Liquid glass modified wood - Mokugokoro
Mokugokoro is a modification treatment technology that uses liquid glass that hardens at room temperature to composite wood with glass.
Currently, about 40% of Japan's forests consist of artificial forests planted after the war, primarily made up of coniferous trees such as cedar and cypress. While coniferous trees grow quickly and are easy to process, they have drawbacks, such as lower hardness compared to broadleaf trees, making them more susceptible to termites and decay fungi. By using "Mokugokoro," a liquid glass that penetrates the wood, the glass components adhere to and solidify within the wood, allowing coniferous trees to achieve hardness comparable to that of broadleaf trees. At the same time, its excellent weather resistance prevents water intrusion, significantly enhancing its anti-decay and anti-termite properties. Additionally, because liquid glass is inorganic, it does not impose a burden on the environment and is harmless to the human body. Mokugokoro is a technology that is environmentally friendly and excels in safety and sustainability.
