An improvement case of transport fixtures using PEEK coating that reduced the defect rate to one-sixth of the conventional level.
In metal printing processes, there are cases where the transport jig used during transfer to the drying oven comes into contact with the printed metal plates, resulting in scratches on the surface and leading to defective products. This is particularly impactful for high-design products, where even minor scratches can significantly affect quality and contribute to reduced yield. Traditionally, measures such as applying varnish or attaching fluororesin tubes have been implemented, but challenges such as increased maintenance labor and the emergence of new printing defects have arisen. PEEKCOAT forms a high-hardness and smooth resin layer on the surface of the transport jig, reducing damage during contact and providing excellent wear resistance, allowing for long-term stable operation. Its implementation has reduced the defect rate to about 1/6 of the previous level, achieving cost savings in the tens of millions of yen annually. If you are considering measures for scratch prevention and yield improvement in the transport process, we can propose optimal specifications tailored to the target parts and usage conditions. We also offer technical consultations and prototype testing, so please feel free to contact us.

basic information
PEEKCOAT is a coating that utilizes the high mechanical strength, wear resistance, chemical resistance, and heat resistance of PEEK resin. By applying it to metal jigs and transport components, it achieves damage reduction from contact and extends lifespan. It can be applied primarily to aluminum, iron, and stainless steel, and is designed to accommodate optimal film thickness and specifications according to the usage environment. It is a surface treatment technology suitable for processes that require high durability.

Company information
Nikken Coating Industry Co., Ltd. has been a specialized manufacturer of functional coatings for contract processing, earning the trust of customers across various industries for 79 years since its founding. We leverage our processing technology to maximize the properties of fluororesins, such as non-stick, lubricity, and chemical resistance, providing high-performance coatings that directly address customer challenges, including "Thermo Pro Release" for thermal welding processes and "NonStick STC" for blades and precision molds. In recent years, in response to movements regarding regulations on fluorinated compounds (PFAS), "PEEK resin," which is gaining attention as a substitute for fluororesins, has become a focus. Nikken Coating Industry commercialized the world's first PEEK resin coating, "PEEKCOAT," in 1999. Based on the solid knowledge and know-how accumulated over more than 20 years, we are further intensifying our research and development efforts to explore the potential of next-generation PEEK coatings! We aim to be recognized as "the go-to for PEEK coatings" and will continue to lead the way. As "the best partner for functional coatings that builds trust through technology," Nikken Coating Industry will continue to contribute to the creation of high-quality, high-performance products.
