Announcement of Idemitsu's water-soluble cutting oil / GSC Award "Minister of the Environment Award" received.

Extended shelf life against decay and significant reduction in supply quantity! Well-received for reducing stickiness and suppressing mist.

**Awards** - Received the Technical Award at the 43rd Precision Engineering Society - Received the Grand Prize at the 21st 2024 "Super" Monozukuri Parts Awards - Received the Minister of the Environment Award at the 24th Green and Sustainable Chemistry Awards **Product Overview** The "Alpha Cool NV Series" is a water-soluble cutting oil that balances the improvement of the working environment with increased productivity. It is particularly well-received for significantly reducing stickiness on equipment and products, as well as for its effectiveness in suppressing mist and foul odors. Additionally, it has successfully reduced the amount of carry-off. In actual workplaces, it has been confirmed that the consumption of the concentrate has been reduced by an average of 40%. Along with improving the working environment, it contributes to reducing both usage and disposal amounts, thereby enhancing productivity on-site. The NV series offers two types: an emulsion type that accommodates a wide range of processing from non-ferrous to alloy steel, and a soluble type specialized for iron processing. **Features** - Improved resistance to spoilage, extending performance maintenance time by over 250% - Reduced carry-off, cutting concentrate consumption by 40% - Contribution to the environment and reduction of disposal costs - Enhanced safety for workers due to reduced oil mist *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

• Cutting Oil

An example of significantly reducing the supply amount due to extended decay life and a small amount taken away.

We would like to introduce a case where the water-soluble cutting oil "Alpha Cool NV Series" was adopted by Miyahara Co., Ltd. The company faced challenges in reducing running costs. By using our product, we proposed a reduction in usage and an improvement in anti-corrosion properties, which led to a decrease in costs and time spent on coolant management. After adoption, it was demonstrated that even with less than half the replenishment amount, the workability and stable pH (alkaline) were maintained. [Case Overview] ■ Customer's Challenge: Reduction of running costs ■ Manufactured Parts: Precision parts, food and medical parts ■ Work Materials: Stainless steel, iron, some aluminum ■ Type of Oil Used: Market soluble type *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

• Lubricants

Reduce the supply amount of the concentrated solution to contribute to cost reduction and carbon neutrality! Improve stickiness in processed products and within equipment. Awarded the "Super" Manufacturing Parts Award.

The "Alpha Cool NV Series" is a water-soluble cutting oil that has completely re-evaluated the composition of surfactants, including the use of non-volatile amines. It achieves a longer shelf life for active ingredients and has been shown to reduce the amount of concentrate replenishment by an average of about 40% in workplaces that have adopted the NV series. 【Improvement Results with This Product】 ◎ Reduction in the amount of concentrate replenishment for water-soluble cutting oil (average of about 40% for emulsion types) ◎ Reduction of odors due to improved anti-corrosion properties ◎ Improvement in stickiness of products and equipment after processing ◎ Cost savings of about 1 million yen per year for every 30 processing machines *We are currently offering a free collection of case studies summarizing adoption examples. For detailed information, please refer to the "PDF Download" section. *Sample provision and demonstrations (by consultation) are also available. Please feel free to contact us for more details.

"Tissue Tubes" are tubes with a capacity of 3.0ml and a rack lid locking feature. Each tube has a 2D code on the bottom, allowing you to use a 2D scanner to reflect the code in a PC database, enabling efficient management of sample information. Additionally, by using our dedicated rack that holds 24 tubes, you can read the 2D codes on the bottom of the tubes in bulk. 【Features】 - The inner diameter at the mouth is wide at 13.4mm, the height is low at 25.9mm, and the inner bottom is flat, making it easy to insert and remove samples. - Particularly suitable for samples of tissue pieces/cell pieces ranging from 5mm to 7mm. - Using our dedicated rack that holds 24 tubes allows for bulk reading of the 2D codes on the bottom of the tubes. - Compatible with automatic machines due to its SBS format. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

● 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.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is kept to a minimum. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
