Housing Environment

Sumitomo Riko's "TRC Damper" seismic control system helps protect people's safety and everyday lives. Installed in a wide range of structures, from wooden houses to high-rise buildings, it absorbs earthquake vibrations and significantly reduces building movement during earthquakes. In addition, "Refleshine", our heat-reflective and insulating window film, is used not only in factories and offices but also in railway vehicles and automobiles, helping to create comfortable interior environments.

Seismic damping and vibration control Devices

Sumitomo Riko is also deploying its polymer materials technology in devices for the housing environment. "TRC Damper" reduces shaking and deformation caused to buildings during earthquakes. A special viscoelastic rubber, developed using our advanced compounding technology, used in the dampers reduce shaking by instantly converting earthquake energy into thermal energy.

1Vibration control systems for buildings "TRC Damper"

This damping device uses a unique material developed by Sumitomo Riko that features low stiffness and high damping performance, making it effective in reducing vibrations ranging from minor disturbances (such as wind) to earthquake motions.This capability makes it suitable for mid- to high-rise buildings, such as office towers and condominiums.

2Seismic control systems for wooden houses "TRC Damper"

Seismic control system to reduce damage to wooden houses during earthquakes. The energy from earthquakes is instantly converted to thermal energy to reduce shaking. These dampers are not only suitable for new houses, but can also be applied to existing structures, and they are effective against repetitive quakes such as from aftershocks.

3Dampers for traffic vibration mitigation "Multi-type TMD:Tuned Mass Damper"

This device reduces the lateral shaking caused by nearby traffic or other sources of vibration inside or outside the house. Its mass moves in the direction opposite to that of the vibration of the building, thus canceling the vibration.

4Heavy Floor Impact Noise Countering Dampers

This device reduces noise from the floor above, for example, the noise of children jumping or people walking around, by the complex damping effect of springs, mass, and high-damping rubber. It absorbs vibration and mutes noise transmitted to lower floors in condominiums and two-family houses.

Window Films

Window films reflecting and insulating against heat "Refleshine"

This window film keeps heat from sunshine out in summer (heat shielding) and stops indoor heat from escaping in winter (heat insulation). It combines UV-cut performance with safety in the event of a glass break, improving comfort year-round near the windows and contributing to savings in air-conditioning power. Aside from building applications, it is also being increasingly used in railway vehicles and automobiles.
