the antifouling effect creates a significant reduction in the use of detergents. With the product, a wide range of construction is possible with a small amount which will greatly reduce indirect carbon related to product transportation and production.
Trade Service Corporation was established in February 1987 as an exporter of electric items and other goods, with its headquarters in Osaka-City, Japan. The business has developed to the point that it is now conducting research on an antifouling coating chemical for aircraft with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
In Suita-city, Osaka-pre, the business was first established as Trade Service Corporation. The company collaborated on the development of the heat-resistant coating agent from 1989 to 1990 with a Research Scholar at the Institute of Aerospace Science/Tokyo University. It was granted a patent for “Method to Process Covering the Heat-resistant/ Oxidation-resistant Coated (Cosmo Coat) Layer Material” in 1994. Later in 1995, the business acquired and moved into its current headquarters building in Yodogawa-ku, Osaka.
In 1999, Trade Service Corp received the application for the “Osaka-pre. Small-and-medium-sized New Industry Creation Law” and the “Osaka-pre. Small-and-medium-sized Management Innovation Support Law”. Fast forward to 2021, the company was awarded by SANWA Research & Consulting/Emerging Company Collegium with the prestigious ‘Market Niche Prize’ award. Currently, Trade Service Corp is spearheading its vision and making a staggering mark within the industry.
Comprehensive Products and Services
Trade Service Corp supports the AD Tech Coat and the COSMO COAT as its two primary products. First off, the AD Tech Coat is designed to be both easy to clean and antifouling. It basically cleans itself through rainwater. The product functions as a single liquid easy coating for professional to residential and household application. It is simple to coat and wipe off, and it is simple to remove grime by simply wiping it with water. Both organic and inorganic surfaces can use it. Additionally, it is anti-dirt, helps to lessen environmental strain, conserves resources, provides CSR, and many more.
Second, the COSMO COAT is a high-temperature coating agent that resists heat. The product is primarily used to stop oxidation corrosion of metal boiler tubes at industrial furnaces, power plants, waste incinerators, biomass power plants, and many other facilities.
A Unique Option for Customers
The AD Tech coat is Trade Service Corp’s most well-known product out of all of its services and goods. The coating is applied to the glass of the solar panel’s cover in order to prevent antifouling and maintain the effectiveness of power generation. The materials used to make the AD Tech coat are entirely inorganic. These include the water-based solvent. As a result, it also guards against fading, colour changes, and UV damage.
Additionally, COSMO COAT from Trade Service Corp. is a distinctive product that can withstand extremely high temperatures while shielding inexpensive metal from high-temperature oxidation. As a result, it might be possible to save costs and reduce plant maintenance. One of the business’s original ideas, which is also covered by a patent, is the product.
Targeted Mission and Vision-Driven Capability
When it comes to its mission, Trade Service Corp.’s top priority is for AD Tech Coat, whose antifouling action is receiving widespread and widespread recognition from the general public. Currently in use, the business’s COSMO COAT aspires to be acknowledged as a thermal spray technology substitute.
Second, the application of the AD tech Coat on inorganic substrates including metal, glass, and ceramics is the company’s main goal. Using the product on organic substrates including paint surfaces, resin surfaces, artificial leather, and many more is also envisioned as a way to transform commonplace substrates into high-value items.
Sustainable and Carbon-Free Future
Currently, technology is at the helm of innovation and development. With that being told, Trade Service Corp is consistently working towards building a sustainable and carbon-free future through the use of technology. The company’s main products are a staggering example of this. Firstly, its AD Tech Coat makes an antistatic effect which further makes it difficult to get dirt. Even if it becomes dirty, it can be washed with water or a very small amount of detergent. Alternatively, it can be cleaned by the self-cleaning effect of rainfall as well. As a result, the antifouling effect creates a significant reduction in the use of detergents. With the product, a wide range of construction is possible with a small amount which will greatly reduce indirect carbon related to product transportation and production. In addition, the material itself is 100% aqueous and composed of inorganic materials, so there is almost no waste generation.
Secondly, the COSMO COAT is composed of 100% inorganic materials based on water solvents. In fact, it has also passed the RoSH and REACH regulations and hence, it reduces waste with its improved durability of coated objects.
Planning Global and Overseas Expansion
Owing to its range of effective and comprehensive offerings, Trade Service Corp successfully ensures optimum client satisfaction. To do this, it makes sure to make it possible to solve problems that were previously considered impossible. Additionally, customers also get to benefit from the high added value by providing unique products.
Since its establishment, Trade Service Corp has successfully catered to its evolving client requirements. In the future, the company aims to continue doing so and has already set certain milestones that need to be achieved in the upcoming years. For its AD Tech Coat, the company aims to target an overseas market and tie up with a company that is expanding into the global market. It plans to do so by aiming to tie up with solar panel manufacturers and housing manufacturers for the domestic market. Regarding the COSMO COAT, Trade Service Corp envisions increased results of application to boiler water tube of biomass power plants and waste incinerators, development of anti-clinker COSMO COAT for refractories, and its analysis mechanism.
In the Lead
At the helm, the team of Trade Services Corp is spearheaded by K.Kishimoto. Being the leader, Kishimoto undertakes various roles and responsibilities to cater to the day-to-day activities by wearing multiple hats. Moreover, he ensures maintaining intact motivation and productivity in the workspace through various effective strategies. In his opinion, being interested in everything, finding out what is not being understood, and finding new issues by going to the site and observing the construction of products results in motivation during work.
As the leader, Kishimoto also contributes to the company’s success, growth, and consistent development.
