[Website Renewal] We have launched a new website that helps in selecting functional coatings (Nikkan Painting Industry Co., Ltd.).

A new PFAS-free alternative to fluoropolymer resins.

In recent years, due to the strengthening of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) regulations, the food processing industry has been exploring alternatives to fluoropolymer coatings. Fluoropolymers, known for their excellent non-stick and heat-resistant properties, have been used for many years, but concerns about future regulatory risks and environmental considerations have increased interest in new surface treatment technologies. Against this backdrop, ceramic-based coatings that do not contain PFAS are gaining attention. This coating, based on inorganic materials, is expected to be a next-generation surface treatment that aims to balance environmental impact reduction with functionality. Our "Biceram" is a coating that is PFAS-free yet offers high non-stick properties and durability, making it suitable for food applications. It demonstrates stable performance even in firing environments, providing a practical alternative to traditional fluoropolymer coatings. If you are considering compliance with PFAS regulations or a review of coatings, we can propose optimal specifications tailored to your applications and conditions. We also welcome technical consultations and prototype verifications, so please feel free to contact us.

Balancing regulatory compliance and performance maintenance. A new alternative to fluororesins.

In recent years, the strengthening of regulations on PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) has increased interest in alternative technologies to fluoropolymer coatings. Traditionally, fluoropolymers have been widely adopted due to their excellent properties such as non-stickiness, chemical resistance, and heat resistance. However, moving forward, ensuring compliance with regulations while maintaining performance and cost balance has become an important challenge. In this context, PEEK (polyether ether ketone), a super engineering plastic, is gaining attention as PEEKCOAT. PEEK maintains stable mechanical properties even in high-temperature environments and exhibits excellent wear resistance and chemical resistance, contributing to the longevity of equipment through an approach different from that of fluoropolymers. Particularly in components where wear and contact are repeated, durability often becomes more important than non-stickiness, making PEEK coatings a viable option for such applications. Our company offers optimal PEEK coating specifications tailored to the application and usage environment. If you are considering compliance with PFAS regulations or reviewing existing coatings, please feel free to contact us for technical consultations and prototype testing.

From 2000 to 20000 shots. Achievements in achieving stable operation.

The selection of coatings in the hot riveting process directly impacts not only quality but also production efficiency. In one case, a customer faced issues with resin adhesion to the riveting jig and insufficient durability of the coating during the lens component fixing process. Previously, a non-stick coating was applied, but its performance deteriorated after about 2,000 shots, necessitating frequent jig replacements. This led to problems such as line stoppages and increased maintenance burdens. We proposed a high-durability type called "Thermo Pro Release." This coating maintains non-stick properties for an extended period due to its film that is difficult to peel off even in high-temperature environments. As a result, durability improved to approximately 20,000 shots, achieving about ten times the lifespan compared to the previous solution. Resin adhesion and thread pulling were also significantly improved, successfully balancing quality stability and increased production efficiency. Similar challenges occur in many workplaces. We are available for technical consultations and prototype testing, including possibilities for process improvements, so please feel free to contact us.

Prevention of foreign matter adhesion on cutting edges and precision molds! "Ultra" thin film release coating "NonStick STC" (trademark application pending)

"NonStick STC" is an ultra-thin release coating applicable to cutting tools and precision molds! ■ Features of NonStick STC - Smooth No roughening such as blasting is required as a pre-treatment before coating, and post-polishing of the cutting edge after coating is also unnecessary. This helps maintain the sharpness of the cutting tools. - Transparent & Thin Being colorless and transparent with a film thickness of less than 1µm, it preserves the texture of the material. Additionally, it prevents dimensional changes in molds due to coating, which is crucial for precision molds that require accuracy. - Clean It is difficult for adhesive foreign substances, such as tape adhesives, to adhere, and if they do, they can be easily removed. This prevents a decrease in the sharpness of cutting tools and contamination of molds due to foreign substance adhesion.

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 in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

SPACECOOL Inc., which researches, develops, and sells the radiation cooling material "SPACECOOL" that releases heat into space to achieve zero-energy cooling, will exhibit at the "Jumbo Surprise Exhibition," a comprehensive trade fair for electrical materials and housing equipment, held at Tokyo Big Sight from April 17 (Friday) to April 18 (Saturday), 2026, and at Intex Osaka from April 24 (Friday) to April 25 (Saturday), 2026. This material is a new technology that enables zero-energy cooling by converting heat into infrared radiation and releasing it into space, without using any external power. By implementing it in outdoor air conditioning units and outdoor electrical equipment, it helps suppress internal temperature rises, contributing to stable operation of devices and reduction of air conditioning energy consumption, and is being recognized as a new carbon-neutral technology. Its energy-saving performance has been acknowledged, and this material received the 2025 Energy Conservation Award. When you visit the venue, please stop by our booth. Our booth number is 972 (common for both Tokyo and Osaka). We will continue to work towards expanding the social implementation of SPACECOOL to contribute to the stable operation of outdoor equipment and air conditioning units, as well as to reduce air conditioning energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
