Research & Development Division exploits the know-how of the mine technology and conducts various technology development.
Technology of Inorganic Flocculant: Polytetsu™- Multifunctional iron salt flocculant used for water treatment of city sewage, human excrement and chemical plant.
Sintering technology of resin- Molding technology of resin powder into porous material with sintering, used for dust or product collecting and wastewater treatment.
Speciality paper which contains inorganic fine particle- This is a paper manufacture technology that mixes a large amount of fine particles. The product is used for an architectural field and the electronic material field.
Dry process classification to three products simultaneously- Easy to control of particle size distribution. This technology is used for classification of toner, plastics, plastic beads and solder.
Plasma Technology- It is eco-friendly technology to remove cigarettes gas including not only the smoke particle but also a gas ingredient / a smell. This technology is applicable to air cleaner, smoke removal machine and removal of NOx.
Thin Films-Coated Powder (TFCP), a powder each particle of which is coated with layers of Nano scale thin film.- The powder each particle of which is coated with layers of Nano scale thin film exhibits various properties and possibilities. TFCP exhibits excellent optical properties, anti-oxidation properties, acid resistance, heat resistance, electric resistance and so on.
Development of Functionalized Calcium Carbonate- We provide the technology to synthesize functionalized calcium carbonate powder of calcium carbonate and other fine particles combined on the carbonate. It is used for a paper manufacture, paints, resin, rubber, and plastic as functional pigment and fillers, etc.
Unique anisotropic microtubes can be prepared by combinations of MgTube™ and fine particles- Unique microtubular particles with anisotropic properties can be obtained by a combination of MgTube™ and other fine particles. The combined microtube can be applied as chemical additives, pigments for cosmetics and paints, and so on.
Advanced usage of SiliNax™ (silica balloon nanoparticle)- An addition of SiliNax™ with balloon structure to paint or resin can build up nano size air space. And this layer raises electrical insulation or heat insulation of paint or resin.
