INUI Co., Ltd.

We manufacture coating materials which improve the heat-resistance of non-finite form refractories.

We manufacture ceramic fibers and coating agents which improve the heat-resistance of finite/non-finite form refractories for refractory manufacturers. The application of a coating on ceramic fiber blocks and boards restrains the shrinkage rate when heated to high temperature, and allows construction in hard-to-build locations. Our coating agent has excellent characteristics in heat-resistance, workability, dispersion and permeability. We excel at manufacturing low-viscosity agents. We deliver our products to domestic steel manufacturers and to some Asian countries. From now on, we would like to target the high growth markets such as China and India, with a strong demand for refractories where the needs to restrict lighting and heating expenses are significant.

[Company strength]
Our coating agent has excellent characteristics in heat-resistance, workability, dispersion and permeability. We are especially good at manufacturing low-viscosity agents (5Pa-s or less). This agent can be coated on biosoluble fiber which has been adopted as a substitute, as well as on conventional ceramic fibers. We can also respond to quick delivery and small-lot (1 kg) delivery. We have the advantage in low-viscosity dispersion technology for powder materials. As well as existing products, we can manufacture custom-made coating agents in accordance with the request.



[Business description]
We manufacture ceramic fibers and coating agents which improve heat-resistance (i.e., restrain the shrinkage rate when heated to high temperature) of finite /non-finite refractories mainly for refractory manufacturers. The application of a coating allows construction in hard-to-build locations (where wind-damage resistance is required). As a new business in the field of heat insulators, we are conducting research and development with a view to advancing the non-finite castable refractory.



[Industry]
Manufacturing of refractories

[Strength of products/technologies]
Since ceramic fibers are excellent thermal insulators, they have been used in many industrial furnaces. However, they are prone to shrinkage in high temperature environments. By applying our coating agent to general ceramic fibers of 1,260℃-grade, the heat shrinkage can be reduced by half or more. (Compared with the 5.2% shrinkage when heated for 300 hours at 1,350℃ without coating, the shrinkage is reduced to 2.2% when coating is applied.) A coating 2-3mm thick is necessary with conventional coating agents. However, our coating agent only requires 0.2-0.3mm, or 1/10 the thickness to achieve similar results. Our coating agent has excellent workability because of the low viscosity and high dispersion property, so it is possible to apply the coating with a pneumatic sprayer.

[Representative's message]
We plan to display our products at domestic exhibitions in 2015 and to maintain biannual submissions from now on in order to enhance the awareness of our products. Existing products are regulated by the ceramic fiber industry and will soon be replaced by biosoluble fibers. The demand for the coating is also expected to grow due to the scattering prevention effect and we are planning to expand our business in this way. Under the support of our joint research partner, Tokoname Ceramic Technology Center, we are refining our technology. Through energy saving technology, we are planning to join emerging markets such as China and India where there is a high demand for insulators based on the need to reduce lighting and heating expenses.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We have assigned staff in the Manufacturing Department in charge of corresponding with new clients, and can handle inquiries from major companies. Regarding technical consultations, our President and Managing Director will respond with an immediate solution to various proposals from our clients. We have also arranged a system in which they can visit the customer to discuss a solution for the issue. Our President and Managing Director also respond to overseas enterprises through an interpreter. We are eager to engage in business overseas.
