To reduce "slipping and danger," make wet, slippery tiles and stones less slippery. Non-coating anti-slip treatment for floors.
The "ASL method" is a technique that involves applying a liquid agent to flooring materials (tiles and stone) to dissolve specific components, creating countless holes measuring several micrometers (thousandths of a millimeter) on the surface of the tiles or stone. The difference before and after construction is simply whether there are "holes on the surface of the floor." When a person walks on it while wet, their weight compresses the water, making it harder for the water to move, which reduces the likelihood of slipping. Tiles and stone surfaces wear down over time, gradually eliminating the holes; however, as long as there are holes, the effect will last if the floor surface is cleaned properly.

Osaka Prefectural Assembly Building (Chuo Ward) Balancing the improvement of safety and the preservation of aesthetics in a historic building Recently, we implemented the "ASL method" as a slip prevention measure for the flooring tiles in the Osaka Prefectural Assembly Building. The Assembly Building, constructed in 1926 (Taisho 15), is a historic structure that is used by many visitors. The ASL method was adopted to enhance safety while maintaining the existing design and texture as much as possible. The ASL method can improve slip resistance without replacing the existing tiles, offering features such as: - Reducing slips while maintaining aesthetics - Addressing fall risk - Quick construction time - Cost savings compared to replacement In this project, we carefully executed the work to ensure safety during rainy or humid conditions while preserving the building's appearance. For public facilities, condominiums, nursing homes, commercial establishments, and more, we propose the ASL method for those who want to improve slippery floors without going through the hassle of replacement. We also offer on-site surveys and test installations. Please feel free to contact us.

Implementation of ASL Method at Osaka Metro Midosuji Line Station (Support Work) At the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line station, the "ASL Grip Method" was applied as a slip prevention measure. Although the station interior is indoors, the floor became very slippery due to moisture from users' umbrellas and shoe soles during rainy weather. Following actual incidents of falls, the ASL method was adopted as an emergency safety measure. For this construction, night work was conducted after the last train to minimize the impact on operations. Approximately 200m² of flooring was completed in just two nights. The ASL method has the following features: - Improves slip resistance without replacing the existing floor - Can be applied with minimal change to appearance - Can be completed in a short time frame - Easily applicable to facilities that are open for business, such as stations and commercial establishments It is effective as a safety measure for facilities used by many pedestrians. For concerns about floors that "become slippery when wet" or "have a risk of falls," we provide proposals tailored to the local situation for public transportation, commercial facilities, apartments, nursing homes, and more. We can also conduct on-site surveys and test installations. Please feel free to contact us.

We have implemented the "ASL method" at numerous elementary, junior high, and high schools in Osaka City. In school facilities, entrances, external corridors, stairs, and ramps can become slippery during rainy weather, making it important to address the risk of falls for students and staff. In this project, we applied the ASL method to tiled floors and artificial polished stone floors. We improved slip resistance while maintaining the existing finishes, ensuring safety without significantly altering the aesthetics. The ASL method can be completed in a short period, allowing us to minimize the impact on classes and facility operations. Additionally, we can measure the CSR value (slip resistance value) of the flooring as needed. We have been continuously adopted in educational facilities in Osaka City, and the implementation is progressing as a proactive measure to ensure the safety and security of children and students. We can also conduct on-site surveys and test installations. Please feel free to contact us.

We have implemented the "ASL method" in the golf course bathroom. Golf is a sport enjoyed by many people regardless of age, and the safety of the bathroom used after play is also important. Especially after a round, fatigue can set in, and measures to prevent the risk of slipping on wet bathroom floors are necessary. In this implementation, we applied the "ASL method" to the slippery floor of the golf course bathroom. We improved the slip resistance while preserving the existing tiles, enhancing safety without significantly changing the appearance. The ASL method is widely adopted as a safety measure for slippery floors in bathrooms, ramps, stairs, and entrances. We contribute to creating an environment where users can safely enjoy the facilities. We are also able to conduct on-site surveys and test installations. Please feel free to contact us.

In a bathing facility in Osaka City, we implemented the "ASL method" as a slip prevention measure. The request we received was from staff members who assist elderly individuals during bathing, as well as from the elderly individuals themselves, who wanted to improve the "slippery and dangerous" situation. Bathing facilities in care homes tend to have slippery floors due to soap and moisture, making them high-risk areas for falls. Falls can lead to serious accidents, especially for the elderly, which is why the ASL method was adopted as a proactive safety measure before any accidents occur. The ASL method has the following features: - It allows for construction that utilizes the existing floor. - It improves slip resistance without significantly changing the appearance. - It can be completed in a short time frame. - It is effective even when wet. This method is widely adopted in care and welfare facilities. Additionally, we have numerous successful installations not only in bathrooms but also in facility entrances, ramps, corridors, and outdoor stairs. During the rainy season, the risk of falls increases. How about implementing slip prevention measures early for the safety and security of facility users and staff? We can also conduct on-site surveys and test installations. Please feel free to contact us.

Implementation of ASL method in the kitchen of a major supermarket's deli section in Osaka City In the kitchen of a major supermarket's deli section in Osaka City, the "ASL method" was applied as a slip prevention measure. The floor in the kitchen had become slippery and greasy due to the effects of oil and moisture, posing a risk of slipping and falling during work. The ASL method was adopted as a safety measure. Before construction, a specialized detergent for oil stains was used to thoroughly remove the accumulated oil and slime built up over the years. After properly cleaning the substrate, slip-resistant work was carried out. Kitchens and backyards are environments where water and oil are constantly used, making them prone to slip accidents. The ASL method can enhance slip resistance while utilizing the existing floor, making it suitable for facilities that are operational or kitchen facilities. After the construction, the floor environment was improved to allow for safe cooking operations. - Slip prevention measures for kitchen floors - Safety measures for backyards - Slip-resistant construction utilizing existing floors - Quick construction response We provide proposals tailored to the facility's conditions. On-site surveys and test constructions are also available. Please feel free to contact us.

To reduce the risk of slipping and danger. We provide anti-slip treatments that make wet and slippery tiles and stones less slippery, using a method that does not involve coatings. We dissolve specific components contained in the tiles and stones to create fine holes (a few thousandths of a millimeter) across the entire floor. This suppresses the movement of water when the floor is wet, resulting in a firm grip. 【Ultra-High-Pressure Cleaning】 In recent years, there has been an increase in tile detachment. There are various causes for tile detachment, but one of the preventive measures is to address concrete with the "roughening method" using ultra-high-pressure cleaning, which has become mainstream. Our company is responsible for the entire process from ultra-high-pressure cleaning to tile substrate preparation and tile installation.
