Launch of Remanufactured

Celluloid

Recycling

Remanufactured celluloid is made by making recycled celluloid sheets from the waste celluloid produced when processing new celluloid sheets (average of 20%

of waste celluloid is generated). Orders from processors boomed for these recycled celluloid sheets after the recycled product was praised for having almost the same high-quality as new celluloid sheets.

1955

Launch of Rigid Vinyl Chloride

Sheet Sales

Our research into vinyl chloride resin as flame-retardant materials began in 1948 to overcome the shortcomings of celluloids. TAKIRON Plate started sales in 1955 as a rigid vinyl chloride sheet. We began to manufacture rain gutters in 1957, rigid vinyl chloride corrugated sheet with extrusion processing in 1958, and polycarbonate plate in 1961. We also transitioned metal products (galvanized iron sheet/tin rain gut- ters) to light plastics which does not rust.

causes diseases in crops. We set

out to prevent fog and mist in greenhouses from around 1976 in light of feedback from farmers about mist forcing them to wear rain gear during work and other such concerns. After three years of testing, our research discovered a way to mitigate mist by applying a special silicone to change the disposition of wet film surfaces. This led to the acquisition of a patent and the start of Sky 8 sales in 1978.

Water-sealing/Waterproofing Panels and Shields

A specialized production method succeeded in blending and molding composite and water-absorbing resins. These panels and shields swell in water to obstruct the penetration of ground water. The product is used as segment sealant in underground tunnels and waterproofing for concrete joints. Today, water sealing materials are used in subway construction throughout Asia.

1995

PVC Stair Treads with Sound

Absorption and Slip Resistant Function TAKISTEP

Safe Even Under Outdoor Rainy Condition

Inspired by customers' potential requests for more safe stepping on slippery steel/metal staircases, TAKISTEP - sound absorption and slip resistant PVC stair tread was developed and launched in 1995.

Indeed that happened often for a first-ever product, TAKISTEP also led problems/complaints in the initial phase, however, we have tenaciously addressed solutions for problems. These our efforts improve TAKISTEP as a stable and safe product, and create the unique installation procedure.

We also have continued to revamp quality of materials, product design, procedure of nosing form by trial productions over and over. After all these trials and errors, the unique features of TAKISTEP are recognized widely in indoor and outdoor flooring sector.

Launch of Lume Carbo

Large Polycarbonate

Plastic Double-layer Panel

Lightweight and Highly Rigid

with High Heat Insulation

The Lume series provides a lineup products to drive energy savings by

ting plenty of natural light into Lume Wall ings while dramatically reducing the

heat lost from openings. Applications include Lume Wall and Lume Roof.

2021

Release of Belbien (Fireproof

Launch of Flame-retardant Plastic Sales

Contributions to Fire Safety

We developed and started sales of the FM Plate product, which conformed to the FM4910* flame- retardant property standard enacted after a large-scale fire at an overseas semiconductor plant. FM Plate forms a carbon layer that acts as an oxygen shield against fire heat source. This enhances safety against fire by preventing the spread of fire and smoke.

• The FM4910 is a flame-retardant standard for materials used in semiconductor plants and other clean rooms established by the FM Global insurance company in the United States to prevent fires.

These products have an antibacterial activity value of 2.0 or higher and reduce at

least 99% of viruses. This inhibits the growth of bacteria and viruses which in turn contributes to maintaining more hygienic environments.
