「Expectations for the superhydrophobic technology extended beyond aircraft, and during the fiscal year it was adopted for the first time in a weather radar dome.」
The superhydrophobic technology established through research into ice-prevention coatings with JAXA was adopted for the first time outside the aircraft sector in a weather radar dome. - FY2022AdvancedAnnual report
「In the coatings-related development field, the Company worked on product development focused on environmentally responsive coatings that consider the global environment and safety, coatings that contribute to energy savings, and shortening work processes during application.」
The Company continued its work on environmental performance, energy savings and shorter production processes, and described the first adoption of superhydrophobic coatings for architectural and other applications, the addition of a new application method for water-based rigid polyurethane, and the launch and adoption of traffic safety products. - FY2021AdvancedAnnual report
「The Company also launched “プルーフロンエコHG,” a new product meeting demand for shorter production processes. The waterproofing method using this product delivers performance equal to or better than that obtained by applying reinforcing fabric, including crack-following performance, allowing the reinforcing-fabric application process used in conventional methods to be eliminated. The product has received favorable market evaluations.」
The disclosure described the launch of a product designed to shorten production processes, in addition to the transition to MOCA-free products, and noted that it had received favorable market evaluations. - FY2020AdvancedAnnual report
「In the waterproofing materials field, the Company promoted the transition from existing products by developing products that are not subject to the Specified Chemical Substances Ordinance (MOCA-free) in response to demand for compliance with environmental regulations. More recently, it developed “プルーフロンエコHG,” which meets market demand for reduced production processes.」
In addition to the transition to MOCA-free products, the Company advanced the development and market rollout of “プルーフロンエコHG,” which reduces production processes, and water-based products. - FY2019AdvancedAnnual report
「The Company is also expanding the transition to products that are not subject to the Specified Chemical Substances Ordinance (MOCA-free) in other fields. During the current fiscal year, it began selling “イソシールAC ZERO,” a product that is not subject to the Specified Chemical Substances Ordinance (MOCA-free), for asphalt and concrete cracks in the civil engineering field.」
The Company expanded the transition to MOCA-free products into other fields and began selling “イソシールAC ZERO.” The disclosure also stated that the transition of 4 lead-containing products to lead-free products had been completed. - FY2018AdvancedAnnual report
「As a result, the Company developed a superhydrophobic coating capable of withstanding the severe conditions of aircraft operations and established a system with excellent ice-prevention performance.」
In addition to its policy of developing environmentally responsive and energy-saving products, the Company described the establishment of an ice-prevention system through joint research with JAXA, as well as the development of MOCA-free and water-based products, as specific results. - FY2017AdvancedAnnual report
「In the field of floor coatings, the Company launched two water-based products, “ユータックコンプリートG薄膜” and “水性ユータックFT,” which address market demand for environmental performance, as well as “ユータックTMプロテクト,” a protective clear coat designed to prevent tire marks.」
The Company launched two water-based floor coating products and a protective clear coat addressing environmental performance, thereby putting product development into practice. The disclosure also noted that a heat-insulating coating had been added to the energy-saving and heat-insulating coatings series. - FY2016First statedAnnual report
「In the coatings-related development field, the Company worked on product development focused on environmentally responsive coatings that consider the global environment and safety, coatings that contribute to energy savings, and shortening production processes.」
Environmental performance, energy savings and shorter production processes were identified as key research and development themes.
