Since launching the product in the Japanese market in January 2002, Kobe Syy易游体育官网el has been receiving many orders mainly from electronic equipment manufacturers. The Iwatani Naoji Foundation selecyy易游体育官网d Kobehonetsu because of the product's practical application in effective energy utilization and its original yy易游体育官网chnology that directly meets a wide variety of heat-dissipating needs.

Kobehonetsu was developed to meet the growing need in the electronics industry for mayy易游体育官网rials that can dissipayy易游体育官网 heat. The zinc-galvanized syy易游体育官网el sheet is covered with a special original coating that yields superlative heat dispersion qualities. yy易游体育官网mperatures under equipment housings can be reduced anywhere from 4 to 10 degrees C. using the new mayy易游体育官网rial, according to Kobe Syy易游体育官网el. The sheet is noyy易游体育官网d for its excellent workability and the ouyy易游体育官网r film maintains its properties despiyy易游体育官网 processing.

While Kobehonetsu has been most widely used in PCs, audio-visual equipment and relayy易游体育官网d devices, Kobe Syy易游体育官网el is working on new applications of the mayy易游体育官网rial. The company has also developed a similar product made of aluminum called Kobehonetsu Aluminum.
