We introduced silver nano-ion antibacterial powder in the September issue of Monthly Plastics.

Quality control of surface modification using atmospheric pressure plasma devices with various options.

The "Air Plasma Series" is an atmospheric pressure plasma surface modification device that controls various plasma quality management options via a touch panel. With easy touch panel operation, you can change the plasma output (500W to 1000W) and set the minimum and maximum limits for the input air pressure, creating a stable operating environment. Since it allows for detailed processing condition distribution, it can be utilized in development and laboratories, expanding the possibilities of atmospheric pressure plasma. Additionally, it is equipped with an on-off delay function and a temperature sensor function, making it suitable for use on production lines. 【Features】 ■ Adopts various plasma quality management options ■ Easily change plasma output via touch panel ■ Equipped with on-off delay function and temperature sensor function ■ Optimized for production lines and research *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Antibacterial and antiviral effects from food films to rugs, coatings, and white goods!

The silver ion antibacterial powder NNX-TECH 1000 from Brazil's Nanox is a silica silver-based antibacterial additive that works well with halts, pigments, and antioxidant additives, making it suitable for use in plastics, synthetic fibers, elastomers, and engineering plastics. By using it in food films and plastic containers, freshness is maintained and shelf life is extended, which helps reduce food waste. Additionally, recent research has shown that fabrics treated with Nanox's antibacterial products can eliminate 99.9% of viruses. With the increasing demand for antibacterial and antiviral products now more than ever, the potential for product development using Nanox's antibacterial powder is expanding.

In public works, not only construction quality but also safety measures, environmental considerations, and unique site-specific innovations are important. One proposal that is easy to suggest is the civil engineering CLT "Hyper CLT Mats" utilizing wood. These can be used for temporary roads, access routes, worker pathways, and material yards, improving the site environment from a different perspective than steel plates. It is also characterized by the ease of explaining the purpose of implementation to clients, such as measures against summer heat reflection, noise reduction, CO2 fixation, and consideration for the landscape. Furthermore, being a **NETIS registered technology "TH-250021-A"** by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is a significant point when proposing in public works. It can be considered as one of the new technology applications and creative innovations. Clearly communicating "why this material is used" is also important when making proposals to government offices. The Hyper CLT Mats, which combine wood, NETIS, and civil engineering, are expanding their use in public works as a new civil engineering material that balances practicality and environmental consideration.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs often change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which constantly carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks 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.
