Core Technology・Equipment Introduction

Film-forming

This is a technology in which various resins are melted in an extruder and extruded from a die, and the extruded resin is cooled to produce a film.

Schematic diagram of Inflation

Inflation

Extruding molten resin in a form of tube from circular die and blowing air into tube, then inflating the film such as balloon and finally winding it while pulling by rollers and cooling.

T-die Casting

Film-forming technology of supplying melting resin to T shaped die and discharging from air gap of lip after resin spreads to both edges of die in manifold, then cooling film by cooled roll and winding the film.

Equipment・Method feature
  • Inflation
  • T-die Casting
  • Selection of the most suitable film forming process according to the characteristics of raw materials.
  • We can consider everything from small-scale prototyping to mass production support.
  • Single screw extruder (single ,multi-layer)
  • Twin screw extruder (single ,multi-layer)

Stretching

Stretching is a technology inwhich heated films arestretched vertically andhorizontally to align molecules, modify thephysical properties of thefilms, and add new functions.

Schematic diagram of Vertical Stretching

Vertical Stretching

Stretching a film vertically by using slow and fast rotating roll

Schematic diagram of Horizontal Stretching

Horizontal Stretching

Stretching a film horizontally while edging the films

Equipment・Method feature
  • Vertical Stretching
  • Horizontal Stretching
  • Tubular Stretching
  • Sequential Biaxial Stretching
Adding improvement and transparency of strength, barrier properties,chemical resistance, heat-shrinkable, and orientation.

Coating

This technology provides optical and physical functions by applying a solution prepared with coating materials to the surface of a film with high precision, drying and curing.

Schematic diagram of Die

Die

This is a coating method in which the coating agent is pushed out of the die and coated onto the film.

Schematic diagram of Reversed-Gravure

Reversed-Gravure

In this method, the gravure roll is rotated in the opposite direction to that of the substrate, the rotating gravure roll scrapes up the coating agent, the doctor blade scrapes off excess coating agent, and the coating agent is coated onto the film.

Equipment・Method feature
  • Die Coating
  • Reversed-Gravure Coating
  • Spray Coating
Available to combine various properties such as properties of HC films, wet-coated transparent film, transparent and heat resistant film, AR film, etc.

Printing

This technology transfers ink onto the surface of a film by gravure or flexographic printing.

Schematic diagram of Gravure Printing

Gravure Printing

Ink is supplied to the 凹block, excess ink is scraped off with a doctor blade, and pressure is applied from the film side to transfer the ink in the concave to the film and dry it.

Schematic diagram of Flexo Printing

Flexo Printing

A method in which ink is supplied to the 凸 block and pressure is applied from the film side to transfer and dry the ink on the 凸 to the film.

Equipment・Method feature
  • 10 colors gravure printing
  • 10 colors flexo printing
Possible for continuous printing and high-precision pitch control to the both side of substrate.

Lamination

This is a technology to develop multi-layer films with composite performance by laminating films with different laminating functions using adhesives and molten resins.
