Teijin to participate in Fire-Safety Tokyo expo 2018
May 25, 2018 - Japan
The Teijin Group is set to exhibit advanced materials and solutions at the Tokyo International Fire and Safety Exhibition 2018, one of the largest exhibitions for the fire and safety industries, in booth 7-47. The Fire-Safety Tokyo, which is held every five years, will take place at the Tokyo international exhibition centre, from May 31 to June 3, 2018.
Visitors are expected to gain a greater appreciation for the Teijin Group’s ongoing initiatives to evolve as a total safety solution provider that is making the society safer with enhanced solutions for disaster prevention and infrastructure development.
The company will show the future safety system for firefighting. The display will include functional turnout gear and rescue wear, such as a smart uniform for firefighters incorporating a sophisticated wearable device that monitors body heat, a cooling vest that protects firefighters with unprecedented heat-resistance, flame-retardance and body-heat reduction, and a new navigation system for emergency vehicles.
Teijin will also display the Teijinconex protective wear. The booth will exhibit protective wear made with Teijinconex meta-aramid fibre, which combines high flame and long-term heat resistance with mobility and comfort. To highlight Teijin’s unique strengths in the firefighting field, innovative protective wear will be modelled on a stage at the booth.
There also will be a virtual reality (VR) corner where visitors can experience wearing protective wear, carrying air cylinders and attempting to put out simulated fires.
The company will be presenting products for disaster mitigation. The booth will present products and solutions for mitigating the effects of disasters, such as Karuten, an ultra-lightweight, earthquake-resistant ceiling material made with V-Lap polyester vertical-type nonwoven fabric, Karukabe, a non-burnable sheet used in smoke-proof walls, and marugotobosai, comprehensive indoor safety platform for disaster mitigation, utilising security-related products provided by Teijin and business partners.
