Award winner
Basic packing for wooden houses
 Applicant: Hoshino Kikaku
Reason for selection:
Synthetic resin is a common material for basic packing of wooden houses. Packing made of stainless steel, which has higher strength than the resin, has been recently developed. 21%Cr, a ferritic stainless steel type, has been adopted for its superb cost performance.Higher strength of stainless steel compared with synthetic resin, has made it possible to narrow the width of vent holes by 9mm, resulting in better quake resistance and elimination of rat trap devices. Other advantages of stainless steel include higher fire resistance and longer product life.The use of this type of packing is steadily on the rise, contributing to increases in stainless steel demand.
Stainless steel types used: 21% Cr stainless steel

Consumption:  Approx. 0.2 kgs per unit
