In this white paper, Daikin aims to describe the process by which the idea of the "Goodness of Feel" property was developed and how it can be correlated to other simple surface properties. By understanding the details of this story those familiar with hydrophobic coating technology can take advantage of this concept and utilize it to enhance the downstream value provided by their own products.

Daikin has created a new fluorocoating, OPTOOL UD120, based on our proprietary PFPE technology with significantly increased UV resistance while maintaining water/oil repellency and abrasion resistance properties. This advanced technology is well suited for automotive applications such as camera lenses, LIDAR modules, touch displays and windows.

We assume that in order to discuss the possibility of residence of nano-sized particles on the inner surface of PFA tubes for semiconductor manufacturing equipment, the method for measuring the surface roughness inside the tubes must be newly invented. This report makes a proposal for a method to measure surface roughness at the nano-level and demonstrate the necessity for this measurement.

Daikin's new developed "Fluoropolymer / carbon fiber composite" is a type of CFRTP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermo Plastic) with excellent chemical resistance.
It is also expected to be used in various applications that require structural strength, light weight, impact resistance,  water and oil repellency, slidability, and heat resistance.

Daikin’s latest refrigerant with low environmental impacts is designed for automotive HVAC applications. It delivers increased cooling and heating capacity with superior efficiency. In particular it excels in delivering strong heating performance for an electric vehicle passenger cabin, where the exhaust heat from the combustion engine is not available, and the use of resistance heaters limits the vehicle’s range.

Daikin prioritizes being accessible to their clients, and to bring the best possible technical assistance. Daikin’s global presence includes an open innovation facility in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Fluoro sealant is a sealing material with excellent chemical resistance and moisture resistance. It is solvent-free, environmentally friendly, and can be applied to various application methods. It can be expected to be various applications such as important sealing material for sensors.
