To fundamentally solve the oil leaks that tend to occur in transformers, it is necessary to drain the oil after stopping the operation temporarily and conduct an extensive overhaul such as changing the deteriorated parts. As this overhaul requires a lot of time and cost, emergency repair to seal leaky areas with sealant is conducted as a temporary cure. However, there was the problem that the oil leakage could not feasibly be stopped during repair because the sealing material did not adhere to the areas that were coated with oil, and it took time to cure, leading to oil leakage in the repaired area.

UV Curable Sealant “UVS-1000C,” which has been productized by our company, is a special sealant for repairing oil leaks, which can adhere to oily surfaces and cure in a short time.
As the sealant, which is compatible with and incorporates oil, is applied to the adhesive surface of pipes, bonding is possible even in areas that are coated with oil. In addition, instant curing by applying UV can seal the area before leak paths start to develop. There is no waiting time for complete curing, which saves man hours. In addition, it is one component type, which does not require mixing before use, so it is easy to handle and customers can work by themselves.

Our company is aiming to resolve social issues with high technology and establish sustainable growth through business expansion in a new domain. The development of the product is a part of these activities, and in order to resolve social issues like oil leaks and provide customers with new value, they were developed by using knowledge and know-how of the composition of various adhesive materials that our company has cultivated in the electronics domain.

Our company will propose the product for use in the repair of small and medium-sized mechanical equipment and automobile parts, as well as for electric equipment such as transformers to expand sales. In addition, we will develop repairing material for infrastructure maintenance where gas leaks and water leaks are repaired by utilizing our own elemental technology, and aim at business growth by improving product structure of INFRA-AID.
