Toagosei Advocates Total Maintenance Solutions

Achieving a sustainable society has become a global challenge. In the field of construction, Toagosei has played a part in this by promoting the effective use of building stock and extending the service life of buildings. While various solutions are being sought, Toagosei is tackling this issue by advocating Total Maintenance to protect and extend the service life of entire buildings with its highly functional product lineup based on its original acrylic technology.

Currently, Toagosei has a lineup of ARONCOAT SQ for roof waterproofing of buildings, ARONWALL for decorative waterproofing of exterior walls of RC and ALC, and with the announcement of CLEARWALL, which enables waterproofing and renovation of tiled exterior walls, waterproofing and renovation work for most types of RC and S construction The new CLEARWALL can be used for waterproofing and refurbishment of almost all types of RC and S construction.

Total Maintenance concept to protect the asset value of buildings

We advocate the concept of Total Maintenance of buildings, in which roofs, walls, and tiled exterior walls are all covered with acrylic rubber-based coating waterproofing materials with outstanding durability, and are promoting the expansion of the market for this unique method of construction.

It protects the building frame while maintaining the building's aesthetics and preventing deterioration of the concrete. This leads to extending the life of the building and protecting the asset value.

Accumulation of product lines backed by technology and demonstration tests

Our building materials business has a history of more than 50 years since we launched acrylic rubber-based coated waterproofing materials in 1973. As a chemical manufacturer, we have been able to utilize our strengths such as integrated production from the raw material acrylic acid and acrylic polymer polymerization technology, and together with the responsible construction system of the All-Alon Waterproofing Association, we have installed more than 100 million m2 to date.

Deterioration of buildings is affected by temperature and the surrounding environment. We have conducted joint research with universities and research institutes in various regions, from Hokkaido to Okinawa, on measures against frost damage, salt damage, and neutralization, and have confirmed the performance of our products in various regions. At the same time, we have taken in feedback from construction associations to improve the quality of Total Maintenance from a comprehensive perspective.

Responsible Construction System

Generally, the waterproofing contractor for the roof and the painting contractor for the exterior walls are different. Furthermore, when the manufacturers of the materials used are also different, the responsibility of the two parties becomes unclear, and defects can occur. The reason why Total Maintenance has adopted a licensed responsible construction system is to prevent such defects, to prevent performance deterioration due to inadequate construction, and to enhance reliability.

Reduced Life Cycle Costs

Usually, in building maintenance, the timing of roof and exterior wall renovations are staggered, each time incurring the cost of scaffolding and nets for construction. On the other hand, with Total Maintenance, since the same contractor installs highly durable products using the same material manufacturer, it is possible to refurbish the roof and exterior walls at the same time during a large-scale repair project, and the durability and ease of maintenance of these products help reduce building life-cycle costs.
