We will be exhibiting at the Adhesive and Bonding Technology Exhibition 2024 held on May 24, 2024.

This is a surface treatment technology that dramatically improves the adhesion of fluororesin films and polyimide films, which have been considered difficult to bond until now.

At Kawamura Industries, we apply plasma treatment to films, metal foils, non-woven fabrics, and more, performing surface modifications such as hydrophilization and hydrophobization. This treatment significantly improves the adhesion of various films and allows for the removal and purification of organic substances from the substrate surface. It can effectively remove residues such as rolling oils that are difficult to completely eliminate with wet cleaning. Additionally, it is possible to bond various materials together without the use of adhesives. **Features of Kawamura Industries' 'Vacuum Plasma Treatment'** - Dramatically improves adhesive strength - Effectively removes rolling oils and organic substances, purifying the surface - Enables adhesive-free bonding of various materials - Selects suitable gas types and plasma treatment conditions for each project - Treatment effects last for an extended period - Continuous processing is possible with roll-to-roll technology *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

It is a material with excellent heat resistance, oil resistance, and hydrolysis resistance, eliminating the need for adhesives. Suitable for insulation applications in EV/HEV vehicles!

Kawamura Industries' "Namil" is a material that is directly bonded without the use of adhesives, thanks to our unique plasma surface treatment and thermal lamination technology. Since it is manufactured through a process that does not use any adhesives or solvents, there are no emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contributing to the reduction of environmental impact on the Earth. By using aramid paper on both sides, we enhance heat resistance and varnish impregnation, and by using PPS film in the intermediate layer, we improve hydrolysis resistance. It is also possible to produce a high heat-resistant grade using polyimide film for the intermediate layer. **Features of Kawamura Industries' "Namil":** - Excellent heat resistance due to being adhesive-free - Thin and excellent thermal conductivity due to being adhesive-free - Superior varnish impregnation due to the use of aramid paper on the surface - Excellent oil resistance and hydrolysis resistance. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

CLT is known as a building material, but its applications are not limited to just buildings. The wooden lightweight mat "Hyper CLT Mat" is a new option for utilizing CLT in civil engineering. It can be used as a wooden mat in places where steel plates have been the norm, such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. The 5×10 mat is relatively light at about 230 kg, making it easy to install, remove, and relocate. Additionally, it offers different values compared to steel, such as reducing glare and metallic noise, as well as CO2 fixation through wood. Moreover, the Hyper CLT Mat is registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism as a NETIS technology "TH-250021-A." It can also be utilized for proposals involving the use of new technologies and environmental considerations in public works. From construction to civil engineering, the new use of wood is expanding in the form of wooden lightweight mats.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can cause changes in the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply 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 at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

We have newly added a **"Frequently Asked Questions Q&A"** section to the Hyper CLT sheet website. It clearly summarizes many questions frequently asked by those considering the introduction of the product, such as "What types of civil engineering sites can it be used on?", "Can it be used on rainy days?", "Is it compatible with large machinery?", and "What is NETIS?". The Hyper CLT sheet is a lightweight wooden sheet utilizing wood CLT, suitable for a wide range of applications including temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery work yards. It is also registered as a **Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS registered technology "TH-250021-A"**. Since it is a new material, we will not leave any uncertainties unaddressed. We aim to create a website that makes it easy to resolve questions before introduction, including information on wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, and we will continue to enhance the Q&A section.

We have added a new **"Glossary"** to the Hyper CLT sheet website. In the civil engineering and construction industries, there are many specialized terms such as "CLT," "NETIS," "temporary roads," and "wooden lightweight sheets." Therefore, we have introduced related terms in an easy-to-understand manner so that those who are encountering Hyper CLT sheets for the first time can understand the products and technologies. Hyper CLT sheets are wooden lightweight sheets for civil engineering that utilize wood CLT and are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS technology as **"TH-250021-A."** We hope that by not only conveying the features of the product but also sharing the underlying technologies and terminology, users will feel a closer connection to Hyper CLT sheets. We will continue to enhance our website and provide clear information related to wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT.
