"Floor of Large Logistics Facility" Featured in Modern Architecture! "Special Feature" Planning and Design of Logistics Facilities February 2024 Issue 'Permeable Concrete Surface Hardener Seal Hard'

The floor of the Super Center PLANT Kurobe store was constructed with "Seal Hard Premium." It features a combination of good appearance, high durability, and low maintenance.

The supercenter PLANT Kurobe store (Toyama Prefecture), which opened in October 2020, has been constructed using Seal Hard Premium. Since Seal Hard has been adopted for store floors by PLANT for over 20 years due to its lower construction and maintenance costs compared to P tiles, recent stores have shifted to long sheet vinyl and P tiles for reasons such as lack of color and cleanliness. The reason Seal Hard was adopted again for the Kurobe store is due to advancements in polished concrete technology, which allows for the creation of clean-looking floors. This project was undertaken by our construction department as the main contractor, with a focus on concrete quality from the very beginning. During the pouring process, we used "Moacrite: fluidizing without adding water" and "E-CON: pouring aid" to reduce trowel marks and cracks, aiming for a uniform appearance. At the finishing stage, we performed "SSP-100: joint filling" to prevent debris accumulation and corner chipping in the joints. The PLANT Kurobe store boasts one of the highest levels of concrete flooring in commercial facilities in Japan. Seal Hard contributes to both cost efficiency and maintenance while achieving a beautiful floor finish. We hope you will visit the PLANT Kurobe store.

The floor of the logistics center is constructed with the "Seal Hard Standard Specification." This is the basic standard specification of Seal Hard. It is a floor finish that is supported in domestic logistics.

The flooring of the logistics center was constructed using the standard specification of "Seal Hard." The customer is a company that consistently handles the provision, inbound and outbound storage, and transportation of the logistics center, and they chose "Seal Hard." What stood out during our meetings was the customer's request for a "high-quality, strong floor." There are many surface hardening agents available domestically. For 27 years, we have consistently focused on "quality." We thoroughly penetrated and reinforced the concrete with "Seal Hard." While applying the material generously increases the labor involved due to residue removal, it also enhances the "strength of the floor = quality." We were particularly pleased that the customer prioritized quality and arrived at "Seal Hard," which motivated us in our work. In the logistics center, the size and the lack of other equipment make the floor stand out. We performed careful polishing, applied "Seal Hard" to the maximum penetration limit, ensured adequate curing time, and did not forget to remove any residues. By faithfully adhering to the basics and not skimping on effort, we achieved a finish that has gloss and a sense of cleanliness, even with the standard specification. We hope that when you seek quality flooring, "Seal Hard" will be the first thing that comes to mind.

A skate park highly praised by skaters with a concrete surface finish. The smooth concrete surface is perfect for skating and lasts long even outdoors!

◆Conventional Pavement Many skate parks are made with concrete surfaces, but they have not been finished to a particular standard until now. As a result, they remain vulnerable to erosion from rainwater and wear from skating. Even with maintenance, the concrete surface deteriorates due to rainwater erosion, becoming rough within just 2 to 3 years, making it increasingly difficult to skate on and posing a risk of injuries such as scrapes from falls. ◆Towards a Water-Resistant and Highly Abrasion-Resistant Pavement In response, Willby has developed a specification suitable for skate park surfaces called "Seal Hard Skate Park Specification," combining the concrete floor finishing technology it has cultivated over many years. Seal Hard is a concrete surface hardener with numerous achievements in flooring for logistics facilities since 1994. It dramatically improves the abrasion resistance of concrete surfaces and transforms them into surfaces that can withstand wear from vehicles like forklifts. However, Seal Hard is weak against rainwater, and on its own, it is not suitable for outdoor use. Therefore, a specification for skate parks was developed that combines the removal of the weak surface layer through "grinding" and a water absorption suppressor, "AquaPel Plus," to resist rainwater.
