Cleaning time for round blades reduced from 50 minutes to 1 minute! Non-stick coating for cutting tools.
NonStick STC
"Dramatically reduce maintenance labor" with a "super-thin film" non-stick coating that does not compromise sharpness. Prevents adhesive bonding and halves the downtime for cleaning and blade replacement!
In the cutting process of laminated boards such as resin sheets, a major challenge is the "adhesion of adhesive to the circular blade and the cleaning work." Due to continuous cutting, the highly adhesive adhesive between the sheets accumulates on the blade edge, necessitating manual cleaning that takes about 50 minutes and requires solvents each time. Additionally, line stoppages due to blade changes have been a major cause of reduced equipment operating rates. The solution to this problem is the ultra-thin, non-stick coating "NonStick STC," which does not compromise the sharp shape of the blades. **Main Achievements from Implementation** - Cleaning time reduced from "50 minutes" to "1 minute." Stuck adhesive can now be easily removed, significantly reducing maintenance burdens. - Operating period extended by more than twice. The replacement cycle, which was traditionally 500-600 cuts, has improved to over 1,000 cuts, halving the frequency of replacements. - Minimization of line stoppage time. By reducing the hassle of changing and cleaning the circular blades, it contributes to improved equipment operating rates. This surface treatment technology simultaneously reduces the burden on operators and enhances overall factory productivity.

basic information
【Product Name】 Ultra-Thin Film Non-Stick Coating "NonStick STC" 【Main Technical Features】 ■ "Ultra-Thin Film" with a thickness of less than 1µm Unlike conventional fluororesins (tens of µm thick), it does not round the blade edge, allowing for application without compromising blade angle or sharpness. ■ Non-Stick Properties that Surpass Fluororesins It has an extremely low surface energy, repelling strong adhesives and glue components, preventing adhesion and accumulation. ■ Reduction of Cleaning Solvents By preventing adhesion, there is no need for vigorous cleaning with strong solvents, contributing to improved safety and reduced labor. 【Processing Support】 We offer contract processing for precision parts where dimensional changes need to be avoided, such as round blades, various cutter blades, precision molds, guide rolls, and transport jigs. We will propose the optimal coating based on your workpieces and operating conditions.

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.
