The Okinawan dialect word “churaumi” means “beautiful sea”.
As the name suggests, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is located right by the vivid blue sea, where you can bathe in the refreshing sea breeze.
While surrounded by beautiful scenery, the aquarium's exterior walls, which are exposed to the strong sunlight and sea breeze, are supported by AGC's coating technology.
Question1Which parts of the building use AGC products?
The exterior walls of the building, which are made of exposed concrete, are coated with a clear paint that uses LUMIFLON™
Normally, when clear paint is applied to exposed concrete, it takes on a color that looks like it has been wet, but this clear paint that uses LUMIFLON™ protects the building from the strong sunlight of Okinawa, while still retaining the texture of the exposed concrete.
Question2Where else is it used?
In addition to buildings, LUMIFLON™ coatings are used in a variety of other applications, including bridges, chimneys, airplanes, and wind turbines for wind power generation.
LUMIFLON™ coatings can also be used to create a range of different colors, from matte to high gloss, and they help to maintain the aesthetic appeal of architectural structures for long periods of time.
