• Organic Natural Materials

In industrial applications, it is used as a dye fixing agent and preservative for nylon, boiler cleaning agents, rust inhibitors, and ink raw materials, and in food applications, it has a track record as an antioxidant and preservative.

In 1915, the extraction of tannic acid from gallnuts by the former Dai Nippon Pharmaceutical Company marked the beginning of the production and sale of gallic acid and pyrogallol. Substances extracted from plant seeds, fruit shells, leaves, roots, etc., that can be used to turn animal hides into leather are collectively referred to as "tannin" or "plant tannin." Among tannins, tannic acid is derived from gallnuts harvested from plants in the Anacardiaceae family and from gallnuts harvested from plants in the Fagaceae family. Our company has been selling various types of tannic acid as a manufacturer of tannic acid and its derivatives for several decades. Tannic acid is used in industrial applications as a dye fixing agent for nylon, preservatives, boiler cleaning agents, rust inhibitors, and ink raw materials, and it has proven effective as an antioxidant and preservative in food applications. We support your development with CO2 reduction, carbon neutrality, and sustainable raw materials. 【Product Lineup】 ■ Naturally derived antioxidants The catalog can be downloaded from the "special site." *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

In construction awards, not only the quality of the completed structure but also the ingenuity demonstrated during the construction process is an important factor. By using wooden mats for temporary roads and access routes, we can propose solutions tailored to the challenges of each site, such as improving the efficiency of installation and removal, reducing the burden on workers, addressing summer heat reflection, minimizing metal noise, and considering environmental factors. Hyper CLT mats are lightweight wooden mats utilizing CLT. A 5×10 panel weighs approximately 230 kg, making it relatively lightweight and suitable for use in temporary roads, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. Additionally, it is a registered technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS "TH-250021-A," serving as a material for proposing the use of new technologies and creative ideas in public works. However, simply being registered with NETIS does not determine construction awards or evaluations. It is important to record the reasons for adoption, changes before and after construction, working hours, usage conditions, and environmental effects, and to explain the initiatives concretely. Wooden mats, NETIS, civil engineering, CLT, lightweight wooden mats. Hyper CLT mats are a new option for bringing ingenuity on-site into form.
