"Medi-Air" Air-Cell Cushion
Medi-Air is a cushion that prevents pressure sores caused by prolonged usage of wheelchair. Air cells in the cushion automatically expand and raise the seat surface, decreasing pressure in the area of concentrated body weight and increasing the space of contact to distribute the pressure force equally.
Protective Coating forPlastic Products
This is a protective coating for the surface of the plastic part of mobile phones and game devices. We have achieved an optimum balance between scratch resistance and rigidity.
ECO FINLEX
These areenvironmentallyfriendlyhydraulic hosesused inforklifts, powershovels, andotherconstructionequipment. Since they are made ofchlorine-free materials, there is no dangerof dioxin emissions or other such problems.Japan-made construction equipment isstill high in demand in othercountries; the market for on-site hosereplacement should continue to expand.
Adhesives for Automobiles and Building Construction
Adhesives for Automobiles and Building ConstructionThese are used for headlamps, breaks, seats and other automobile components, also in rooftops, multi-panewindows, floors, and other parts of buildings. We are also proactively developing products that are easily recycled and free of solvents that may pollute the atmosphere, and also any suspected agents that may negatively affect human health.

Water Tank for Aircrafts
This is a tank to retain drinking water in aircraft. Because of its lightweight material, and due to being manufactured in a special process that hardens resin fibers, it helps to improve aircraft fuel efficiency.
Lavatory Module for B737
This is a washroom unit to be installed in aircraft. Being mainly focused on easy maintenance, LEDs with low electricity consumption and excellent durability are used as indirect lighting. By realizing its lightweight module, this contributes to the fuel efficiency of the entire aircraft.
Solar Panel Sealants
This is the adhesiveused to seal solar panelcomponents and toprevent moistureingress, which is acause in the decline ofphotovoltaic efficiency.
HAMA Highway Joints
They are typically installed at road seams on highways and bridges. The device can expand and contract and is designed to be durable under extremely demanding conditions such as heavy traffic and large vehicles. They also play a role in noise reduction.
