Ceramic material coatings business

Business

Along with the increasing use of dry construction in line with the increasing number of housing starts, ceramic siding materials have come into wide use as building materials due to their popularity among users for their workability, fire resistance, durability, and design. We will continue to be indispensable to dwellers and society through our business in paints and coatings for ceramic siding materials.

Business overview

About our business areas

Maintaining a substantial market share in ceramic siding construction materials

In Japan, detached houses that use ceramic siding materials or ALC panels account for approximately 75% of all detached houses. We maintain a substantial market share in coatings of these materials. Also in the global market the dry exterior building materials is expected to grow based on the prediction that the world population will reach 10 billion in 30 years. As a supplier in the building materials industry, we intend to make continuous business efforts to bring happiness to society while supporting the approach of avoiding the use of houses as costly consumables.

Offering the value by making the optimal use of decorative coatings

By coating multiple layers on ceramic siding materials involves applying plural layers of coating onto the building material that has surfaces with uneven, we provide decorations that combine various features, including colors, designs, shades, textures, and depth.
These materials come additionally with designs developed by our design department from three perspectives: color, material, and finish. They bring rich expressions and appeal to houses.

Advantages of building material paints and coatings

[ Quality ]

High functionality multiple layers coating is realized layers in factory rather than coating in the field. In addition to conventional weatherability, other functions designed for extending the life of houses will be imparted, such as a self-cleaning effect that washes dust away with rain.

[ Fast delivery ]

In recent years, we are facing the shortage and aging of workmen. Building materials finished in a factory placed under well-managed quality control and installed at the site reduce quality variation otherwise resulting from field work and reduce the construction period. Therefore, these building materials are expected to go mainstream in the future as an engineering method for exterior finishing both in Japan and abroad.

Various coating processes

Gravure printing/Gravure offset printing

These methods applied to printed building materials by rotating a printing cylinder while pouring a paint or ink.
