We will introduce Yoshida SKT in a video of about 2 minutes. Please take a look.

Yoshida SKT began fluororesin processing in 1963. In 1968, it signed a licensing agreement with DuPont in the United States. For half a century since then, we have pursued surface treatment functions, starting with Teflon™ fluororesin coatings. In response to customer needs, we have also developed numerous original coatings. At Yoshida SKT, we can accommodate a wide variety of substrates and offer proposals from hundreds of types of coating materials. This expands the range of coatings that customers can choose from. In addition to functions such as "reducing adhesion of sticky substances" and "improving slip," we respond meticulously to the diverse needs and environments of our customers, such as "requiring precision" or "requiring heat resistance," to achieve reliable effects. We also provide test pieces that can be tried on-site for support. For cost reduction in manufacturing, strengthening competitiveness, and creating a welcoming environment on-site, please feel free to consult with us first.

Incredible durability! A coating system suitable for applications with mechanical loads.

"Bycoat(R)" is a coating system that achieves the ideal functions of "sliding properties" + "release properties" + "wear resistance" by combining inorganic and organic surface treatment technologies. It withstands harsh usage areas such as the chutes and guides of injection molds and food packaging machines, providing reliable release and sliding properties. Additionally, due to its excellent dimensional accuracy, it is suitable for areas requiring micron-level precision. 【Features】 ■ Incredible durability ■ High hardness and resistant to scratches ■ Excellent wear resistance ■ Outstanding non-stick and release properties ■ Safe for use in molds requiring micron-level dimensional accuracy *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Achieving water repellency, oil repellency, release properties, and non-stick properties with nano-level thin films of less than 1μm. Jigs, molds, and equipment that were once given up on can be improved with nano processes.

The nano process is a coating process that forms functional materials as thin films at the nano level, below 1μm, on substrates. It enhances properties such as water repellency, oil repellency, non-stickiness, and liquid sliding. Since it causes almost no dimensional changes and can maintain optical properties, it enables processing in fields where fluororesin coatings have been difficult, such as "precision parts" and "areas requiring high dimensional and surface accuracy." <Examples of industries that require high surface accuracy> Semiconductors, Automotive, Batteries, Electronic Components, Medical Devices, etc. 【Features of Each Series】 ■ TC-10S Excellent precision of 100nm, visible light transmittance, water repellency, and oil repellency. ■ TLS Series Superior non-stickiness against adhesive materials like tape. ■ NCFPC Series Excellent liquid sliding properties for water and oil. ■ HP Series Excellent hydrophilicity. Currently, we are distributing technical materials summarizing the features and functions of all series. If you are interested in more details or are facing challenges with surface treatment in precision fields, please download the materials or contact us directly.

CLT is known as a building material, but its applications are not limited to just buildings. The wooden lightweight mat "Hyper CLT Mat" is a new option for utilizing CLT in civil engineering. It can be used as a wooden mat in places where steel plates have been the norm, such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. The 5×10 mat is relatively light at about 230 kg, making it easy to install, remove, and relocate. Additionally, it offers different values compared to steel, such as reducing glare and metallic noise, as well as CO2 fixation through wood. Moreover, the Hyper CLT Mat is registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism as a NETIS technology "TH-250021-A." It can also be utilized for proposals involving the use of new technologies and environmental considerations in public works. From construction to civil engineering, the new use of wood is expanding in the form of wooden lightweight mats.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can cause changes in the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even 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 or download the catalog.

We have newly added a **"Frequently Asked Questions Q&A"** section to the Hyper CLT sheet website. It clearly summarizes many questions frequently asked by those considering the introduction of the product, such as "What types of civil engineering sites can it be used on?", "Can it be used on rainy days?", "Is it compatible with large machinery?", and "What is NETIS?". The Hyper CLT sheet is a lightweight wooden sheet utilizing wood CLT, suitable for a wide range of applications including temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery work yards. It is also registered as a **Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS registered technology "TH-250021-A"**. Since it is a new material, we will not leave any uncertainties unaddressed. We aim to create a website that makes it easy to resolve questions before introduction, including information on wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, and we will continue to enhance the Q&A section.

We have added a new **"Glossary"** to the Hyper CLT sheet website. In the civil engineering and construction industries, there are many specialized terms such as "CLT," "NETIS," "temporary roads," and "wooden lightweight sheets." Therefore, we have introduced related terms in an easy-to-understand manner so that those who are encountering Hyper CLT sheets for the first time can understand the products and technologies. Hyper CLT sheets are wooden lightweight sheets for civil engineering that utilize wood CLT and are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS technology as **"TH-250021-A."** We hope that by not only conveying the features of the product but also sharing the underlying technologies and terminology, users will feel a closer connection to Hyper CLT sheets. We will continue to enhance our website and provide clear information related to wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT.
