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.

basic information
【Features】 ○ This is a safe wood preservation method that meets toy safety standards (ST). ○ The finish is more beautiful due to the use of non-toxic materials. ○ It can be injected using a simple thermal bath method because it is a resin that can withstand high temperatures. ○ It has excellent dimensional stability. ○ It has anti-corrosion and anti-termite properties. 【Wood Treatment Process】 1. Immerse the wood (moisture content below 20%) in liquid glass and heat it to 80 degrees Celsius. 2. The wood expands due to heating, releasing internal air and water. 3. After heating, allow it to cool naturally, and the liquid glass is absorbed and adsorbed into the wood.

Company information
Nikko Corporation has researched and developed a complex gel method that reacts in the same way as sol-gel in the aqueous domain for four years, leading to practical applications. The complex gel technology involves reacting silica sol with organic compositions in the aqueous domain to form organic-synthesized silica membranes. The organically modified silica membranes are highly flexible and breathable, allowing for the formation of thick silica membranes (over 20 microns) and the creation of glass-like materials within wood, making it a company that attracts attention with its rich inorganic chemical technologies.
