Our company will act as the single point of contact, connecting partner manufacturers handling release layers, adhesives, and curing agents with the customer's evaluation team. How long is the prototyping period? It depends on the project, but because it requires repeated blending and evaluation, it tends to become a mid-to-long term project. Can we conclude an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)? Of course. We can execute an NDA at the initial stage of development.
