Q & A

• What is the range of dimensions that the Bakelite tube is supplied in?
• Inner diameters are between 6 and 1,900 mm, and lengths are between 700 and 2,000 mm.
  In addition to Bakelite, other material types such as Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) can be supplied.
  Furthermore, tailor-made lathes and milling cutters can be processed by specifying the shape.
  
  Resin syntheses, compounding, intermediate product (pre-impregnation) creation and molding (winding, press etc.) are major variables of which Toyo Light has extensive knowledge, and therefore Toyo Light can design combined processes and materials to suit customer needs.

• Can film cores be used in a clean state for prolonged periods of time?
• The “TLust Core” technology can suppress the formation of scratches and dirt on the surface layer. Additionally, the main body is a laminated product comprising a glass cloth, and Toyo Light offers higher performance materials that are more stable than conventional Filament Winding (FW) products. Toyo Light considers the environmental impact, and thus recommends FRP regeneration (repair) from the viewpoint of life cycle assessment (LCA) and long-term cost reduction.
  
  * “TLust Core” is a 6-inch core dedicated for winding various optical films and thin film sheet materials such as copper foil.
