During this process, a key challenge arose: improving the maintenance efficiency of spray nozzles used to apply stripping solutions during the resist stripping process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">Traditionally, polypropylene (PP) nozzles with excellent chemical resistance were used. Featuring a <span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">quick-detachable design<\/span>, they allowed for easy attachment and removal of the nozzle tip by simply turning it, providing exceptional convenience during maintenance tasks such as nozzle replacement.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/noz-injjx-ss-elec-image_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6304\" \/><br \/>\nPlastic Quick-Detachable Nozzle (Left) and Stripping Solution Spray Pattern (Right)<\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">However, achieving finer patterning required heating the stripping solution to nearly 100\u00b0C.<br \/>\nThis posed a challenge, as PP nozzles had a heat resistance limit of 80\u00b0C, rendering them unsuitable for the new precision manufacturing equipment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">As an alternative, standard stainless steel nozzles with threaded fittings were considered. However, maintenance would require unscrewing dozens of nozzles, significantly increasing the workload for users.<\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">This prompted the need for a new nozzle that could <span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">address both high temperatures and user-friendly maintenance requirements<\/span>.<\/p>\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<p><!-- Proposals from IKEUCHI\u3000\u2605p\uff5e\/p\u3067\u6bb5\u843d\u533a\u5207\u308a \u2605\u753b\u50cfURL\u3092\u201d\u3053\u3053\u306bURL\"\u306e\u4f4d\u7f6e\u306b\u5165\u308c\u308b\u3002\u753b\u50cf\u30b5\u30a4\u30ba\u306f\u5143\u548c\u6587HTML\u53c2\u8003\u3000--><\/p>\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\">\nTo address the customer\u2019s needs, we engineered and crafted a stainless steel nozzle matching the performance of conventional PP nozzles, while designed to spray high-temperature liquids.<br \/>\nRetaining the same excellent ease of maintenance as before, <span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">the new quick-detachable nozzle offers superior chemical resistance and is built to withstand temperatures of up to 150\u00b0C<\/span>. This innovation enables the efficient and reliable spraying of high-temperature stripping solutions without any issues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">In addition to higher liquid temperatures, there has also been a trend toward increased spray pressures.
