basic information
Our "Kimamori Senka Sugi no Akami Kesh" has been developed as a paint that can make the red heartwood of cedar appear finished like solid white sapwood with just one coat. This solves the visual issues associated with cedar's red heartwood, allowing it to be used as a "finishing material" just like solid white sapwood. It also contributes to improving the aforementioned "supply-demand gap of cedar's red and white heartwood." Furthermore, by applying this paint, we can leverage the weather resistance of the red heartwood, preventing the graying (silver graying) of cedar over a long period and maintaining its aesthetic appeal. Additionally, it has high coloring properties, allowing it to effectively color the red heartwood, which is generally said to be difficult to color, achieving a finish similar to that of solid white sapwood. It can also uniformly color the distinctly separated red and white of the Genpei wood to a similar hue. 【 Types and Uses 】 ■ "Kimamori Senka Sugi no Akami Kesh" will be available in three types: "HARD," "SUPER HARD," and "WOOD PROTECT."

Applications/Examples of results
The use of wood in residential construction predominantly involves domestic cedar wood. However, even within cedar, the parts that can be used as finishing materials are limited. It is said that about 60-70% of cedar wood consists of heartwood, which is the reddish part. While heartwood has a high density and is in demand as structural material, its appearance tends to be prickly, leading to a tendency to avoid it as a finishing material for interiors and exteriors. To make better use of this heartwood, we believe that the unique paint 'Kimamori Senka Cedar Heartwood Finish', which makes it look like sapwood, can promote the effective utilization of wood. Although this paint is described for cedar due to its high circulation, it can also be similarly applied to other types of wood such as red pine and cypress, allowing for a beautiful design finish akin to sapwood. 'Kimamori Senka Cedar Heartwood Finish' will address aesthetic issues and challenges in the utilization of various types of wood.
Company information
In 2003, the Building Standards Act was revised, and regulations regarding sick house syndrome were strengthened. However, rather than eliminating sick house syndrome, the number of cases is still on the rise. This is because, no matter how much the content of harmful chemicals in existing chemical-based paints and adhesives is reduced, their harmful effects on the human body remain. Our company manufactures and sells products made from 100% natural materials for paints and adhesives used in wooden parts of houses. We use "nikawa" (animal glue), which has been utilized as an adhesive since ancient times, as the main raw material, and we process it with Aomori hinoki oil and other materials to create our products. Currently, there is a growing trend of use among builders who prefer additive-free products, construction companies that utilize locally sourced domestic timber, and public projects such as schools and daycare centers.
