Ceramic Insulation Coating"GAINA"
GAINA: Advanced Ceramic Insulation Technology
Brings you the Japanese space technology into Daily Life.
GAINA is a product born from applying Japanese aerospace rocket technology. In 2005, GAINA entered a technical licensing agreement with JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) to utilize rocket insulation techniques.
Leveraging this licensed technology, GAINA developed an innovative insulation coating called GAINA. Unlike typical heat-shielding paints, GAINA’s coating provides excellent insulation by reflecting far-infrared rays. It also delivers soundproofing, anti-condensation, air quality improvement, and fire resistance.
In 2017, GAINA received the 43rd Iwatani Naoji Memorial Award. In 2018, it won the Energy Conservation Grand Prize Judge’s Special Award in the Product/Business Model category.
Additionally, in 2019,GAINA was registered in the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) database under SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) for its sustainable industrial innovation.
Joint research with Tokyo Metropolitan University
An eco-friendly energy-saving technology that keeps you cooler in summer and warmer in winter with just a simple coating.
Inside, GAINA minimizes the temperature difference between cool air conditioning and the coating's surface, lowering heat transfer. This enhances cooling effects.
GAINA is an energy-efficient product that excels at both summer cooling and winter heating, improving comfort day and night, summer and winter. It makes homes more comfortable and energy-efficient year-round.
Prioritizing comfort and work environment
Proven Energy Savings
Tokyo Metropolitan University (TMU) has been working on the development of energy-saving technology for housing as part of the "10-year Project for a Carbon-minus Tokyo" promoted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The project aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 10% in Tokyo by 2030.
One of the projects is constructing a system to reduce energy consumption in urban areas using ceramic materials. Two demonstration buildings, one coated with GAINA paint and the other with conventional paint, were built on the TMU campus. The energy efficiency of the air conditioners in the buildings was evaluated in the summer and winter. The results showed that the GAINA-coated building had energy savings of 26.7% during summer, 21.6% in winter, and 23% for the year.
The findings of this project suggest that GAINA paint can be a cost-effective way to reduce energy consumption in housing. The project is expected to contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions in Tokyo and other cities worldwide.

Enhancing Operational Efficiency and Maintaining Vehicle Quality
GAINA coating has been adopted on the decks of export vehicle carriers that sail from cold to hot regions. The temperature in the deck room decreased from 65 to 38 degrees Celsius after the GAINA coating was applied.
Export vehicle carriers must be resistant to salt damage and ultraviolet rays. GAINA coating has been shown to be effective in these harsh conditions for 17 years without having to be reapplied. As a result, GAINA coating has been adopted on 53 vessels, significantly improving the efficiency of moving operations and helping maintain the quality of vehicles.
In addition, GAINA coating can also protect people from heat. The surface temperature of artificial turf can reach 70 degrees Celsius due to global warming. GAINA coating can block heat from the ground and reduce heat penetration into the feet, allowing people to perform at their best on artificial turf, even in the summer.
