Awarded a technology prize from BMW! Optimal for large-scale casting production! An innovative molding method in terms of technology, economy, and environment!

The "INOTEC Binder System" is an optimal molding method for aluminum and iron-based castings, as well as non-ferrous alloy castings. It adopts a new inorganic core based on silicates that does not produce emissions. This system addresses issues associated with traditional inorganic cores, such as "poor dimensional accuracy," "inability to regenerate sand," and "excessive sand adhesion on the casting surface," making it suitable for mass production of castings that require advanced casting technology. 【Features】 ■ Reduced adhesion of sand grains and penetration defects on aluminum casting surfaces ■ Optimized collapsibility that allows for complete sand removal even in delicate water jacket cores ■ Significantly high dimensional accuracy during pouring due to improved thermal stability of the mold ■ Improvement of casting base structure (refinement of dendrite arm spacing) ■ Applicability of water-based coatings for iron-based casting cores ■ Sand regeneration capability *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us at info.japan@ask-chemicals.com.

The glass pot lid has a hydrophilic heat-resistant coating, allowing you to check the cooking state without any fogging.

"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]. ↓ ↓ ↓

Explosion-proof motors available in stock We will deliver within 7 days to meet your delivery schedule. 【What is an explosion-proof motor?】 In factories and plants, flammable gases and vapors are present. When these mix with air and come into contact with an ignition source, an explosion or fire can occur. This motor is designed with measures to eliminate such ignition sources. 【Available stock models】 ■ Pressure-resistant explosion-proof motors, explosion-proof grade d2G4 - Foot-mounted type, output 0.4 to 3.7 kW, 4 poles - Flange type, output 0.4 to 0.75 kW, 4 poles ■ Increased safety explosion-proof motors, explosion-proof grade eG3 - Foot-mounted type, output 0.2 to 0.75 kW, 2 and 4 poles - Flange type, output 0.2 to 0.75 kW, 2 and 4 poles

As part of the "Hometown Ibara Future Creation Human Resource Development Project," we welcomed local elementary and middle school students to the special summer program "Ibara Job Exploration Tour 2025," a collaboration between the Ibara City Chamber of Commerce and the Corporate Branding Committee. We conducted a presentation that clearly and enjoyably introduced how our technology supports society, allowing the children to learn about the appeal of manufacturing and the significance of working while interacting with actual devices and products. Through this initiative, we hope to deepen our connection with the community and nurture the curiosity of the children who will carry the future. We sincerely thank everyone who participated, as well as all those involved in planning and organizing the event.

We will disclose the interim financial results for the fiscal period ending December 2025.
