customer's voice

We strive every day to provide safe and stable transportation so that our customers can use our services with peace of mind and comfort. We have adopted HIREC in order to prevent large operational disruptions caused by snow accretion on the vehicle during snowfall and to provide stable transportation.

During the heavy snowfall in February 2014, we were able to minimize disruptions to train operations, and were able to efficiently remove the snow that had accumulated on the train cars. I have confirmed.

We plan to complete the adoption of this system in all vehicles by the end of fiscal 2014.

Utilizing our experience and technical capabilities in ship repair, bridge and industrial machinery manufacturing, we are also enthusiastically working on new fields such as environment-related equipment and large port cargo handling equipment, and have achieved many achievements.

Anti-snow materialAmong them, there was a request from the customer for measures to prevent snow accretion (snow cornice) on the equipment, and as a countermeasure, we installed snow accretion prevention materials.

To further enhance peace of mind and safety, we not only installed the components, but also selected and painted super hydrophobic coating HIREC, which is effective in preventing snow from accumulating. The snow prevention measures have been effective, and our customers are very satisfied with them.

customer's voice

In general, if torrential rain or heavy snow occurs during reception of satellite broadcasting, the image may be disturbed. We are always working to ensure that our subscribers are satisfied with our broadcasting services even in bad weather.

In order to further improve the quality of the broadcasts we provide to our customers, we have adopted HIREC as a countermeasure against snow and ice accretion on the surface of our large parabolic antenna for reception.

After painting the parabolic antenna with HIREC, the amount of radio wave attenuation during rain and snowfall is reduced, and we can clearly see the difference in effect compared to before painting.

Other application examples

Due to its water repellency, HIREC is highly effective in preventing water film build-up on radars, antennas, and radomes.It is also highly effective in preventing snow and ice build-up on equipment in snowy or frozen areas.

Airport Guidance Antenna

Airport Guidance Antenna

Although snow may not fall off HIREC-treated surfaces unless the slope is very steep, ice and snow do not adhere to them, so cleaning takes very little time.

Anemometer

Airport Guidance Antenna

Anemometers do not function properly if they are covered with ice or snow. HIREC construction prevents the accumulation of such ice and snow.

Transmission Tower

High voltage tower

HIREC's anti-fouling properties are also expected to help prevent insulation failures caused by air pollution.
