General grade with high purity and high aspect ratio. Phlogopite, derived from the Greek word phlogopos meaning "like flame."

The "Repkomica S Series" is a product made from natural mica that has been refined and crushed at a domestic factory. It maximizes the high elasticity inherent in natural mica through manufacturing techniques developed over many years, resulting in a high aspect ratio (average particle size/thickness), which is a key feature of flake fillers. By being incorporated into industrial materials such as plastics, paints, and rubber, it is expected to provide various functionalities centered around rigidity, dimensional stability, and heat resistance. 【Features】 ■ Long-term supply stability due to abundant reserves ■ Quality stability through domestic production system ■ No crystalline silica detected (detection level: below quantification limit) ■ Various grades available based on average particle size ■ Flexible response to custom grade orders and surface treatments ■ Short delivery times supported by domestic bases Please feel free to download for more detailed information. 　　　　　　　　　↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Demonstrates high cost performance! Easily applicable to products that require high whiteness and colorability.

The "Repkomica M Series" is a product made from naturally occurring muscovite that has been refined and crushed at a domestic factory. It has a high whiteness and can be easily incorporated into products that require coloring. Additionally, it excels in insulation resistance, making it particularly effective for applications such as electronic components. When filled into industrial materials like plastics, paints, and rubber, it is expected to enhance and impart properties such as rigidity, dimensional stability, and heat resistance. 【Features】 ■ High whiteness allows for easy incorporation into products that require coloring ■ Excellent insulation resistance ■ Particularly high performance in applications such as electronic components ■ Expected to enhance and impart properties like rigidity, dimensional stability, and heat resistance ■ Flexible response to surface treatment and custom grade production ■ Short delivery times supported by domestic facilities

◆Developing a stable supply system centered around our domestic factories ◆High cost-performance due to processing raw materials with dry grinding! ◆Custom-made products are also available

"Mica" is a mineral classified as a silicate aluminum compound. The mica products we handle are high-purity, high-quality, and high-aspect-ratio flake powders, and we have established a stable supply system centered around our domestic factory. We offer a wide range of grades with average particle sizes from several micrometers to several hundred micrometers, allowing for flexible responses tailored to our customers' applications and requests. Additionally, since we mainly process raw materials for dry grinding, we achieve high cost performance. 【Features】 ■ A mineral classified as a silicate aluminum compound ■ Non-toxic to humans and eco-friendly ■ High-purity, high-quality, high-aspect-ratio flake powders ■ A stable supply system centered around our domestic factory ■ Flexible responses tailored to customers' applications and requests Please feel free to download detailed information. 　　　　　　　　　↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair 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" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair 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 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.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or variations in dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can change 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 Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repairs 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.
