Notice of Participation in the 23rd International Auto Aftermarket EXPO 2026 (IAAE 2026)

Easy-to-understand explanation of the causes of rust and types of rust prevention treatments [Free materials available].

Rust on vehicles such as commercial and private cars is a concern. "Salt Damage Guard" is a hybrid paint that combines adhesion, impact resistance, and rust prevention effects. It clears a rigorous saltwater spray test of 1,000 hours with additives like resins and aggregates that have excellent rust prevention capabilities. By combining it with acrylic resin that excels in chip resistance, it achieves strong rubber elasticity that can withstand impacts from small stones while driving. We provide clear explanations of the causes of rust on vehicles and methods to protect against it. [Content of the materials] ■ Why does salt cause rust? ■ How can you protect against rust? ■ Types of rust prevention treatments ■ Information on the application of Salt Damage Guard *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We also have a salt damage guard pouch gun with an adapter! After use, it can be rolled up and disposed of, reducing waste.

This product is a pouch pack of water-based salt damage guard that complies with organic regulations and PRTR clearance. When applied with the dedicated "Salt Damage Guard Pouch Gun," it is possible to draw up the paint until the very end. This clarifies how much paint is used for one vehicle, contributing to cost management. Depending on the shape of the lift, it may be difficult to reach certain areas with a 1L can, but with the smaller volume of the container and the material being less likely to scratch the vehicle, it allows for closer application to the target object. 【Features】 ■ Reduction of waste volume and weight ■ Reduction of material loss ■ Visible usage amount ■ Application possible in hard-to-reach areas *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

[Speaker] Yuka Sawai, Team Leader of Biodiversity, Sustainability Consulting Office, Dentsu Inc. [Key Lecture Content] In this lecture, we will introduce the current state of biodiversity in Japan while unraveling the changing values of "coexistence with nature" that are emerging among future consumers. Through quantitative and qualitative research targeting university students, we will reveal signs that the values sought in coexistence are shifting towards "multi-well-being." We will organize the potential that nature holds for consumers and explain how a company's attitude towards "coexistence with nature" can influence its evaluation, especially now that sustainability has become the norm. Additionally, we will present five perspectives for translating the value of coexistence into a company's strengths.
