Enhancing Building Safety and Energy Saving Solutions
Overview of Our Solutions for Building Safety and Energy Saving
In Japan, where earthquakes, typhoons, and torrential rains are common, it is essential to maintain high levels of building safety and prevent secondary disasters such as fires. At the same time, high energy saving is also required, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Our Company develops a wide range of products using its proprietary technological capabilities to meet these requirements.
Safety Solutions
We offer materials that contribute to building safety.
[For Buildings]
- "Lightweight ceiling material" is less likely to fall compared to standard ceiling materials and, even if they do fall, minimize damage to people and property.
- "Nonflammable sheet flameproof hanging wall" made from fire-resistant sheets, which are less likely to break than conventional glass and are approximately 1/10 the weight of traditional solutions.
[For Bridges and Tunnels]
- "Sandy Aramid Mesh Method Sheet" for newly built concrete that prevents delamination and controls surface cracking near the concrete surface.
Energy Efficiency Solutions
We offer materials that contribute to building energy saving.
- "High-transparency, heat-reflective insulating film" that allow natural light in while achieving energy savings.
- "Thermal barrier solvent paint" that reflects heat in the near-infrared range effectively, suppressing temperature increases on the painted surface and heat penetration into the interior.
- "Tent awning fabrics" with multi-functional properties such as weather resistance, UV protection, flame retardancy, waterproofing, stain resistance, and heat insulation.
Teijin Frontier’s Strengths
R&D and Technological Capabilities
Our development is based on R&D conducted in our laboratories and manufacturing plants.
For example, Our “Lightweight ceiling material” balances rigidity, thermal insulation, non-combustibility, and sound absorption while remaining lightweight, which required considerable development effort. Through extensive research, we arrived at a method of pressing resilient vertical nonwoven fabric used in mattresses with fireproof glass cloth, creating a combination of different materials. This product is now widely adopted in large commercial spaces such as airports and gymnasiums where ceiling collapse prevention is legally required.
Beyond “Lightweight ceiling material”, many innovative products developed with our technological expertise, such as “Nonflammable sheet flameproof hanging wall” created in response to secondary disasters during the Great East Japan Earthquake, are in use across various locations.
Main Products
Lightweight ceiling material
It is less likely to fall compared to standard ceiling materials and, even if they do fall, minimize damage to people and property. It offers excellent sound absorption, thermal insulation, design, and is certified as a non-combustible material under Japanese Building Standards Law.
Nonflammable sheet flameproof hanging wall
A smoke curtain wall that hangs more than 50 cm from the ceiling, delaying the spread of smoke during a fire to extend evacuation time. Made with fire-resistant glass fiber and aluminum frames, and certified by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
Sandy Aramid Mesh Method Sheet
By affixing this sheet to the inner surface of the formwork before casting concrete, the sheet positions itself near the surface of the concrete, thanks to its sand grain size, which ensures an appropriate cover thickness. Its lightweight, high strength, and durability help prevent concrete delamination and control surface cracking.
Tent awning fabric
We are the pioneer of Japanese-made awning fabric since 1957.Our extensive lineup features a variety of colors and patterns, offering fabrics that cater to multiple uses such as weather resistance, UV protection, flame retardancy, waterproofing, stain resistance, and heat insulation.
High-transparency, heat-reflective insulating film
A film that combines high transparency and excellent solar heat reflection, achieving both brightness and comfort while contributing to energy savings.
Thermal barrier solvent paint
It composed of two component curing that combines acrylic silicone resin with special fine ceramics. It reflects heat in the near-infrared range effectively, suppressing temperature increases on the painted surface and heat penetration into the interior. And also it achieves high surface stiffness and smoothness to create a glossy painted exterior and can be applied to truck cabins, mixer truck drums, playground equipment, and various industrial products.
