Breaks down 99% of harmful formaldehyde

Kankyobanzai is a spray product (concentrate) that instantly absorbs, breaks down, and removes formaldehyde, the primary cause of "sick-house syndrome." It decomposes any formaldehyde present in building interiors with remarkable speed. Moreover, it continues to do so for remarkably long. A single spray applied directly to building materials and furniture that emit formaldehyde will continue to break down formaldehyde for over two years. Developed jointly with the Kanagawa Industrial Technology Center, Fomtorl has been tested and demonstrated to be effective by various public organizations.

A volume of 420 ml will cover an area of approx. 10 m2 (6 tatami mats).

In general, spraying for approx. 40 to 50 seconds over an area of just 3.3 m2 will effectively treat an overall area of 10 m2.

Application method

(1) Clean to remove dust or other adhering materials from room walls, ceilings, furniture, and building material surfaces. (2) Vigorously shake the can of Kankyobanzai. (3) Check the direction of the nozzle. (4) Spray starting from the top of the desired area, keeping a distance of approximately 20 cm and moving parallel to the surface.
* Avoid spraying onto clear glass. Open windows to ventilate and dry the room thoroughly. Avoid using the room for at least one hour after spraying.

Hazards posed by formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a highly toxic, carcinogenic chemical. Airborne formaldehyde concentrations of 1 ppm can irritate eyes, while 2 ppm can induce nausea. Formaldehyde is especially hazardous for small children and the elderly. Areas in which formaldehyde is continually emitted must be renovated or removed from use.

Reduces concentrations to the lower measurable limit in only an hour

Kankyobanzai acts immediately. In tests performed at the Kanagawa Industrial Technology Center, airborne formaldehyde concentrations of 9.97 ppm decomposed to 0.24 ppm in 30 minutes. Levels fell to 0.11 ppm in another hour, with absorption and decomposition of approximately 99% of the formaldehyde originally present.
Kankyobanzai has received a rating of "F☆☆☆☆" in formaldehyde emissions ratings tests performed by the Japan Paint Manufacturers Association. It is currently the only spray product in Japan that offers a simple solution for sick-house syndrome.

Water-based mist reduction test

Procedure for test assessing formaldehyde reductions: A sample (dry paint on glass, area 100 cm2) is placed approximately at the center of a glass container (vacuum desiccator with capacity of 11 to 12 liters). The pressure inside the container is reduced and air containing formaldehyde introduced. Air is collected from inside the container after allowing it to stand for a specified duration, after which airborne concentrations are measured. Initial formaldehyde exposure conditions are 30.56 ppm at a temperature of 22°C and humidity of 50%.

Powerful deodorizing and antibacterial properties

Kankyobanzai effectively absorbs and breaks down ammonia and hydrogen sulfide to eliminate odors. Its antibacterial properties prevent mold growth with a simple spray application to walls in humid areas susceptible to mold, like bathrooms.

Track record

Kankyobanzai provides a solution for sick-house syndrome across a wide range of residential and public buildings.
Kankyobanzai has produced positive results at many well-known buildings and sites, including the Tsubaki Nursery (Kohoku-ku, Yokohama), Kandaiji Kindergarten (Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama), and Yagawaso Senior Citizens' Group (Kunitachi, Tokyo).
