UMC [Raw material research]



	The quality products for cars start with an extensive research on raw materials. The optimum raw material, which can satisfy varied required conditions, is born through repeated tests using many, different advanced precision pieces of equipment.

In materials, like gaskets, which are exposed to high temperature and
pressure, it is also important to control quantities of water contained.

Checks can be made at a micro-level on whether impurities are contained or not in the material of a gasket, a seal, or such.

A tensile, compressive performance may be evaluated under numerous conditions of temperature, humidity, ultraviolet rays, and the like.

This evaluates the tension of rubber products like a rubber gasket.

It is evaluated whether or not any detrimental, organic substances set down in the Dietary Hygiene Law have grown from cork stoppers, crown caps, etc.

Checks are made on whether or not sundry germs are growing in a cork
stopper etc. which use a natural raw material.
