Introducing "Thermo Barrier" at a model factory for energy-saving measures! Suzuki Corporation's Iwata Factory has experienced improved air conditioning efficiency and noticeable enhancements in work efficiency.

What is the patented construction method "Sky Method" that is applied from the top of a folded plate roof?

Cuts approximately 97% of "radiant heat from the sun" that cannot be prevented by insulation materials. The "Sky Method" is a patented technique that involves applying a heat-insulating sheet over a corrugated roof. 【Features of the Sky Method】 ■ Indoor temperature in summer decreases by about 11°C (maximum temperature difference based on experimental results) ■ Contributes to savings on air conditioning costs, prevention of product deterioration, and improvement of the working environment ■ Provides stable heat insulation effects regardless of the skill level of workers or weather conditions during installation ■ Effective against rain leaks ■ Uses a strong double-sided tape that does not peel off even in winds of 40m/s ■ Patent obtained (No. 6598337) *For more details, please download the PDF.

I will explain the principles of heat, such as why the shade of a flat roof is hot and why the shade of a tree is cool!

Why is it that the shade of a corrugated roof is hot while the shade of a tree is cool, even though the wind passes through and the temperature remains the same? The answer is "radiant heat." Radiant heat refers to electromagnetic waves such as far-infrared radiation. When you have a campfire in a drum can, your body warms up even though the wind is blowing. In this way, radiant heat moves from the hotter object (the drum can) to the cooler object (the human body), transferring heat regardless of the air temperature. [Reasons why the shade of a corrugated roof is hot] - Temperature in summer: 70°C to 80°C - Skin temperature of the human body: about 32°C to 33°C - Radiant heat from the corrugated roof is directed towards the human body - Even in the same shade, the perceived temperature can vary greatly due to the presence or absence of radiant heat *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Difference between insulation materials and heat shielding materials: conductive heat, convective heat, and radiant heat.

Measures to reduce the temperature rise in buildings during summer are urgently needed. In this situation, heat insulation materials that can replace traditional insulation are gaining attention. What exactly are these heat insulation materials? Let me explain heat insulation in an easy-to-understand manner. About the heat insulation sheet "Thermo Barrier" that reflects 97% of radiant heat "Thermo Barrier" is a special sheet that reflects radiant heat with an "aluminum foil" coating. By adding this product to insulation materials, it reflects the radiant heat from the summer sun and helps to reduce the temperature rise of insulation materials and buildings. In winter, it works to prevent the heat from heating appliances from being released outdoors, reducing cold at the feet. With the dual effects of summer and winter, it achieves ideal insulation properties and reflects heat that traditional insulation cannot stop. 【Features】 ■ Coated with "aluminum foil" to reflect radiant heat ■ Has a high reflectivity with aluminum purity of over 99% ■ Reflects 97% of radiant heat such as far-infrared rays ■ Achieves ideal insulation properties with the dual effects of summer and winter For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Installation of non-combustible certified Thermo Barrier S on the inner side of the roof in 'Slate Roof Under Construction'

Introducing the construction method "Slate Roof Under Installation" by Life Tech Co., Ltd. for factories and stores. Thermal Barrier S (non-combustible certified product) is installed with tapping screws towards the steel frame's purlins under the slate roof. The thermal barrier S on the inside reflects the radiant heat emitted from the slate, significantly reducing the impact of radiant heat. This results in a lower perceived temperature. 【Features】 ■ The thermal barrier S on the inside reflects the radiant heat emitted from the slate. ■ Significantly reduces the impact of radiant heat. ■ Has the effect of lowering the perceived temperature. ■ There is a difference in the impact of radiant heat between areas with and without thermal barrier S applied. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

CLT, which has been widely adopted in the construction field, is now expanding its applications into the civil engineering sector. The "Hyper CLT Mats" are civil engineering CLT products that utilize wood CLT as temporary materials. Traditionally, steel plates have been the mainstream choice for temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery yards. The Hyper CLT Mats introduce a new option of "wood" to that market. The 5x10 mats weigh approximately 230 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove with small machinery, with a maximum capacity of 40 mats on a 10-ton truck. They also have advantages in terms of workability and transportation efficiency. Moreover, they offer added value that can only be achieved with wood, such as glare reduction, noise control, CO2 fixation, and consideration for aesthetics. This product is expected to be a new proposal for not only construction companies but also building material firms, lumber companies, and material trading companies. It is a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS, with the registration number "TH-250021-A." The use of wood is not limited to construction anymore. The utilization of Hyper CLT Mats is expanding as a new market that connects civil engineering and wood.

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.
