[Interview] Introducing a researcher from Cosmetics Lab!

From Israel! Enzyme-derived Levan from sugarcane [*Evaluation data confirming the effects on skin resident bacteria and the promotion of skin proliferation speed can be provided based on human skin.]

■□■ Natural Polysaccharide Moisturizing Ingredient 'PoLevanS' ■□■ PoLevanS, a natural polysaccharide uniquely developed by Gan Shmuel in Israel, is produced using an enzymatic method and contains 30-35% levans, compared to the 1-2% levans produced by fermentation methods. 【Regarding Evaluation Data】 1. In aging care (skin moisture) evaluation experiments using human skin, it was confirmed that "the epidermal proliferation rate is promoted." ● Aging care (skin moisture) evaluation 2. In the ECM (extracellular matrix) reconstruction evaluation, it was confirmed that the higher the levans content, the greater the effect on the increase of procollagen 1. ● ECM (extracellular matrix) reconstruction evaluation 3. The minimum inhibitory concentration measurements for Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, etc., confirmed that there is no adverse effect on skin resident bacteria. ● Viable bacteria (skin resident bacteria) and antibacterial evaluation * This has been experimentally verified using human skin, not mice, at the testing laboratory of Dead Sea & Arava. * If you would like a sample, please contact us. * For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

Harmful to the human body! It has very low skin irritation, and has been widely adopted not only in cosmetics but also in the base materials for topical medications and various pharmaceutical products.

Our company acts as an importer and distributor for Sonneborn, a leading global supplier of liquid paraffin with a history spanning 100 years. Liquid paraffin, also known as mineral oil, is an odorless and colorless transparent oil obtained through the high distillation and refining of petroleum. It is chemically stable, non-volatile, and non-water-soluble at room temperature, does not oxidize under normal usage conditions, and does not discolor over time. Biologically, it is stable, preventing the growth of bacteria that cause skin diseases, and it possesses excellent hygienic characteristics, making it harmless to the human body. In addition to its safety and stable physical properties, it is easy to formulate with other materials, which has led to its widespread use not only in cosmetics but also in various pharmaceutical products such as transdermal drug delivery systems and quasi-drugs. [Applications] Baby oil / Sunscreen lotion / Moisturizing cream / Hand cream / Hair care and eye makeup products / Lipstick / Makeup remover / Ointments *For more details, please refer to our catalog or feel free to contact us.

In a civil engineering site material yard, not only is material storage conducted, but also the frequent movement of trucks and heavy machinery, unloading, and the movement of workers. On unpaved ground, mud and ruts can occur due to rain, which may reduce work efficiency. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering CLT materials that utilize wood CLT. By laying them in material yards or storage areas, a work space that facilitates the movement of vehicles and heavy machinery can be established while protecting the ground. They can be laid only in necessary locations, and relocation or repurposing in accordance with construction progress is also possible. The 5×10 panel weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panel weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery. After use, they can also be utilized as temporary roads, access routes, or heavy machinery work yards. Additionally, they offer unique benefits of wood, such as glare reduction, noise suppression, and CO2 fixation. As a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," these wooden mats can also be used for environmental improvement in material yards and innovative public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without the application of 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.
