Polymer microparticles "Tech Polymer" newly expanded into automotive lighting applications.

"Tech Polymer" can be used as an additive to impart light diffusion properties and AB characteristics in compounds and masterbatches.

In residential and commercial lighting fixtures, as well as in the decorative and partial lighting fields primarily for vehicles, various resin molded products are used as additives. The polymer microparticles known as "Tech Polymer" differ from inorganic materials, offering a wide range of particle sizes and various customization options. Additionally, they are well-regarded for their stability in particle size distribution. Composition: Cross-linked acrylic-based and cross-linked polystyrene-based Particle Size: 1.5μm to 200μm *Some submicron and nanosize options are also available Particle Size Distribution: Polydisperse and monodisperse Shape: True spherical, hollow, and irregular (biconvex lens, etc.) Refractive Index: 1.49 to 1.59 Heat Resistance: 250 to 270°C *High heat-resistant grades above 300°C are also available Expected Effects: Light diffusion, low dielectric, hollowing, stress relief

The polymer microparticle "Tech Polymer" can be considered for various automotive components.

"Tech Polymer" is a polymer microparticle based on acrylic, styrene, and other materials. With a strong ability to customize, we can propose the optimal grade according to your needs. 【Application Examples】 ■ Instrument Panel By adding it to the resins and coatings used in panels, it contributes to preventing sunlight reflection and glare. We can also propose high heat-resistant particles and refractive index adjustment particles suitable for automotive use. ■ Display Cover Panel With the trend towards thinner and larger in-vehicle displays, it can help prevent warping and reduce shrinkage of the resins (such as PC) used in cover panels. We can accommodate requests with porous, hollow porous, and soft particles, among others. ■ Sensor-Related Covers By adding it to the resins and paints used in LiDAR sensor covers and millimeter-wave radar covers, it is expected to provide an anti-reflection effect on the inner surface. It helps maintain the performance of laser light and contributes to the safety of ADAS. ■ Headlamp Lens Cover It can be considered as a light-diffusing material for headlamp lens covers. It can provide functions that make lamp images and direct light less noticeable, as well as brighten the entire cover.

Fukuda's new flagship model. - Masterless type (FLA-0200 series) - General type (FLA-0201 series) Two models of air leak testers. With the mastering correction function, high-precision measurements can be achieved in a short time. Please take a look at the catalog.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm. Please feel free to contact us for more information!

We are offering it as a PDF file. Please take this opportunity to download and view it!

What is an Air Leak Tester? An "Air Leak Tester" is a device that pressurizes the inside (or outside) of a sealed workpiece with air and determines the presence of leaks based on pressure changes. When a master with no leaks and a workpiece with leaks are pressurized, the pressure on the workpiece side decreases, creating a pressure difference between the two. By measuring this pressure difference, the presence of leaks can be determined. Generally, differential pressure air leak testing is widely used, but Fukuda also offers products that utilize direct pressure leak testing and flow meters according to the leak rate, in addition to differential pressure leak testers. Since the air leak tester uses air as the measurement medium, it incurs no running costs and is environmentally friendly.
