Asahi Rubber is collaboration with academia, industry, and government to jointly research and commercialize medical learning tools that support aspiring doctors and nurses as well as assist young doctors in advancing their careers.Helping with challenging procedures and educating students through tools like puncture simulators for injections and blood sampling, models for practicing colonoscopies, and CA trainers for learning the positioning of blood vessels surrounding the heart.

In the fields and plastic greenhouses where vegetables and fruits are grown, temperature and sunlight exposure change from moment to moment even during a day. Asahi Rubber is now promoting a rubber cover called “Soft Protective Cover” to protect sensors that can measure temperature, illuminance, and other factors.

The wind turbines used in wind power generation are exposed to harsh environments such as mountaintops, coastlines, and offshore locations, with the blade tips rotating at speeds of up to 300 km/h.Asahi Rubber is involved in products to support wind turbines, such as protectors to protect blades from rain, wind, friction, erosion, products to reduce lightning strike damage, and products that align with the airflow along the blades to enhance rotation efficiency.

LEDs are commonly used in electronic billboards seen on highways.If only LEDs are arranged in a row, the light will spread out, so they will only glow dimly when viewed from a distance and will not be recognized as letters or figures.Therefore, by combining LEDs with a lens that collects light, the light becomes straight ahead, and the LEDs lined up in a row can be clearly recognized as letters or figures.ASA COLOR LENS made of silicone rubber, which is resistant to deterioration, is used in some of these outdoor electric signs.

ASA COLOR LED, Asahi Rubber's flagship product, is used as a light source for various switches in vehicles.Car manufacturers have found it a big issue that the color of light passing through resin switches looks different, such as “whitish blue” or “bluish blue,” depending on the material and thickness of the resin.The customer brings in the actual equipment, such as a console panel, and we measure the light passing through the plastic switches to perform color matching, thus creating a uniform look throughout the entire car interior.

In stores located in commercial facilities, lighting is chosen to match the overall concept of the store in order to light up the products to make them more attractive.Asahi Rubber offers color filters that can be converted to warm or cool colors that match the store's concept even after the lighting is installed, as well as rubber cap filters to softly diffuse glaring lighting.

Recently, RFID systems are being introduced to improve the efficiency of product and parts management in logistics and general industries where labor shortages are becoming an issue.Asahi Rubber will provide the RFID tags necessary for such systems.In many cases, when using typical RFID tags in harsh environments like outdoors, they are often damaged and become disposable.By packaging RFID tags in silicone rubber, they our customers can be used for a long time even in harsh environments with rain, wind, and mud.

Asahi Rubber is a contract manufacturer of table tennis rubbers, and our rubbers are widely used by many players.Table tennis matches require advanced and fine techniques such as high-speed rallies and strong rotation, so table tennis rubbers must also be of high quality.Asahi Rubber has been steadily meeting high quality requirements by utilizing our rubber compounding technology and production technology filled with know-how cultivated over the years.

In hospitals, time-sensitive treatments are performed every day.There are many products that aid in this process, and pre-filled syringes, known as "prefilled," are pre-filled with medication in advance, allowing for speedy administration of medication.Asahi Rubber manufactures gaskets used as plungers for this pre-filled type of syringe.Since the gasket is in constant contact with the chemical solution, it is essential to precisely set the rubber compound to prevent unwanted components of the rubber from being extracted into the chemical solution.
