Fujihokka, a radical lightweight high-efficiency heat radiation/absorption alumite coated alloy material is now to be manufactured in the United Kingdom
Fujihokka, a radical lightweight high-efficiency heat radiation/absorption alumite coated alloy material, which has been hailed as a notable invention by the Science and Technology Agency, is now to be manufactured in the United Kingdom specifically to enable it to be supplied and price-effectively marketed in Europe, through Fujikura Europe Limited.
Originally announced by Fujikura's Far East research facilities in 1998, Fujihokka is now being developed by Westbury-based Fujikura Europe to allow the material to be specified in sheet or various profiles, or as a coating for a diverse range of OEM applications.
The new Fujihokka material is integrally coated with a unique 20 to 30um alumite film providing exceptional performance in any application involving heating, cooling or drying.
The material is ideal to enhance thermal performance on equipment, or processes where optimum energy-efficiency is essential.
Fujihokka, which is superior to paint coating alternatives, is energy efficient leading to improved performance at lower costs.
Typical benefits offered by Fujihokka are: 1- efficient energy-saving with industrial heating and infra-red appliances and ovens, - improved cooling efficiency in refrigeration, heat exchangers and heat sinks, - temperature control and energy-efficiency in process control, - reduced temperatures and time savings in drying applications such as paints - fast curing times for adhesives and resins - effective heat shields and climatic controls in automotive and aerospace industries - controlled conditions for medical, horticulture and animal husbandry disciplines Fujikura Europe can supply Fujihokka in virtually any form, and a version that allows the material to be applied as an over treatment for steel substrates is also available.
Coil production is also offered.
This remarkable material can be used up to 2000C and has excellent abrasion resistance - better than hardened steel.
