For the Advancement of Human of Environmental Health

Wood preservatives comprise two groups of products. One is a special paint for protection and beautification of timber buildings against ultraviolet rays, the elements, and insect damages. Another is a termite control product for conservation of wooden architecture.

XYLADECOR, a wood care paint, protects timber from within because active ingredients exerting antiseptic, antifungal, and insecticidal efficacy, absorb into wood surface. Weather resistant pigments minimize the impact of ultraviolet rays, winds, and rains, thereby maintaining the beauty of wood surface. That is to say, Xyladecor protects wood from inside and outside, drawing forth the inherent beauty and concurrently improving durability. The paint does not form any coating film, which allows a natural finish of wood grain pattern and texture, accentuating the beauty of wood surface. Furthermore, handling and maintenance are virtually effortless.

Termite control products requires assured and sustainable efficacy for extermination and prevention of highly fertile harmful insects. Ensuring safety, however, is equally necessary. XYLAMON and TAKELOCK are formulated with an active ingredient from neonicotinoid series: clothianidin, which is, despite its efficacy, practically harmless to humans and environment. Clothianidine is enclosed in a microcapsule, according to application, to prolong the effectiveness for an extended period of time. FIRST GUARD is another trademark of products based on capric acid for its chief component, which is a natural extract from palm or coconut oil. We have a nationwide network of termite control operators, with broad experience and technical skill.

Wood has been used through the ages as a building material of choice, befitting the Japanese climate. It also brings us a sense of healing and satisfies our aesthetic feeling. This wonderful ligneous material, however, is subject to decay and termite damage. To overcome these weaknesses and to promote effective use of the precious resource for our pleasant living is nothing but a harmonious coexistence between human and nature.
