RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Anti-fog and anti-Reflection technology for face shields

We have imparted anti-fog and anti-Reflection functionality to face shields, whose demand has been growing in the COVID-19 turmoil, by applying interior paint technology for automobiles. The technology contributes to reducing users’ stress.

Technology to design serum (plasma) separator gel

Our separator gel technology, which enables stable and easy collection of the serum component required for blood tests, contributes significantly to the medical field around the world.

Anti-viral technology using visible light responsive photocatalyst

We have applied photocatalyst functionality to suppress the virus activity to paints. The use of such paints for architectural interiors achieves a safe and reliable living environment.

Technology to exhibit special viscoelasticity by controlling the urea reaction

We offer more flexible and durable urea resin coating films. We contribute to saving labor and manpower by extending the service life of industrial products.

Magneto-rheological fluid (MR fluid)

This technology can change the viscosity of a fluid by means of magnetic force. It is expected to be applied to the field of machine control, such as robots.

A paint which hardly spatters during painting using a paint roller

We have developed a paint focused on easy painting. A technology to prevent spattering of paints also helps reduce the environmental impact.

Environmentally friendly technology to prevent concrete spalling

We have succeeded in using only water-based materials for the process to prevent spalling of concrete structures by applying coating films. The use of water-based materials reduces the risk of fire and generation of hazardous chemicals during work.

Infrared reflecting clear thermal insulation paint

A visible light transmittance film that reflects infrared rays can be formed only by applying the paint. Applying the paint on a window glass helps cut the power consumption of air conditioners while ensuring indoor comfort. The paint has been used as an energy conservation technology.

Technology for reusing heat by using a chemical heat storage material

We have developed a material that stores heat by using a chemical technology without using complicated equipment. The technology makes it possible to use heat energy efficiently.

Highly functional hydrophilization/hydrophilic water sliding technology

Highly functional hydrophilization film contributes to various purposes, such as reducing the energy consumption of air conditioners and ensuring a comfortable usage environment. Recently, we have also developed a hydrophilic water sliding technology characterized by good drainage performance.

Environmentally friendly next-generation chemical conversion treatment agent

This is an environmentally friendly pre-coating treatment agent for auto bodies that helps reduce hazardous substances and industrial waste and significantly reduces water consumption.

Environmentally friendly anti-fouling technology for ship bottoms

The nanodomain control technology for the coating film surface significantly reduces the fuel consumption of vessels and contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
