Achieve vivid metallic paint with excellent saturation! Available in BLUE, RED, YELLOW, and GREEN.

"Friend Color" is a colored aluminum pigment that uniformly covers an aluminum flake surface with colored pigments. It enables high-saturation and highly decorative color metallic coatings compared to mixing aluminum paste with colored pigments. Additionally, the water-based types EMR-D946BA and EMR-D46GRA have a resin coating layer further covered with a silica layer, allowing compatibility with water-based paints. [Features] - All light that comes from the coating passes through the pigment and becomes colored light. - There are no colored pigment particles in the coating, resulting in less scattered light. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We deliver added value through the surface treatment of aluminum paste!

We provide products with characteristics tailored to their intended uses by applying various surface treatments to aluminum paste. ■ Silica Coating - Gas Suppression… By applying a silica treatment to the surface of aluminum flakes, we prevent the reaction of aluminum flakes with water, which generates hydrogen gas. - Environmental Consideration… The silica treatment is compatible with water-based paints that have low organic solvent content. ■ Resin Coating - Chemical Resistance… Coating the surface of aluminum flakes with acrylic resin prevents reactions with acids and alkalis. - Adhesion… When untreated aluminum paste is used in plastic coatings or gravure printing, the paint film may peel off. However, by coating each aluminum flake with resin, we can improve adhesion to the target object. - Leak Resistance… During electrostatic painting, a high concentration of aluminum paste can cause current leakage, but the resin coating ensures insulation and prevents this. ■ Hybrid Technology These surface treatments can be combined. <Examples> - Silica Coating + Resin Coating - Silica Coating + Metal Coating + Silica Coating *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Shutting out heat with high electromagnetic wave reflection of aluminum! It demonstrates high heat insulation effectiveness!

This is a heat-insulating aluminum pigment (flake type) that utilizes the high electromagnetic wave reflection of metallic aluminum. It effectively reflects in the near-infrared region, suppressing temperature increases in buildings and enclosures due to its heat insulation effect. It is effective for energy conservation and environmental improvement! 【Features】 - High reflectivity… High reflection across a wide wavelength range. It reflects most of the light and thermal energy. - Low thermal absorption… Efficiently dissipates heat, preventing heat from accumulating on the surface. - High hiding power… Strong ability to cover the substrate, allowing effectiveness even with a small amount. - Wide range of applications… Usable in a variety of applications such as paints, printing, and compounding.

Addressing environmental issues. Achieving a mirror finish with painting instead of plating.

This is a vacuum-deposited aluminum pigment that achieves a mirror-like effect by smoothly grinding a very thin aluminum film. It can produce a metallic luster in coatings and printing. Do you have any of these concerns? "I want to achieve a metallic luster on materials or areas where plating is not possible." "I want to reduce environmental impact by stopping plating." Since partial decoration is possible with coatings, we can accommodate detailed needs. Unlike plating, it does not generate toxic components, making it environmentally friendly. Coatings can be reapplied, making them suitable for repair purposes as well. We also offer a water-based type of EMERALSHINE, which has a silica treatment on the surface for use in water-based coatings and inks. 【Features】 ○ Achieves a mirror-like finish ○ Environmentally friendly as it does not use plating ○ Suitable for coatings and printing applications For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Recently, we held technical training sessions for the MilkoScan FT3 at five locations nationwide. In this training, we provided a wide range of useful information for operating the equipment, including explanations of the principles and structure of the device, how to create measurement products, daily maintenance, and how to respond to issues when they arise. Additionally, this year we introduced new methods for utilizing digital services (such as FossCalibrator and IQX) and also prepared hands-on sessions where participants could experience operating the equipment using a PC. Thank you to everyone who participated. Please feel free to contact us with any questions after the training. ------- At Foss Japan, in addition to training sessions and workshops to ensure you can use our equipment with confidence, we hold many events throughout the year. In seminars and open houses tailored to specific industries and analytical techniques, we showcase Foss's latest analytical solutions. -------

[Lecturers] EY Strategy and Consulting Co., Ltd. Infrastructure Advisory Partner Kenichiro Fukuda Strategy Partner Ken Fujiyama Infrastructure Advisory Director Takashi Matsumura [Key Lecture Content] The water supply and sewage business is facing structural challenges such as facility aging, a shortage of workforce, and a decrease in revenue due to population decline. The government is promoting the introduction of Water PPPs, regional consolidation, and the digital transformation of water supply and sewage systems, marking a significant turning point in the way these businesses are operated. This change is expanding business opportunities for private companies in various areas, including operation and maintenance, pipeline renewal, digital technology, and the utilization of smart meters and data. Additionally, as a means of expanding business domains and enhancing competitiveness, there has been an increase in capital and operational partnerships and M&A between companies, leading to industry restructuring. In this seminar, based on the latest trends in policy and the market, we will introduce business strategies for private companies to enter and expand in the water supply and sewage market, including the use of M&A and capital operational partnerships, drawing on achievements from both public and private support.
