8th Coating Japan Exhibition - Indium Mirror Coating System Display

Anest Iwata Racing introduces the latest chrome-like painting technology to the Toyota Lexus participating in Super GT300.

On August 3, 2025 (Sunday), at Fuji Speedway in Gotemba City, the rear Lexus emblem of the Anest Iwata Racing Toyota Lexus GT car was coated with "Indium Mirror Coating" during the Super GT300 event. The color is blue (glossy) DRIFT Mirror BLUE. 【Indium Mirror Coating is applied using the painting robot "Swan Pro"】 Indium Mirror Coating is applied by the painting robot "Swan Pro." The painting process consists of 3 coats and 3 bakes. 【Indium Mirror Coating System】 Indium Mirror Coating is achieved through the Indium Mirror Coating System. - Class 10,000 clean room - Painting robots "Swan Pro" and "Swanist" - Paint supply system "Syringe Pump System" - Transport system for painted items "Co-Swan" - Dedicated drying machine for painting "Dry Tech" This system is designed for high mass production efficiency. 【Adding decorations or UV hard coat over Indium Mirror Coating (intermediate coat) for multifunctionality and diverse expressiveness】 - Abundant color samples - Various color developments possible for matte and mirror finishes.

Expressive Indium Mirror Coating

Adding decorative elements or UV hard coats on top of the indium mirror coat (intermediate layer) for multifunctionality and diverse expressiveness. The indium mirror coating system does not guarantee the expression of image photos. It represents a world of creative possibilities. Verification through painting tests is necessary. For creating samples and establishing conditions for sample production, the Data Pro (a painting robot dedicated to data creation) is optimal. - Color samples - Various color developments possible with matte and mirror finishes - The base material is diverse.

What is an indium mirror coating system?

The indium mirror coating system is a dedicated coating process optimized for forming indium-based high-reflectivity mirror films. The standard process consists of a 3-coat, 3-bake structure (repeating application and drying three times), and the management of film thickness, heating conditions, and environmental control during each step significantly affects optical properties and adhesion. In particular, parameters such as the concentration of fine particles, temperature and humidity, and electrostatic environment within the painting booth influence the final film quality (reflectivity, durability), making the formation of the coating in a clean and stable environment extremely important. **Features and Benefits of Indium Mirror Coating** - A new metal color spray method that achieves reduced environmental impact: A coating system using spray painting technology as a replacement for traditional plating processes. - Compatibility with various materials: Forms a highly adhesive and uniform film on various substrates such as stainless steel, resin, and glass. - Excellent radio wave transmission characteristics: Equipped with radio wave transmission performance suitable for radar and communication devices, differing from optical high-reflectivity films, making it ideal for sensor-related applications. - Automation compatibility and multilayer coating: Can be integrated into automated lines in conjunction with Takubo's painting robots. Durability can be adjusted through multilayering from the base layer to the protective layer.

"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.

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.
