Conscientiousness and Responsibility as a Leading Maker
Nippon Keical is a top maker of calcium silicate thermal insulation material for industrial use.
Our products possess superior insulation and heat resistance capabilities, and we are constantly in pursuit of the development of products that maximize strength and lightness. Our products are widely used in industries such as the domestic and overseas petrochemical industry, thermal and nuclear power plants, and processed steel or municipal garbage incineration plants, and are valued for their contribution to energy conservation.
In recent years, industrial waste has become a major environmental issue. At our company, we were quick to introduce a recycling system for single-use waste calcium silicate thermal insulation material and create a manufacturing process to create our reclaimed insulation material, Recycal. We recycle thermal insulation waste material produced by existing plants.
We hope to make further contributions to environmental and energy conservation issues by being a conscientious and responsible leading maker of thermal insulation materials.
[Our Business Concept]
Continue to earn our customers' trust by producing a reliable supply of definitive quality calcium silicate thermal insulation, conscientiously and responsibly.
