Notice of Participation in the 2025 Mobak Show (29th International Bakery and Confectionery Industry Exhibition) from February 18 (Tuesday) to February 21 (Friday), 2025.

Improvement of non-stick properties of stainless steel allows for reduced cleaning time. Complies with PFAS regulations! *Case study collection available!

The "PEEK Coating" is a product that enables coating by powdering PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) resin and subsequently dissolving it in water. After application, it can be hardened through firing, allowing the performance of PEEK resin to be enhanced. It excels in wear resistance, chemical resistance, heat resistance, and non-stick properties. By applying and firing it onto molds, it can significantly improve mold lifespan and eliminate the hassle of re-coating, among various other expected benefits. 【Features】 ■ High heat resistance (continuous use temperature of 260°C) ■ Chemical stability against acids, alkalis, and organic solvents as a form of chemical resistance ■ Reduces friction and wear, achieving longer lifespan *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

The base material is stainless steel and aluminum! Obtained (U.S.) FDA and (Japan) Food Sanitation Act certifications.

We would like to introduce a case where our 'PEEK coating' has been adopted in cooking appliances. There were issues with the peeling of the fluorine coating in the inner pots of rice cookers and the challenges of fluorine alternatives due to PFAS regulations. With this adoption, we were able to obtain FDA approval in the U.S. and compliance with the Food Sanitation Act in Japan, leading to a long-standing track record for the inner pots of rice cookers. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - Peeling of the fluorine coating in rice cooker inner pots - Fluorine alternatives due to PFAS regulations ■Results - Long-standing track record for rice cooker inner pots *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Expectations for a decrease in water stains! A case where coloring on stainless steel has become possible.

We would like to introduce a case where our 'PEEK coating' was adopted for kitchen sink units. There were no paints available that allowed for painting on stainless steel for sink bowls and range hoods. With its adoption, the paintability on stainless steel has improved. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - Diversification of color design - No paint available that allows for painting on stainless steel ■Results - Coloring on stainless steel has become possible - Paintability on stainless steel has improved *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

20 years of experience in domestic rice cooker manufacturers with high durability PEEK coating in the inner pot.

A complaint about the fluorine coating peeling off occurred in the inner pot of a domestic rice cooker manufacturer. Since switching to PEEK coating about 20 years ago, there have been no complaints regarding peeling paint or similar issues; it is a coating that has excellent adhesion to metals.

Introducing a case that has received the evaluation of "Innovation is happening in the baking industry!"

We would like to introduce a case where our 'PEEK coating' was adopted for bread loaf molds. In bread loaf molds, the durability of the mold coating (silicone, fluorine) was short, requiring frequent recoating, and there were also issues with the release properties from the bread. With the adoption of the coating, there was no peeling, and both the release properties and coating durability improved, leading to an increase in bread yield. [Case Overview] ■Challenges - The durability of the mold coating was short, requiring frequent recoating. ■Results - No coating peeling, and the coating durability improved (release properties were also not an issue). - Increased bread yield. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Ichikawa Techno Fabrics Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting at the "New Functional Materials Exhibition 2026" held at Tokyo Big Sight. This exhibition will bring together many products and technologies essential for manufacturing, from materials to processing and devices. Numerous visitors with specific needs seeking solutions to various challenges will attend. Collaboration proposals among exhibitors, as well as between visitors and exhibitors, will also be active. At our booth, we plan to showcase "industrial felt." We look forward to your visit.

The winners of the 8th "Safety Labeling and Human Development Contest" hosted by Max Corporation have been decided. Along with this award ceremony, we will hold a "Safety Exchange Meeting" where each company will present and share their daily safety activities. 【Agenda (Tentative)】 - Award ceremony for the 8th "Safety Labeling and Human Development Contest" - Report on safety activities (from two winning companies) - Lecture on workplace safety activities - Exchange of information on safety activities and labeling, etc. This is a valuable opportunity to learn about the initiatives and safety labeling of other companies! We encourage your participation.

The Daigaku Art and Design Exhibition is a joint exhibition by university students studying art and engineering from four universities in Japan. In 2025, it will be held in Nagoya. Natek is sponsoring the Daigaku Art and Design Exhibition 2025 to support the activities of students who will be responsible for Japan's future manufacturing. We look forward to your visit.

When we look around us, we see various areas such as housing, home appliances, automobiles, miscellaneous goods, and sports equipment filled with many plastic materials like synthetic fibers, films, bottles, and resin products. However, the concept of modern polymer materials, specifically the idea of polymers (macromolecules) connected by covalent bonds, was not established just 100 years ago. Therefore, it can be said that in less than a century, numerous plastic materials with various characteristics have been developed and rapidly integrated into our lives. Due to the short history and the diversity of materials, there are various challenges encountered when dealing with plastic materials, and the role of analytical technicians in solving these issues is significant. In this course, we will explain important and fundamental points over two sessions, focusing on the field of resin materials, not only for analytical technicians but also for engineers who create products using plastic materials and those who use plastic products to deepen their understanding. In the first session, which serves as a foundational overview, we will discuss the characteristics of representative plastic materials, including molecular structure and physical properties, characteristics and applications, and manufacturing methods, to aid in the understanding of plastic materials.

When we look around us, we see that various areas such as housing, home appliances, automobiles, miscellaneous goods, and sports equipment are overflowing with many plastic materials like synthetic fibers, films, bottles, and resin products. However, 100 years ago, the concept of modern polymer materials, specifically the idea of polymers (macromolecules) connected by covalent bonds, had not yet been established. Therefore, it can be said that in just under a century, numerous plastic materials with various characteristics have been developed and rapidly integrated into our lives. Due to the short history and the diversity of materials, there are various challenges encountered when handling plastic materials, but the role of analytical technicians in solving these issues is significant. Following the previous foundational edition, this second application edition will explain polymer multiphase materials (such as polymer alloys, compounds, and resin composites) and molding techniques, as well as environmental issues surrounding plastic materials, in order to enhance the practical value of plastic materials.
