◆Yoshida SKT Co., Ltd.◆ Introducing the newly developed "CAS Coating" that balances release properties and durability.
We have developed a new coating technology called "CAS (Ceramic Alloy Coating)" to solve issues frequently occurring in manufacturing sites, such as "adhesion of sticky substances" and "poor mold release." CAS achieves overwhelming release performance and durability by combining a unique convex surface formed from ceramic-based materials with high-release materials. It enables smooth mold release, which was difficult to achieve with conventional thermal spraying techniques or sandblasting for roughening surfaces. For more details, please check the related links.
