Naphtha prices began to decline after peaking in the April to June period, but the paint price index in September was 27 percent higher than the previous year. Here’s an explanation of the reasons.
Although I hear that crude oil and raw materials have decreased, the prices of paint remain high. Estimates for painting are also not returning to previous levels. 【What is happening now】 The benchmark price for domestic naphtha reached a record high of 118,900 yen per kiloliter for the April to June period. It is expected to decrease to 104,800 yen for the July to September period and 95,900 yen for the October to December period. Nevertheless, the price index for paint in September is 26.8 percent higher compared to the same month last year. 【Why it doesn't decrease】 □ Raw material prices are reflected in product prices with a delay of several months. □ Once the shipping price of paint rises, it tends to be difficult to return to previous levels quickly. 【Things to confirm before placing an order】 1. The validity period of the estimate and the conditions for reviewing the price. 2. Request a separate estimate for paint costs and processing fees. 【Free materials】 We have compiled a comprehensive system from pre-treatment to painting in the related catalog "Eiwa Kogei Consistency Catalog." It can be downloaded for free from this page.

Company information
We are not just a "subcontracted painting factory." Established in 1958, our company has a foundation of painting technology and also specializes in chemical treatment, stripping, and cleaning, functioning as the "external surface treatment department" in your organizational chart. Based on our philosophy of "preparation is eight-tenths of the work," we emphasize participation from the "upstream process" before the drawings are finalized. We conduct test painting on a wide range of metals and difficult materials, and we produce the entire process from assembly, packaging, to delivery, thereby reducing your management workload. Additionally, by being able to perform zinc phosphate treatment in-house, we achieve stable painting quality. Furthermore, our micro-heating stripping technology, which does not use chemicals, maintains the electrical state of the "jigs (hangers)" that influence painting quality. Our approach of "pre-treatment determines painting quality" ensures the stability of the paint film during mass production. Rather than simply "applying specified standards," we work backwards to achieve optimal painting specifications and prevent scratches during transportation, sparing no effort in thorough discussions from the outset. This diligent preparation is the shortest path to preventing rework and minimizing total costs. From the development stage, please utilize the expertise of our specialists as part of your production line.
