only construction companies but also building material firms, lumber companies, and material trading companies. It is a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS, with the registration number "TH-250021-A." The use of wood is not limited to construction anymore. The utilization of Hyper CLT Mats is expanding as a new market that connects civil engineering and wood.

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.
