Starting at the end of October 2023, Musashi Paint's email newsletter will be renewed and launched! We have revamped the content to not only include information about paint functions and application examples but also to provide useful information for those involved in manufacturing.

Standard 2-component high-brightness silver! 2-component acrylic urethane metallic paint.

This is a two-component acrylic urethane metallic paint that makes it possible to achieve both "high gloss" and "good film performance" in a single coat, which was previously difficult with two or three coats of high-brightness metallic colors. Furthermore, compared to the Hi-Urex P Grande Bonheur GPX79 line, it contains no toluene or xylene, making it an environmentally friendly paint. It can be adapted to various plastic materials.

The next-generation soft feel synonymous with 'Neorubasan,' which has solved the problem of hydrolysis faster than any other in the industry. It doesn't hydrolyze, so it won't feel sticky!

Neolava-san is a soft-feel paint that does not undergo hydrolysis. Since hydrolysis does not occur, it can maintain its tactile quality for an extended period. It is an attractive paint with excellent tactile feel, environmental compatibility, and scratch resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Solving challenges for display applications! Coatings with excellent laser processing properties.

In indoor environments, sick house syndrome and sick school syndrome have become significant social issues. In response to this problem, various measures have been implemented, including the "indoor concentration guideline values" for 13 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) set by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and the enforcement of the "Revised Building Standards Act" by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Automobile manufacturers are also taking initiatives in line with these measures, promoting the transition to non-toluene and xylene paints and water-based paints for automotive coatings. The EC-LP79 line has been developed as an environmentally friendly paint for automotive interiors, featuring excellent laser cutting properties in light of this background.

The environmentally friendly paint "Bio Paint" is now applicable to wood as well. It is compatible with spray, brush, and roller application methods.

Traditionally, our company's product market has been focused on applications for plastics, but we have developed a new product for wood. Bio paint is a material with high functionality that is also environmentally friendly, and it is expected to merge with various materials and expand into a wide range of fields as a new item that achieves sustainability. *We are currently continuing to improve and develop it to be compatible with various materials. This time, we have tuned the bio paint for wood, making improvements to enable compatibility with many painting and coating methods. 【Case Study】 Mitsubishi Chemical Cleansui Co., Ltd. has opened the "Cleansui House" within the commercial resort facility "Vison" in Mie. On one side of the event space, the table tops made of hinoki wood are finished with paint using Musashi Paint's bio paint. This has realized a coating that maintains design integrity, embodies the environmental aspirations of businesses and designers, and enhances durability while preserving the texture of the wood.

Introducing a baked-type primer that achieves a wide range of adhesion to magnesium alloy materials!

In recent years, large displays have become mainstream as interior components of EVs, and the decoration and protection of their housings have become challenges. Musashi Paint is an expert with a long history of achievements and experience in primers suitable for materials such as magnesium and GF-filled nylon, cultivated through work in automotive interiors and laptops. Our company offers a wide-ranging epoxy-based primer for magnesium alloys, the "Panaco MG/MG75-line." If you are facing challenges with the protection and decoration of special materials, please feel free to contact us. 【Features of the baked primer】 - Excellent adhesion to various chemical treatment coatings and magnesium alloy substrates, as well as superior interlayer adhesion with various topcoats. - Due to its excellent substrate concealment and smoothness, it allows for the application of various designs when combined with appropriate topcoats. - Although it is a two-component paint, it has a usable time of about five days, allowing for handling similar to that of a one-component primer. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. *An English version of the catalog is also available for download.

Adjustable diffuse reflectance! Quickly adapts to various shapes of materials with standard spray painting.

LiDAR sensors, which are gaining attention for applications such as collision prevention in automobiles and autonomous driving assistance, have the capability to accurately measure distances to objects. This "low diffuse reflection coating" is applied to the perforated light-shielding plates used in their internal components, demonstrating anti-reflective properties. Even under expected harsh environmental conditions, it can maintain a stable low diffuse reflectance across a wide wavelength range. 【Features】 ■ Provides anti-glare functionality with a black coating of just 15μm on optical device light-shielding plates. ■ Achieves low diffuse reflection even in the near-infrared wavelength range (750–1500nm) used by LiDAR sensors. ■ Can quickly adapt to various shapes of materials with standard spray coating, making it suitable for reliable components that require durability. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *An English version of the catalog is also available for download.

Full automation is possible, including post-processes such as quality inspection! Contributing to diverse decorative expressions and SDG initiatives.

In November 2019, our company formed a business partnership with Ruhl in Germany and began providing domestic sales and services for PUR (polyurethane) used for in-mold coating. Not only does it reduce costs with high productivity, but the material is solvent-free, eliminating VOC emissions, and contributes to CO2 emission reduction with a curing time of about 60 seconds. Additionally, it has a self-repairing function that maintains long-term aesthetics. 【Features】 ■ Achieves free and diverse decorative expressions in one process ■ Fully automated processes possible, including post-processing such as gate cutting and quality inspection ■ High molding yield achieved through advanced manufacturing process technology (Proven yield rate of over 95% with piano black coating) ■ Contributes to manufacturing cost reduction, including labor costs, through significant labor savings *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Technoa Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, Representative Director: Koji Yamazaki) will hold a limited-time summer special event, "Monozukuri DX CAMP," from Saturday, August 9, 2025, to Saturday, August 23, 2025. Small and medium-sized manufacturing companies face challenges such as a shortage of specialized personnel and a lack of know-how and information, which act as barriers to promoting DX (digital transformation). This event will provide a step-by-step approach to "realistic DX," based on the know-how accumulated by Technoa while supporting the DX transformation of small and medium-sized manufacturing companies. It will be structured as DAY.1 to DAY.5, offering an opportunity for skill development during the summer break and supporting the learning and growth of small and medium-sized manufacturers.

"Because it's an invisible place, we won't overlook it." Japan's climate is characterized by high temperatures and humidity, and particularly after typhoons and heavy rains, the conditions can be harsh for homes. It's not just the roofs and exterior walls that are affected by rain and wind. The area beneath the floor is actually the most susceptible and often overlooked point. This time, we will explain the "checkpoints for under the floor" that should be confirmed after a typhoon or heavy rain, the "responses" if abnormalities are found, and measures for preventing recurrence. [Table of Contents] ■ Why is underfloor checking necessary? ■ Checkpoints to confirm after a typhoon or heavy rain ■ Responses when damage is discovered ■ Points for preventing recurrence ■ Suggestions from Seihou Products ■ Summary Please be sure to read the [related materials] and [related links]. ↓ ↓ ↓
