Denka Astec Co., Ltd. will hold a verification facility tour and disaster report event on May 28 in Soka City, Saitama, to showcase 'Dam Armor', Japan's first phase-free underfloor flooding prevention material. Developed in collaboration with disaster prevention expert Takeharu Kodama, the product functions as a foundation sill flashing that maintains ventilation during normal times but automatically expands to block water entry during floods. This innovative mechanism eliminates the need for manual setup with sandbags or water panels during emergencies, ensuring automatic protection against underfloor flooding.
