soufa is extremely effective in imparting flame retardant effects to wood.
Since it can be applied to already completed temples and shrines and temples later, it is also effective as a measure against arson, etc. on important cultural properties, which has been increasing very much in recent years.

Every winter, there is fire news from shrines and shrines nationwide.
Especially old shrines and shrines are made of wood, and it is very easy to ignite because the wood is dry.
In addition, unlike ordinary houses, abundantly used wood is used for the outer and inner walls, so it can be said that the building is vulnerable to fire.
Many shrines and temples have no inhabitants at night, so early detection of fire seems to be difficult, and it seems that crime prevention is required throughout the area.

However, if the building itself is not fire-retardant, it is often impossible to reach out at the time the fire is discovered, and there are cases where firefighters have no choice but to look around until they arrive. You. Isn’t it important for wood-based buildings to have flame-retardant construction to make themselves less flammable?

Soufa can impart flame retardance simply by applying it to the wood of the building.
The advantage is that it can be easily constructed.

We believe that it is important to make efforts to preserve the temples, shrines and temples, which are Japanese assets, for the Tokyo Olympics.

Soufa Sofa manufactured by our company is a flame retardant with high effect on cellulose. Originally developed for flame retardant wood. Therefore, compatibility with wood-based materials is extremely good.

If it is a bark chip, etc., it can give flame retardant performance just by spraying.

Since there is no burning experiment video of bark chip, it is a burning experiment video with wood.
I make fire with gasoline.

It is often used for decoration of indoor facilities. When used at the same time as plants, toxic flame retardants and flame retardants may not be available.
However, soufa has almost no toxicity and has been demonstrated in various safety tests.

Since boric acid is the main raw material and is effective in termite control, it was originally used as a wood preservative. Recently, it has attracted attention as an extremely low-flammability flame retardant, and is now expanding its sales network in various fields.

It is a non-halogen, non-phosphorous, non-heavy metal, almost non-toxic and safe flame retardant.
It is water-based and easy to handle.
Bark chips can be sprayed with a sprayer.

Since it can be operated with light clothing, safety is also considered.

One paper maker talked about the lack of flame retardancy with a phosphorus-based flame retardant and the fact that the paper turned yellow and stiffened. soufa solved those problems.

Since our company is specialized in flame retardant wood, we have not verified the details of paper.
However, a simple combustion test has been conducted and it has been confirmed that it is effective for paper.

Below is a 16% soufa aqueous solution applied to Japanese paper and dried.

Until now, phosphorus and aluminum hydroxide have been widely used as flame retardants for paper.
We believe that soufa can be used as a paper flame retardant.

Although the amount of shipment is still small, some products are used in special paper.
Sodium polyborate is a highly effective flame retardant for cellulose, the main constituent of wood. Therefore, it has a high effect on paper and pulp.
The difficulty is that it has a slight hardening effect on the pulp, so you may need to consider adjusting the water content or using a softener in combination. Either way, it is still in use at the development stage, so we expect future use.
