Special surface treatment process that makes natural lacquer adhere strongly to glass, ceramics, metals, shellfish, etc.

Qualia Coating

It is a revolutionary service born from customer requests

~The texture of the base material itself does not change at all~

Conventionally, adhesion between lacquer and glass, ceramics, etc. is poor. Until now, methods have been used to improve adhesion by applying sandblast polishing, baking, primer treatment, etc. However,
1. The number of processes is increasing, and it takes time, and costs
2. When treated with a primer, the thickness and texture of the paint come out, and the texture of glass etc. changes.
3. For example, when fine maki-e is applied to glass, the texture of the part that is not lacquered changes when the entire surface is polished or painted. Also, when it comes to masking parts that are not lacquered, it takes quite a bit of time and effort.

There were problems such as, etc. “Qualia coating processing” (Q.C processing) solved this problem.
