4 Major Benefits of SUSANOH
SafetyFunctionality

Self-extinguishing without burning

Antiseptic / Ant / Antifungal effect

The part that hits the flame turns red and carbonizes, but theflame does not rise and it does not spread.
The fire is extinguished as soon as it separates from the flame.

Since the main component of the non-combustible treatment
material is boric acid and borax, which are widely used overseas,high antiseptic and anti-termite effects can be expected.

No harmful smoke or gas is emitted during evacuation＊The effect was also confirmed in an antifungal test at the Comprehensive
Antibacterial Research Institute.

Even if it is hit by a flame, it emits almost no harmful smoke orgas and does not interfere with evacuation in the event of a fire.

Increased strength

Does not cause sick house syndrome

Improve the air environment with the negative Air
Ion effect＊Proven in gas toxic mouse experiments at the time of MLITT "non-combustible
material" certification

Since it does not use organic compounds (formaldehyde, etc.), it
does not cause sick house syndrome.

＊From July 1, 2003, it is not subject to formaldehyde-emitting building
materials regulated by the Building Standards Act.

Increases bending strength and compressive strength

Wood has a higher negative air ion effect than other building
materials, and non-combustible processed materials are evenmore effective for that purpose.

Uses domestic thinned wood with few knots
As the raw material wood, it is difficult for the knots to be
impregnated with the non-combustible treatment liquid, so weuse wood with few knots.
It also increases the value of thinned wood and contributes tothe promotion of effective use.

Carbonization
When exposed to flames, the surface of SUSANOH will carbonize
and suppress the generation of CO2.
＊Approximately 50-80% reduction in carbon generationcompared to untreated wood

Variety of processing and painting variations
Corresponds to various designs by processing such as finishingand painting

Thorough quality control
Non-combustible wood is a material related to human life and safety
Therefore, thorough quality control is required. In particular, since the raw material is natural
wood and uneven, we perform strict non-destructive inspections on all products and ship only
those that meet our standards.
It is a product that has acquired the "Association Recommended Certification No. 1" for quality
control of non-combustible performance by the Urban Disaster Prevention and Non-combustibleAssociation.

Handling Precautions
1. Because it is a natural material, the color, unevenness, and pattern will differ from one sheet to another.
2. Because it is made from natural wood, there may be some twisting, warping, and dimensional differences.
3. This product is for interior use. It is recommended to apply urethane coating when using.
4. It is recommended to store and use the product in a place that is well-ventilated and out of direct sunlight, avoiding high humidity.
5. This product weighs about twice as much as ordinary cedar wood, and the material is also hard. Be especially careful when transporting and working as thecorners are easily damaged. Also, please note that when using tools (especially electric), the load will be higher than that of general wood. When attachingwith nails, screws, etc., there is a risk of cracking, so make a guide hole with a drill etc. before proceeding.
6. Due to the nature of this product, the sawdust generated during processing will be fine powder, so be careful not to inhale it or get it in your eyes or ears
during work.
7. Due to the nature of this product, the surface may appear white, but there is no abnormality in performance and quality. In that case, wipe it off with a cloth.
8. When disposing of this product, dispose of it as a combustible material if it is about the amount of household waste. If the amount is larger than that, pleasedispose of it according to the classification of each municipality.

Handling Precautions
1. Since it uses natural wood powder (domestic cedar), it has a woody scent. Please be careful if you are sensitive to scents
2. This product is for indoor use.
3. Avoid using in places where it is easily exposed to water or where it is humid (dressing room, kitchen sink area). It may cause peeling.
4. If there is a risk of rust such as nails, apply rust preventive.
5. Dry thoroughly after surface treatment
6. Apply lye / stain-preventing plaster to the entire surface of the base where lye / stain is likely to occur.
7. Stain may occur in the case of alkaline base
8. Avoid long-term storage of the kneaded material. Also, wash the tools you use with water as soon as possible.
9. The color may change due to sunlight or ultraviolet rays.
10. Avoid construction on a base that does not absorb moisture (glass surface, PVC cloth, etc.)
11. This product takes a long time to dry, so please improve the ventilation at the site.
12. If any scratches occur during construction, repair them immediately. It may cause color unevenness.
13. Be careful not to accidentally put it in your mouth or eyes. If swallowed or get in your eyes, wash thoroughly with water and see a doctor immediately.
14. Because it is a natural material, the color difference is remarkable depending on the lot. Please order the amount to be used at one time
15. Use non-combustible material (excluding metal plate), plaster board, calcium silicate board, gypsum lath board, etc. for the base material.

CELL-FUNEN Various Materials
Technology that does not cause a fire even if equipment failure, material deterioration, or human error occurs■ Suppresses smoke and toxic gas that does not cause a fire
■ In addition to the function of taking in moisture and self-extinguishing when fire heat is applied, the function of melting non-combustible components toprevent contact with oxygen, and the synergistic effect of both do not spread the fire without burning.
■ The untreated material burns to ash, but by applying non-combustible treatment, the carbonized surface is coated with glass to suppress the generationof CO2.
■ Reduces carbon generation by 50-80% compared to untreated carbon and immobilizes carbon
