"New Product!" Improved Flexibility: Development of a New Grade of Water-Based Polyimide Varnish (SC-2002) A new grade of water-based polyimide with improved flexibility has been developed! It maintains the same performance as before while enhancing adhesion to various substrates and allowing for coating with a thicker film than before!

Newly developed grade of flexible water-soluble polyimide! It maintains the conventional performance while improving adhesion to various substrates and enabling coating with a film pressure greater than before.

Our company utilizes polyamic acid generated from polyimide film that becomes unnecessary during polyimide film processing, through a unique chemical treatment, to create an "NMP completely free aqueous solution." This product forms a polyimide resin coating with an imidization rate of over 90% after being applied to a substrate and dried and cured. We are pleased to introduce a new grade of water-based polyimide varnish with improved flexibility. Compared to conventional products, it exhibits better adhesion to various substrates and is less prone to cracking. This document presents the coating properties of the new grade product.

Completely NMP-free! A water-based polyimide varnish with excellent handling properties, high heat resistance, and chemical resistance, featuring low viscosity. Documentation is available, and free samples are being provided!

Polyimide varnish has characteristics of high heat resistance and chemical resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of fields and applications, including high-temperature sliding parts and related components for automobiles and aircraft, heat-resistant coatings, special adhesives, and wire insulation. It is a resin that will continue to be used by leveraging these features in the future. However, the current mainstream products are "NMP solution" or "a mixed solution of NMP and water." *NMP = N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone In recent years, "NMP" has raised concerns about its "toxicity," and it has been listed as a restricted substance under the "REACH regulations" in Europe, and it is expected to have an impact in Japan as well. NMP-free water-based polyimide varnish can contribute to "avoiding the use restrictions of NMP" and "reducing VOCs for environmental improvement." This product is expected to further enhance performance and reduce environmental impact in fields requiring high heat resistance and chemical resistance. It has excellent handling properties due to its stability at room temperature and low viscosity, comparable to general functional coatings. It is also believed to enable applications in processing methods that traditional polyimide varnishes could not be applied to. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Event Date: October 7 (Wednesday) to October 9 (Friday), 2026 Time: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Venue: Intex Osaka Our company will be exhibiting at the 29th Monozukuri World Design and Manufacturing Solutions Exhibition, which will be held at Intex Osaka from October 7 (Wednesday) to October 9 (Friday), 2026. At the venue, we will showcase the upgraded "ReMacs Hybrid," as well as the eagerly awaited production management system for the precast concrete industry, "ReMacs TypePca," which will be unveiled for the first time following its release at the end of May! We will also display various solutions, including the newly equipped "AI Drawing Search System" with OCR functionality! We sincerely look forward to your visit.

In civil engineering sites, it is important to clearly communicate not only safety and workability but also "what kind of initiatives the site is undertaking." Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering mats that utilize wood CLT. They look significantly different from conventional steel plates, so when laid at site entrances, viewing routes, or material yards, they create a strong visual impact. In particular, during inspections by clients, site tours, and public open days for local residents, the use of wood, environmental considerations, and the application of new technologies can be conveyed in a "visible form." Additionally, they are lightweight and easy to install and remove, and they offer practical benefits such as reducing glare and metal noise, as well as CO2 fixation. Hyper CLT mats are registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS as "TH-250021-A." They combine wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, making them a new temporary material that can impressively convey the initiatives of the site.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily understandable at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

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" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.
