■■Results■■■ Comparison of three weed control methods, including reinforced fiber mixed spraying■■■

By mixing Balchip MK and Toughlight RG for mortar spraying, the crack occurrence rate in mortar structures is further reduced!

The mortar reinforcement fiber mixed spraying proposed by K.F. involves mixing polypropylene fibers for mortar reinforcement, "Varchip MK," with crack suppression polypropylene short fibers, Toughlight RG, and spraying them. This method reduces the crack occurrence rate in mortar structures, thereby enhancing durability and lowering lifecycle costs. By performing mixed spraying of reinforcement fibers on slopes and other areas, a more lasting weed suppression effect can be expected. 【Why is the crack occurrence rate reduced?】 Reinforcement fibers have various characteristics depending on their type, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. "Varchip MK" has a longer fiber length and a rough surface, allowing the mortar to cling to each fiber, making it difficult to pull out and providing crack prevention effects (cross-linking effect). Additionally, as the bending toughness increases, it is possible to omit the wire mesh and reduce the spraying thickness. However, since each fiber is long and thick, the adhesion area within the mortar decreases.

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!

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.

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!

We developed a system that expands the functions of the electronic manifest ASP "KENET" to record the traceability from waste to the creation of recycled resources using blockchain technology. In May 2025, as a pre-service, we implemented registration functions from waste registration to the input of the recycling process and the completion of recycled resources. In January 2026, we newly developed functions for inventory management and shipping of recycled materials. The system also includes a CFP registration function for recycled resources, allowing for data input on the decarbonization effects of resource circulation. We aim to utilize the waste management functions cultivated over 18 years with KENET to advance into the field of resource circulation and work towards the effective use of waste for a circular society.

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 to 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 you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.

Miami, Florida, January 10, 2026 - (JCN Newswire) - Promiscel, a clinical-stage cell immunotherapy company uniquely positioned in the development of potentially curative cell therapies for cancer patients, announced today that Dr. John Lee, our Chief Medical Officer, will present interim results of our lead asset, PRO CAR - 201A (a CAR T cell therapy targeting STEAP1). This therapy is currently being conducted as the first human Phase 1 clinical trial aimed at treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The presentation will take place on January 12, 2025 (Monday) at 11:15 AM Pacific Standard Time at the Franciscan D (Ballroom Level) during the "Biotech Showcase 2026" in San Francisco, California.

What exactly is a "working adult"? Some definitions are not found in the dictionary. Even when they are, they can be quite vague. Are we not mistakenly thinking that being a working adult means being admirable or important? Do people follow a path from preschooler to child, to student, to student, to working adult, and then to non-working adult? Is being a working adult really that special among these stages?
