OKITSUMO

Okitsumo is a manufacturer of heat resistant, functional and special paint... Although light weight is an essential factor in manufacturing paint with high heat insulation, the major obstacle was to apply the aerogel to paint. Paint is a composite of different materials and includes resin that makes up the framework of the paint, pigment for coloration and heat insulation, and solvent that evaporates. Failing to mix those materials uniformly disables the formation of an ideal coating film, which results in various defects. Aerogel is an extremely light material with a density one-tenth of water. It is like trying to immerse a balloon in water. In fact, we conducted many experiments to stably and uniformly inject aerogel into water. In the initial stage, injecting aerogel while agitating failed to mix the aerogel, it just kept circulating in the water. Once aerogel was mixed, when the agitation was stopped, it floated on the water. After that, we realized the stable test production and..
