★★Update★★★ The comparison table has been updated. Reinforcing fibers and safety nets★★★

On-site, the safety of workers is paramount! We propose a safety net for slopes that can be easily installed on standing trees!

At K.F., we propose the safety net "An'ei Net" to protect important workers from falling objects. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has revised the safety and health regulations, and Article 539-5 includes "Work Plans." This requires conducting and recording an investigation of the work site, creating a work plan based on that, and informing and carrying out the work with the relevant workers. Within this "Work Plan," there are measures to prevent dangers to workers from falling objects, and in the "Investigation and Record" section, there is an item regarding "the work area and below it..." Are measures being taken in your work environment to protect important workers from falling objects? 【Features】 ■ The flexibility of high-strength raschel knitted fabric and the effectiveness of high-strength, high-elasticity rope absorb a wide range of falling rock energy (maximum falling rock energy 100kJ) ■ Easily installed on standing trees ■ High shock absorption performance of the net and rope reduces the load acting on the supports ■ Components are compact, making them easy to transport and install ■ Can be reused if there are no significant injuries *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Are measures in place to protect important workers from falling objects in the work environment? The components are compact, easy to carry and install, and easy to introduce!

The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has revised the safety and health regulations, and Article 539-5 states that there should be a "work plan." This involves conducting a survey of the work site, recording the findings, creating a work plan based on that information, and informing the relevant workers to carry out the work accordingly. Are measures being taken in your work environment to protect important workers from falling objects? Our company proposes the slope safety net "An'ei Net." 【Features】 - Absorbs falling rock energy due to the flexibility of high-strength raschel knitted fabric and the effectiveness of high-strength, high-elasticity ropes. - Easily installable on standing trees. - Components are compact, making transportation and installation easy. - Reusable if there are no significant external damages. *For more details, please contact us or download the PDF.

It is a polypropylene fiber for mortar reinforcement that excels in workability and chemical resistance.

For crack suppression in slope construction! NETIS registration number: KT-100021-VE. ■ Lightweight and excellent workability. With a density of 0.91g/cm3, it is light and easy to transport and mix. ■ Excellent chemical resistance and rust-free. It has superior alkali resistance and durability. ■ Adhesion to concrete. Embossed processing and hydrophilic treatment improve adhesion and enhance bending toughness. ■ Environmentally friendly. It does not produce dioxins (chlorine gas) when burned. 【Proposal: Weed prevention using reinforced fiber mixed spraying】 At K-F, we propose "weed prevention work using mortar reinforced fiber mixed spraying." Mortar reinforced fiber mixed spraying involves mixing polypropylene fibers for mortar reinforcement, "Balchip MK," with crack suppression polypropylene short fibers, Toughlight RG, and spraying them to further reduce the crack occurrence rate in mortar structures, thereby enhancing durability and reducing lifecycle costs. By performing reinforced fiber mixed spraying on slopes, such as at the base of the slope, more lasting weed prevention effects can be expected.

Project duration and cost reduction possible! This is a lightweight mortar reinforcement fiber that is easy to transport and add compared to steel fibers.

Keif handles products such as polypropylene fibers and vinylon fibers, which are compatible with concrete. "Mortar reinforcement fibers" have good adhesion to cement, making it difficult for cracks to form, and if cracks do occur, they help suppress their growth. The binding force of the mortar reinforcement fibers reduces the weakening of the structure during freezing, improves freeze-thaw resistance, and enhances long-term durability. 【Advantages of Reinforcement Fibers】 ■ In surface work, the lath application can be omitted, reducing construction time and costs. ■ Compared to steel fibers, they are lightweight, making transportation and addition easier. ■ Being organic fibers, they do not rust and maintain aesthetic appeal. 【Expected Application Scenarios】 ■ Sprayed concrete (surface work, tunnels) ■ Secondary lining ■ Painting work, etc. 【Products Handled】 ■ Kratec ■ Valtip MK, etc. *For more details, please refer to the PDF titled "A Must-See for Surface Work Contractors! Comparison Table of Mortar Reinforcement Fiber Method and Conventional Methods."

For suppressing shrinkage cracks in sprayed mortar! Safe material made of polypropylene! Crack-suppressing short fibers that can be mixed with a mixer.

Crack-inhibiting polypropylene short fibers, Toughlight, are processed into bundles, making them less likely to scatter and less likely to pierce the skin. Furthermore, since polypropylene is the material used, no toxic gases are generated during combustion, making it a highly safe crack-inhibiting short fiber. 【Incorporation Effects】 ● Reduces scattering and collapse during spraying ● Reduces shrinkage cracks caused by temperature changes and drying during the curing period 【Excellent Workability】 ● Easily mixed with a conventional mixer ● Generates few fiber balls and has high degradability ● The flow value remains unchanged with the incorporation of Toughlight, maintaining fluidity ● During spraying operations, fibers do not pierce like needles due to rebound There are many other features as well! For more details, please contact us or download the catalog to view. 【Proposal: Weed Control through Reinforced Fiber Mixed Spraying】 At K.F., we propose "Weed Control Work through Mortar Reinforced Fiber Mixed Spraying." Please check the basic information section below for details.

Prevent cracks in slope construction! Safe! Easy! Shortened construction period!

NETIS Registration Number: CG-070010-A "Kuratec" is a vinyl fiber for reinforcing mortar on slopes. By adding "Kuratec," it is possible to shorten the construction period by cutting out the lathing process depending on the site conditions, which in turn achieves cost reduction. Additionally, it has good adhesion to cement, making it less prone to cracking, and if cracks do occur, it suppresses their growth. Furthermore, since the quality of the mortar improves, it is also possible to reduce the thickness of the spray application. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog to view.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

SPACECOOL Inc., which researches, develops, and sells the radiation cooling material "SPACECOOL" that releases heat into space to achieve zero-energy cooling, will exhibit at the "Jumbo Surprise Exhibition," a comprehensive trade fair for electrical materials and housing equipment, held at Tokyo Big Sight from April 17 (Friday) to April 18 (Saturday), 2026, and at Intex Osaka from April 24 (Friday) to April 25 (Saturday), 2026. This material is a new technology that enables zero-energy cooling by converting heat into infrared radiation and releasing it into space, without using any external power. By implementing it in outdoor air conditioning units and outdoor electrical equipment, it helps suppress internal temperature rises, contributing to stable operation of devices and reduction of air conditioning energy consumption, and is being recognized as a new carbon-neutral technology. Its energy-saving performance has been acknowledged, and this material received the 2025 Energy Conservation Award. When you visit the venue, please stop by our booth. Our booth number is 972 (common for both Tokyo and Osaka). We will continue to work towards expanding the social implementation of SPACECOOL to contribute to the stable operation of outdoor equipment and air conditioning units, as well as to reduce air conditioning energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
