Our company has added new products "MRS-019" and "MRS-020BK" to the "MRS Coating" series, which exhibits excellent release properties for adhesives, resins, and adhesive tapes, intended for use in food contact applications. We propose these as a new option for environments where compliance with regulations and high release performance are both required for equipment and components that come into contact with food. The MRS Coating series offers a range of surface treatments that not only provide excellent non-stick properties but also feature solvent resistance and high hardness, which are not found in traditional silicone treatments. In food manufacturing processes that handle materials prone to sticking, such as rice, dough, and seasonings, it contributes to reducing adhesion issues, lowering cleaning burdens, and improving work efficiency. You can utilize this coating on metal components that come into contact with food, such as conveyor parts, hoppers, chutes, guides, plates, and components of filling and molding equipment.

We are pleased to announce that our company has expanded its high-performance coating series compliant with the Food Sanitation Act (Positive List System). This surface treatment technology, which is suitable for applications that come into direct contact with food, combines multiple functions such as slip resistance, non-stick properties, release properties, heat resistance, and static prevention, thereby supporting the efficiency of food manufacturing and processing equipment. In particular, this product is ideal for companies facing the following challenges: - Reducing line stoppages caused by food sticking or adhering - Improving productivity by re-evaluating frequent cleaning tasks - Ensuring compliance with the Food Sanitation Act (Positive List) for equipment Additionally, we offer the "FFLC Series," which is free of PFAS, making it a suitable option for those seeking environmentally friendly products. Today, we have also started the download of our catalog. We will propose the optimal specifications tailored to your manufacturing processes and usage conditions, so please feel free to contact us.

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.

The newly developed "FFLC series" is a high-performance lubrication coating that is non-fluorinated. This coating provides excellent lubrication performance comparable to fluoropolymer coatings without using PFAS. One of its major features is the improved friction and wear durability, especially in high-temperature environments (200°C - 250°C). For more details, please download the materials or visit the product site and related sites.

The GLC series is a "low-friction coating for rubber" that imparts low friction (slipperiness) to rubber materials with grip. By applying the coating, the friction coefficient of the rubber is significantly reduced. This is because it forms a slippery film on the surface of the rubber, which reduces the friction between the rubber and other objects. The reduction in friction coefficient improves slipperiness, allowing rubber products to move smoothly and function as expected. *For more details, please download the materials and check.

Yoshida SKT has announced the "Low Friction Coating for Rubber" GLC series, which imparts low friction (slipperiness) to rubber materials with grip properties. 【Features of the GLC Series】 - The surface of the rubber material is treated with fluorine, silicone, and inorganic coatings. - It reduces friction on the rubber surface. Depending on the product number, water repellency and non-stick properties can also be expected. - It is a low-temperature coating that can be applied to rubber with low heat resistance. - It has a high degree of adherence that makes it difficult to peel off, even on flexible rubber. *For more details, please download the materials and check.

At Yoshida SKT, we are currently offering a reference document titled "What are the Differences Between PTFE and PFA?" which allows you to compare the characteristics of PFA, which has a continuous use temperature equivalent to that of PTFE, the most widely produced fluoropolymer. The document includes fundamental knowledge such as molecular structure and thermal properties, as well as guidance on how to differentiate their uses in coatings. Additionally, it provides explanations about the features of FEP and ETFE. This technical document allows you to learn in detail about the differences among four types of fluoropolymers in one book. We encourage you to download it and check it out during this opportunity.

Corrosion prevention is a method to prevent corrosion. Metal corrosion refers to a state in which the appearance and function of an object are compromised due to chemical and biological actions. Iron is generally cited as a metal material that is prone to corrosion. These metals can undergo rust and corrosion due to factors that cause corrosion, such as oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, and water vapor in the atmosphere, along with the inherent properties of the metal, impurities, and electrochemical reactions. *Please check the product page for coatings and linings suitable for corrosion prevention.*

Plastic is lightweight and easy to mold, making it suitable for various equipment parts. On the other hand, unlike metals, it is weak against heat, and the methods for processing involving heating are limited. Surface treatment of plastic helps improve surface characteristics. For more details, please check the product page.

Aluminum is used in many applications as packaging machines and transport components because it is lightweight and easy to process. We would like to introduce a surface treatment that addresses challenges that could not be resolved even with anodizing or fluororesin processing.

If you use a household frying pan for a long time, the fluoropolymer coating may peel off or wear down, leading to sticking issues. The fluoropolymer coating can be removed and reprocessed. However, household frying pans are not designed with reprocessing in mind, which can lead to both advantages and disadvantages. For more details, please check the product page.

Fluororesin coatings can experience wear and peeling depending on the application, environment, and conditions. In such cases, it is possible to strip the coating and reprocess it. Reprocessing places a greater burden on the substrate compared to the initial processing, so consultation is necessary depending on the application. Please check it out.

In mold forming, measures for ejector pins are also important to stabilize product quality. This content introduces methods to reduce the release resistance of ejector pins and surface treatments to improve release properties. Please take a look.

In mold forming, to stabilize product quality, it is important to improve release properties and prevent mold contamination. Measures such as PVD coating, DLC coating, and chrome plating have been implemented, but depending on the molding conditions, issues can arise where parts of the product stick, or resin residue can cause product defects. We would like to introduce coatings that have a proven track record of improving mold release properties. Please take a look.

Mold release residue refers to foreign substances that adhere to the surface of molded products when thermoplastic materials such as resin or rubber are molded. To prevent residue, it is necessary to prevent material retention in the mold. When appropriate material selection and molding conditions do not resolve the issue of residue, adopting surface treatments with excellent release properties is effective. We will introduce examples of residue improvement through surface treatment. Please take a look.
