Infinite possibilities realized through coating - Supporting the resolution of functionalization challenges - Ideal processing for reuse planning.

D-ALIGN is a post-processing technology that coats functional agents in dot form. By applying the coating in a dot shape, it offers the following benefits: 1) It enables functionalization on thin, coarse fabrics and substrates that are difficult to treat. 2) It allows for the easy expression of performance by adhering many functional agents to the surface of the substrate. 3) It enables management of the amount of functional agent adhered, allowing for stable product supply. 4) It is an environmentally considerate process that minimizes chemical waste after processing by using an appropriate amount of solution. 5) It maintains the characteristics of the substrate (such as stretchability and breathability) even after processing. 6) It has effects that prevent fraying and suppress fuzzing of the substrate, contributing to increased work efficiency. This processing technology is suitable for materials under consideration for differentiation and those that are stagnant, leading to the birth of new materials through D-ALIGN processing. It is a recommended processing method for those considering material development.

Combining the toughness of glass fiber and the moldability of resin in a single sheet. Nittobo’s "Commingled Cloth" enables one-shot molding of complex shapes and dramatic productivity improvements.

Nittobo’s "Commingled Glass Cloth" is an innovative composite material created by twisting and weaving high-strength "glass fibers" with thermoplastic "organic fibers (plastic fibers)" using proprietary technology. Its greatest feature lies in "one-shot molding," which allows products to be manufactured using only heat and pressure. Since the resin is already uniformly mixed with the fibers, the material exhibits exceptional mold-following capability and impregnation. This allows for the precise molding of deep-drawn shapes and complex contours—previously difficult to achieve—in a single process. Consequently, it strongly supports a dramatic shortening of manufacturing steps, cost reduction, and labor savings. Furthermore, by leveraging the properties of thermoplastic resin, post-molding reprocessing and recycling are made easy, contributing to a reduced environmental footprint. While lightweight, it possesses high reaction force and superior impact resistance that surpass aluminum, providing a new standard for manufacturing sites where both strength and productivity are required.

Enabling new design expressions that leverage the inherent beauty of glass cloth weave patterns.

Nittobo’s "GFRP with Visible Weave" is an entirely new decorative composite material developed by precisely adjusting the refractive indices of glass fibers (GF) and the matrix resin. Its greatest feature lies in achieving a sense of transparency and the natural luster of the fibers themselves—a combination previously difficult to balance in conventional FRP. The fiber bundles encapsulated within the resin strongly scatter and reflect light, causing them to appear brilliant. After molding, the glass cloth's weave pattern emerges as a three-dimensional texture, creating a deep 3D effect as if the pattern is floating deep within the resin. While enabling new design expressions that highlight the original beauty of the weave, this next-generation material also firmly maintains the electrical insulation and radio wave permeability inherent to GFRP. It adds transparency and a high-end aesthetic to products without compromising functionality.

Strength and thinness in the palm of your hand. Nittobo’s High-Strength Thin GFRP breaks through the barriers of metal replacement and weight reduction to enable next-generation design.

Nittobo’s "High-Strength Thin GFRP" is a next-generation functional material utilizing our independently developed high-strength glass fiber (GF) as a reinforcement. This high-strength GF is characterized by its superior strength and high elongation compared to conventional glass fibers. By applying this fiber, the mechanical properties of the GFRP are dramatically improved, achieving levels of strength previously unreachable with standard GF products. Developed with the core keywords of "Metal Replacement," "Weight Reduction," "High Strength," "Thin-walling," and "Insulation," this product supports the extreme thinning of components while maintaining high tensile and flexural strength. For designers seeking strength comparable to or exceeding metal in a lightweight form, this is a breakthrough solution that dramatically expands the freedom of structural design, from aerospace to everyday electronic devices.

Making radio wave pathways smoother. Nittobo’s low-Dk glass cloth revolutionizes the permeability of increasingly sophisticated communication and radar equipment.

Nittobo's "Low-Dk Glass Cloth" is a product made from specialized glass fibers with a lower dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df) compared to conventional E-glass. In modern communication and radar technologies, the radio wave permeability of components is crucial. By using this product as a reinforcing material for FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics), it is possible to significantly enhance the radio wave permeability of communication-related components, such as radomes.A key feature of this material is its ability to maintain processability and mechanical properties nearly identical to those of standard E-glass cloth, while providing superior electrical characteristics. It also shows excellent compatibility with various resins, including epoxy and cyanate ester resins, allowing for integration using existing molding processes. This high-performance material offers a new solution for demanding environments—such as next-generation high-speed communications and the aerospace industry—where both precise signal transmission and high structural strength are required.

Combining unbreakable toughness with crystal-clear beauty in a single sheet. Refractive index control rewrites the common sense of transparent resins and glass fibers.

Nittobo’s Glass Fiber Reinforced Transparent Material (developmental product) is a next-generation composite that fuses the structural strength of glass fiber with the superior light transmittance of transparent resin. Conventional FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics) faced the challenge of becoming opaque due to light reflecting at the interface where the refractive indices of the resin and glass fiber differ. This product achieves unprecedented levels of transparency by utilizing precision control technology to match the refractive indices of both materials to the limit, thereby suppressing interface reflection. The greatest advantage lies in simultaneously overcoming the lack of strength in transparent plastics and the brittleness/fragility of tempered glass. While being lightweight, it possesses high rigidity and "toughness" that prevents shattering upon impact, making it suitable for structural components where safety is paramount. This high-performance material resolves the design dilemma of requiring light transmission without compromising strength, expanding possibilities as a tough, lightweight alternative to glass and acrylic.

Lightweight, high-strength, and rust-proof—GFRP screws overcome the inherent weaknesses of steel fasteners.

Nittobo’s glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) screws are high-performance fastening components made of resin reinforced with long glass fibers. The most significant feature is their overwhelming lightness—less than one-third the weight of metal screws—while achieving superior strength through long-fiber reinforcement. This allows for drastic weight reduction by replacing conventional steel bolts. Functionally, these screws leverage the natural properties of GFRP to provide excellent electrical insulation, enhancing safety in electrical and electronic applications. Being non-metallic, they are completely free from rust and corrosion, ensuring a long service life even in harsh environments exposed to water or chemicals. Furthermore, they eliminate the issue of "galvanic corrosion" typically encountered when joining dissimilar metals, offering a highly reliable joining solution for multi-material designs. From mobility sectors aiming for improved fuel efficiency to infrastructure equipment, this developmental product brings innovation to every single bolt.

Proprietary dot coating transforms the common sense of glass cloth. Suppressing fraying and weave misalignment to achieve both dramatic efficiency in layering processes and high-quality results.

Nittobo’s "Glass Cloth Dot" is an innovative new material featuring a uniform dot-pattern coating of hot-melt resin on the surface of glass cloth. It significantly suppresses "fraying," "weave misalignment," and the generation of "glass fuzz (dust)" during cutting and processing—common challenges with conventional glass cloth. This reduces the burden on operators and contributes to maintaining a clean working environment. The most significant feature is its self-adhesive function via heating. This prevents shifting during the layering process and makes shaping to the mold easier, strongly supporting shorter working times and labor savings. The amount and spacing of the hot-melt material can be optimally adjusted according to the application. This ensures product quality stability and improved impact resistance without compromising resin impregnation. It provides the ideal solution for modern composite molding sites where productivity improvements and advanced quality are required.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
