◆Yoshida SKT Co., Ltd.◆ NEW "Surface Treatment Technology: What is the Difference Between 'Silicon' and 'Silicone'?" has been released.

Silicone," which excels in non-stick and release properties. We will introduce the differences from the easily confused "silicon" and "silicone coating.

■Differences Between Silicon and Silicone Silicon (Silicon) and silicone (Silicone) are completely different substances, but they are often confused in writing. "Silicon" refers to the element with atomic number 14, silicon (Si), which is used as a material for semiconductors and solar cells. On the other hand, "silicone" refers to synthetic resins such as "silicone resin" or "silicon resin." Silicone is a synthetic polymer with a basic structure of siloxane bonds, combined with organic groups, and is used in various forms such as oils and rubbers. ■Silicone with Excellent Non-Stick and Release Properties Silicone has characteristics such as low surface tension, excellent water repellency, high heat resistance, and chemical stability. Additionally, silicone is used as a release agent, demonstrating excellent release properties by virtue of its low surface tension and its ability to transfer to the material it interacts with. ■Silicone Coating While silicone release agents exhibit excellent release properties, they may sometimes have challenges with durability. Some silicone coatings achieve a balance between excellent release properties and durability, aiding in the improvement of production equipment and processes. ▼For more information on the innovative silicone coating 'MRS Coating,' click here!

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 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.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create 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 variations in dimensions, can be molded at the same time in a single molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

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.

The "HA-T Series" is an energy-saving automatic door sensor that opens only for those who wish to enter, whether on a busy street or in a narrow passageway. The automatic door opens simply by bringing your hand close, addressing hygiene concerns even in facilities used by a large number of people. You can choose between "Non-vision Mount Type/HA-T401" and "Non-vision Built-in Type/HA-T520" depending on the application and installation location. 【Recommended for such places!】 ☑ Entrance facing a busy corridor ☑ Presence of counters or signs near the door ☑ Buildings facing narrow passages ☑ Buildings that prioritize aesthetics ☑ Hospitals and facilities that consider hygiene ☑ Large facilities with many doors 【Features】 ● Adaptable to various door types with four detection spot settings ● Reduces unnecessary opening and closing, contributing to energy-saving by minimizing wasteful power consumption ● Equipped with a light touch function, allowing the door to open and close just by waving your hand, ensuring hygiene ● Can also be used as a wide detection range non-vision infrared sensor ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

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.
