Beautifully durable wood! Wood Kokoro offers a modification treatment that enhances anti-corrosion, anti-termite properties, dimensional stability, and light resistance. Preventing wood discoloration for over 10 years!
This is a high-quality wood modification treatment that combines a modification treatment technology that deposits glassy substances in the cell walls of wood, called "Mikokoro," which is composed of multiple silicate compounds, to protect and strengthen the wood cells, with surface coating using liquid glass. Wood injected with a glassy substance known as colloidal glass becomes hydrophobic as the hydroxyl groups in the wood bond with the good components in the water and the glassy substance. As a result, it becomes modified wood that excels in decay resistance, termite resistance, and dimensional stability. Additionally, by making it compatible with coatings, it can be beautifully painted, and applying liquid glass treatment as a topcoat addresses discoloration and graffiti. 【Features】 ■ Uses the wood modification treatment solution "Mikokoro" that beautifies wood and enhances long-term durability ■ Effective against decay and termites ■ Excellent dimensional stability ■ No occurrence of splinters or rough edges For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

basic information
○ By penetrating a multi-dispersed colloidal glass solution into wood, spherical colloidal glass is formed in the cell layers of the wood (near the S2 layer), binding with the hydroxyl groups of cellulose, which prevents the components of the cell wall from absorbing water. ○ By elevating the hydroxyl groups (based on the same theory as acetylation), the wood itself becomes hydrophobic, resulting in excellent paintability. ○ Furthermore, by applying liquid glass treatment to the surface, it prevents discoloration of the wood for over 10 years* (*in vertical conditions). For flat surfaces, please refer to our "Woody Sera." ● Samples are available. If you need one, please request it through our inquiry form.

Company information
Nikko Corporation has researched and developed a complex gel method that reacts similarly to sol-gel in the aqueous domain for four years, leading to practical application. The complex gel technology involves reacting silica sol with organic compositions in the aqueous domain to form organic-synthesized silica membranes. The organically modified silica membranes are highly flexible and breathable, allowing for the formation of thick silica membranes (over 20 microns) and the creation of glassy materials within wood, making it a company that attracts attention due to its rich inorganic chemistry technology.
