However, failures occurred when parts remained insufficiently bonded or completely unbonded after the curing time, and these defects were not noticed, allowing the parts to pass to the next stage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/hum-aa-kitchen_appliances-main-01-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"655\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5972\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">As a result, additional inspections were required in the subsequent process, and parts often had to be returned for rework. In the worst-case scenario, the entire lot had to be quarantined for further inspection.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">To investigate the cause of the failures, an assessment of the site environment was conducted, revealing that the humidity levels dropped to approximately 30% during the winter months. Furthermore, the adhesive used cures by absorbing moisture from the air, so it became clear that <span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">insufficient humidity in the process was the cause of the bonding failures<\/span>.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">\nDetermining that proper humidity control was necessary to resolve the issue, the customer consulted IKEUCHI for a solution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"max-width:824px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto\">\n<div style=\"margin-top:5rem;margin-bottom:3rem;width:100%;border-bottom:1px solid #E9E9E9\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"max-width:824px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto\">\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:0.8rem;background:url(https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/10px-45px.svg) no-repeat 0 0;background-size:auto 30px;padding-left: 20px\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.5rem\">Proposals from IKEUCHI<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">We proposed the implementation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/products\/sol-hum-airaki\/\" style=\"color: #00a273\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dry Fog Humidification System AirAKI<\/a>.
