HMX10, a high transparency and high UV resistant polymer, is a new fluoropolymer designed from monomer using our company's proprietary fluorochemical technology. HMX10 features high transparency, excellent ultraviolet resistance, and low dielectric properties which are prominent among fluoropolymers.

The advent of 5G is expected to greatly improve the convenience of our communications. Daikin’s fluoromaterials and technologies are gaining attention as a way to realize and popularize the 5G concept of high-speed, high-capacity, low-latency, and simultaneous multi-connections.

The market trends and development movements of battery materials are featured by Takanori Suzuki, who has been engaged in the development of lithium-ion battery materials for many years and is currently a consultant for battery materials at Suzuki Material Technology and Consulting Co., Ltd. The theme of the second column of the series is “Binder for lithium-ion batteries.”

Daikin has developed a fluoropolymer PFA which is suitable for additive manufacturing, powder bed fusion method (PBF method). The fluoropolymer PFA, which is excellent in chemical and heat resistance and weatherability, is expected to be developed into semiconductors, medical applications, etc.

Fluoro Sealant is a chemical resistant coating and sealing material, as well as an excellent water vapor barrier.  A fully cured Fluoro Sealant functional film not only is an effective water vapor barrier with excellent chemical resistance, but also is capable of withstanding high voltages.

The UNIDYNE Technical Center is a company based laboratory that supports technology for UNIDYNE water and oil repellents. It was established as a technical base in China, the world’s largest market for water and oil repellents used in textiles, paper, and non-woven fabrics, to accurately assess market needs and quickly respond to market needs with new product development.

Fluoroelastomers are increasingly expected to be applied to automotive interiors as a material that responds to changes in needs of the automotive market.

At the SEMI 2021 conference, Mr.Hiroyuki Hamada, Senior scientist, Product R&D development dep., Chemicals div., Daikin Industries, Ltd., gave a lecture on the challenges of advanced pollutant management in the production process of semiconductor device manufacturing equipment from the perspective of materials science.

The new transparent piezoelectric film developed by Daikin features a unique property called ferroelectricity that converts force, strain, temperature change, and electrical energy in both directions. Additionally, because of its excellent transparency and flexibility, it is expected to become a key material for pressure-sensitive touch panels and wearable devices.

OPTOOL is designed to bond to surface and can act as an anti-smudge coating mitigating the transfer of fingerprints to the modified surface.

In this webinar, Daikin technical expert is going to introduce the OPTOOL family, explain the properties, performance evaluation and application methods of OPTOOL.

Since high-performance materials for additive manufacturing have been developed, Daikin is developing powders for the powder bed fusion method, one of the additive manufacturing method, using fluoropolymers, a type of super engineering plastics, as raw materials. This article presents PFA powder, suitable for this method, and the physical properties of molds.

With the increasing demand for more infection control, the disinfectant and sterilization of medical devices is becoming more powerful, and the degradation of materials used in medical devices is becoming more serious.
To solve this problem, we offer durable coating materials ZEFFLE MZ that are resistant to various disinfectants and sterilants.

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.
