◆◆【Catalog】The pencil scratch hardness tester catalog has been renewed! Yasuda Seiki Seisakusho◆◆

Electric scratch testing! We also have a type that can test with two pencils at once!

- This is a testing machine that can be operated electrically instead of manually turning the handle for pencil scratch hardness testing. - We also offer the M2 type, which allows testing with two pencils at once. - The hardness value is determined by scratching the coated surface at a 45° angle, using the hardest pencil that shows no signs of coating damage or scratches. - It is also used for evaluating the scratch hardness of decorative boards and the solvent resistance of enamel wires. <Reference Standards> JIS-(C3003), C3216-4, D0202, (K5400), K5600-5-4, K5651, K6894, K6902, ASTM-D2197, D3363, ISO-15184, IEC-60851-4 【About Catalog Download】 Please request the catalog from the related links below or by contacting us. *For products without a standalone catalog, please request the comprehensive catalog.

• Strength Testing Equipment

We will evaluate the pencil hardness of the coating film.

- This is a pencil scratch hardness tester used to evaluate the scratch hardness of coatings. - It is also used for the Clemens-type scratch hardness test of decorative boards and for evaluating the solvent resistance of enamel wires. - After attaching the specified pencil to the tester and balancing it, a specified weight is placed on it, and the handle is turned to scratch the coating at a 45° angle. - After the test, the indentation on the test piece is examined visually for evaluation, and the hardness value is determined by the density symbol of the hardest pencil that shows no signs of coating damage or scratches. <Reference Standards> JIS-(C3003), C3216-4, D0202, (K5400), K5600-5-4, K5651, K6894, K6902, ASTM-D2197, D3363, ISO-15184, IEC-60851-4 【About Catalog Download】 Please request the catalog from the related links below or by contacting us. *For products without individual catalogs, please request the comprehensive catalog.

• Other measurement, recording and measuring instruments

It is a testing device (handheld pencil scratch hardness tester) that easily measures the scratch hardness of coatings using the pencil method.

- A load of 750g is applied to the tip of a pencil mounted at a 45° angle to the coated surface. - The specified pencil is attached to the testing machine, and after the tip of the pencil is placed on the test specimen, it is pressed for at least 7mm at a speed of 0.5 to 1.0mm per second for testing. - After the test, the indentation on the test specimen is examined visually for evaluation. <Reference Standard> JIS-K5600-5-4 【Regarding Catalog Download】 Please request the catalog from the related links below or by contacting us. *For products without a standalone catalog, please request the comprehensive catalog.

JOHNAN has released a video that clearly explains the implementation technology for stretchable films, which are expected to be utilized in wearable devices and medical equipment. In the video, you can see how the film, which has excellent elasticity, stretches and contracts. Please check our high technological capabilities and the flexible characteristics that are useful for product development. We hope this will help you generate new ideas in product development. ▼You can watch the video here [Link to the implementation page for stretchable films] https://www.johnan.com/dms/mounting/filmdevic/stretchable/

"Because it's an invisible place, we won't overlook it." Japan's climate is characterized by high temperatures and humidity, and particularly after typhoons and heavy rains, the conditions can be harsh for homes. It's not just the roofs and exterior walls that are affected by rain and wind. The area beneath the floor is actually the most susceptible and often overlooked point. This time, we will explain the "checkpoints for under the floor" that should be confirmed after a typhoon or heavy rain, the "responses" if abnormalities are found, and measures for preventing recurrence. [Table of Contents] ■ Why is underfloor checking necessary? ■ Checkpoints to confirm after a typhoon or heavy rain ■ Responses when damage is discovered ■ Points for preventing recurrence ■ Suggestions from Seihou Products ■ Summary Please be sure to read the [related materials] and [related links]. ↓ ↓ ↓
