The 7,000 square meter deck on the rooftop of Yokohama Osanbashi has adopted a splinter-resistant and slip prevention method, which is also used for wooden decks in kindergartens, nursery schools, and elementary schools to prevent splinters and slipping.
The Woodless Rescue Deck is a water-based glass-type polysiloxane coating that forms colloidal glass for wood. It has been adopted for the splintering and slip prevention method on the rooftop deck of Yokohama's Osanbashi, effectively preventing splintering of Ipe wood through inorganic film formation (over 20 microns). It ensures a slip resistance effect of CSR 0.7 or higher and meets the standards for urban development in welfare in Tokyo. It is also used to prevent splintering and slipping on wooden decks in nursery schools, kindergartens, and elementary schools. Conventional polysiloxane resin coatings are distributed with silanes in an alcohol solvent, resulting in low viscosity and difficulty in forming inorganic films. However, by making it water-based, it has become easy to apply an inorganic coating of over 20 microns to wood. Furthermore, it can be produced at one-third the price of conventional glass-type coatings. There is also abundant test data from third-party organizations, including tests for termite resistance, slip resistance (CSR 6.0 or higher), JASS 18M307 tests, and toy safety standards (ST). Additionally, coloring can be done easily, dramatically enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the wood. ■ Free sample samples are currently available! Please contact us for details. ■

basic information
Conventional glass paints are made by dispersing alkoxysilanes in alcohol as a solvent, and they form a glassy material through the sol-gel method via hydrolysis. The glass obtained here has no elasticity, which leads to issues such as cracking or turning white, making it unsuitable for materials like wood. (There are methods for penetration, but they do not perform well.) Wood Rescue is Japan's only water-based inorganic wood protection paint that has been commercialized without being constrained by the aforementioned sol-gel method. It forms colloidal glass by pre-forming a complex gel in aqueous solution and then drying it. The film obtained here has excellent elasticity and can be produced at one-third the cost of conventional glass-based paints. By using an aqueous solution, it is less prone to unevenness, has good colorability, and allows for free control of film thickness! It also has a low odor, enabling work without concern for fire hazards.

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.
