Matsui Manufacturing Co., Ltd. acquires the micro-foamed molding system business of Trexel Japan Co., Ltd.

An environmentally friendly physical foaming method that utilizes nitrogen and carbon dioxide in a supercritical state. It allows for a reduction in resin usage and improvement in dimensional accuracy.

The "MuCell Microcellular Foam Molding System" is an environmentally friendly physical foaming method that utilizes supercritical nitrogen or carbon dioxide. It offers unique characteristics not found in traditional methods, such as weight reduction through foaming, reduction in resin usage, increased design flexibility utilizing foaming, thinning due to improved flowability, and downsizing of molding machines due to reduced clamping force. Additionally, unlike chemical foaming methods, it provides recycling characteristics equivalent to those of conventional molding, making it suitable for the production of consumer products that require environmental considerations. The MuCell microcellular foam molding system is now compatible not only with injection molding but also with blow molding,extrusion molding. **Features** - Weight reduction and resin usage reduction - Improved dimensional accuracy (reduction of sink marks and warpage) - Low-pressure molding and thinning due to reduced foaming and resin viscosity - High cycle times and increased productivity due to reduced holding pressure time - Reduced mold costs - Enhanced design flexibility - Shortened development time - Sustainability *For more details, please feel free to contact us.* MuCell is a registered trademark of Trexel Inc.

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.

JOHNAN has released a video that clearly explains the implementation technology for stretchable films, which are expected to be utilized in wearable devices and medical equipment. In the video, you can see how the film, which has excellent elasticity, stretches and contracts. Please check our high technological capabilities and the flexible characteristics that are useful for product development. We hope this will help you generate new ideas in product development. ▼You can watch the video here [Link to the implementation page for stretchable films] https://www.johnan.com/dms/mounting/filmdevic/stretchable/

"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]. ↓ ↓ ↓
