Solution Summary

  • Nippon Shokubai offers a wide range of particle sizes, from nano to micron size, using its unique synthesis technology.

  • Inorganic particles, organic-inorganic composite particles, and organic particles can be selected according to the purpose.

  • Nippon Shokubai 's special website has an explanatory page called "What are anti-blocking agents?" where you can learn the basics of blocking. You can also download materials that explain the lineup of anti-blocking agents.

  • SEAHOSTAR™ is a monodisperse silica particle with a spherical shape and a sharp particle size distribution. An industrial film that combines anti-blocking properties and high smoothness has been completed.

I found a useful guideline on the Nippon Shokubai website! I found a fine particle that combines anti-blocking properties and high smoothness.

M-san consulted with a senior from another group about his current situation. The senior said, "By the way, I recently found an interesting website. I'll share it with you," and gave him the URL of the website.

I quickly accessed the website using the URL my senior had given me and found myself on Nippon Shokubai 's microparticle website, which had easy-to-understand information starting with the basics, such as "what is blocking?"

"I thought I had a general idea of what blocking was, but choosing an anti-blocking agent is a complex process. It was very helpful because it explained what you should pay attention to and what physical properties you should pay attention to."

I immediately downloaded the product information and confirmed that Nippon Shokubai 's microparticle product had the specifications I was looking for, so I contacted Nippon Shokubai to discuss the project and exchange samples.

The consultation with the sales representative went very smoothly. We were introduced to SEAHOSTAR KE series, a monodisperse silica particle from Nippon Shokubai 's particle product lineup. It boasts a perfectly spherical shape with a sharp particle size distribution, and is characterized by its high purity with few impurities and the absence of coarse particles or aggregates.

Mr. M was provided with samples of different particle sizes and immediately began prototype evaluation. The results were excellent and matched the company's film production process. After several reviews of the conditions, an industrial film that combines anti-blocking properties with a high level of smoothness was completed. It was also highly praised by customers.
