♥♥Update♥♥♥ The brochure for the Mortar Spraying Reinforcement Fiber Balchip MK has been refreshed.♥♥♥

It is a polypropylene fiber for mortar reinforcement that excels in workability and chemical resistance.

For crack suppression in slope construction! NETIS registration number: KT-100021-VE. ■ Lightweight and excellent workability. With a density of 0.91g/cm3, it is light, making transportation and mixing easy. ■ Excellent chemical resistance and rust-proof. It has superior alkali resistance and durability. ■ Adhesion to concrete. Embossed processing and hydrophilic treatment improve adhesion and enhance bending toughness. ■ Environmentally friendly. It does not produce dioxins (chlorine gas) when burned. 【Proposal: Weed prevention using reinforced fiber mixed spraying】 At K.F., we propose "weed prevention work using mortar reinforced fiber mixed spraying." Mortar reinforced fiber mixed spraying involves mixing polypropylene fibers for mortar reinforcement, "Balchip MK," with crack suppression polypropylene short fibers, Toughlight RG, and spraying them to further reduce the crack occurrence rate in mortar structures, thereby enhancing durability and reducing lifecycle costs. By performing reinforced fiber mixed spraying on slopes, such as the toe of the slope, more lasting weed prevention effects can be expected.

Construction period and cost reduction possible! This is a lightweight mortar reinforcement fiber that is easy to transport and add compared to steel fibers.

Keif handles products such as polypropylene fibers and vinylon fibers, which are compatible with concrete. "Mortar reinforcement fibers" have good adhesion to cement, making it difficult for cracks to form, and if cracks do occur, they help suppress their growth. The binding force of mortar reinforcement fibers helps prevent the weakening of the structure during freezing, improves freeze-thaw resistance, and enhances long-term durability. 【Benefits of Reinforcement Fibers】 ■ In surface work, the lath application can be omitted, reducing construction time and costs. ■ Lighter than steel fibers, making transportation and addition easier. ■ Being organic fibers, they do not rust and maintain aesthetic appeal. 【Expected Application Scenarios】 ■ Sprayed concrete (surface work, tunnels) ■ Secondary lining ■ Painting work, etc. 【Products Handled】 ■ Kratec ■ Valtip MK, etc. *For more details, please refer to the PDF titled "Essential for Surface Work Contractors! Comparison Table of Mortar Reinforcement Fiber Method and Conventional Methods."

Prevent cracks in slope construction! Safe! Easy! Shortened construction period!

NETIS Registration Number: CG-070010-A "Kuratec" is a vinyl fiber for reinforcing mortar on slopes. By adding "Kuratec," it is possible to cut the lathing work process depending on site conditions, which can shorten construction time and achieve cost reductions. Additionally, it has good adhesion to cement, making it less prone to cracking, and if cracks do occur, it suppresses their growth. Furthermore, the quality of the mortar improves, allowing for a reduction in the thickness of the spray application. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog to view.

―― Is attendance management becoming a "burden" without you realizing it? A seminar to quickly learn about common issues and their solutions ―― We will be holding our attendance management web seminar in October, which takes place several times a year! The content is new, so whether you have participated in our webinars before or not, please feel free to join us. Date and Time: October 15 (Wednesday) 13:00- October 22 (Wednesday) 11:00- *Both days will cover the same content *Please check the link below for registration. In this seminar, we will recreate common situations in the workplace in a short drama format for easy understanding, and introduce specific solutions to each issue. This content is especially recommended for those who think, "I'm not struggling now, but I want to know information for the future." Common workplace "situations" can be a trigger for improvement. We will clearly present the challenges and countermeasures of attendance management. Recommended for: ❏ Those who take a long time to compile monthly attendance ❏ Those who tend to postpone compliance with legal revisions ❏ Those who currently have no major complaints but want to know hints for improvement ❏ Those who want to refer to initiatives and examples from other companies

On Monday, September 22, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced its three-month forecast for October to December. Due to the continued influence of conditions similar to the La Niña phenomenon until around December, the westerly winds are expected to flow more to the north than usual from October to early November, making it likely that warm air will cover the entire country. From late November to December, the westerly winds are expected to meander southward near Japan, and there may be periods when the winter pressure pattern strengthens. In December, the region is likely to be affected by cold air, and temperatures in western and eastern Japan are expected to be around or lower than the average for the season.

PTC Japan will support the CAR and DRIVER team, a car magazine founded in 1978, which will participate in the 36th "Media Challenge Roadster Endurance Race" held at Fuji Speedway on Saturday, October 4, 2025, continuing from last year.

PTC announced today the release of an AI assistant that supports Arena's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Quality Management System (QMS). The Arena AI Assistant provides context-specific expertise and optimal operational methods in a conversational format in real-time for tasks related to Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Quality Management (QMS). This enables user teams to realize value in a shorter amount of time.
