SOLAMENT
AgriCool Shade™
In today's era of global boiling,
rising temperature threatens agriculture.
It can lead to decreased harvest yields,
and producers are suffering in extreme heat.
Our precious food culture faces an existential threat.
SOLAMENT™ aims to revitalize farming—
starting with next-gen greenhouses
using SOLAMENT AgriCool Shade™.
We seek partners to pioneer
innovative farming practices globally.
ReFarm by SOLAMENT™ is an initiative to reinvent agriculture—
creating diverse solution businesses with partners
to improve crop quality, enhance working conditions,
revitalize rural regions, and drive innovation through advanced technologies.
Field Trial
We have begun collaborative field trials with our partners.
SOLAMENT™ is becoming an essential technology for agriculture in the era of global warming.
"Each year the heat is getting stronger, and traditional cultivation methods no longer work as they once did.
Just like people suffer from heatstroke, crops also have their limits. After much trial and error, we adopted SOLAMENT AgriCool Shade™. It greately reduces the heat stress in tomatoes, allows photosynthesis to continue, and help secure quality.
By lowering cumulative temperature with SOLAMENT™, we can delay harvests, smooth shipping peaks, and stabilize prices—benefiting both consumers and farmers. With rising temperature, adapting crops is getting harder every year, but with technologies like SOLAMENT™, we can continue producing tastier tomatoes."
— Masaru Nakano, NAKANO FARM / Hokkaido
Harnessing the power of the material,
we aim to restore cool environments required for agriculture.
This next-generation shade turns sunlight into an ally,
lowering greenhouse soil temperature by up to 8.5°C in summer*.
It lets through light for photosynthesis while blocking excess heat,
preventing leaf burn and cracking, and improving crop quality.
At the same time, it creates a cooler and comfortable workplace.
This is a forward-thinking option that illuminates the potential of agriculture.

Reduces greenhouse soil temperature by up to 8.5°C
By integrating the material technology SOLAMENT™ into the yarn, it blocks near-infrared light, the main cause of temperature increase. This creates a cooler and more comfortable working environment.
Controls sunlight transmission with advanced weaving technology
With creative weaving methods, multiple variations in the transmission of near-infrared light and visible light are available—allowing selection based on crop type, region, and growing environment.
A technology that lowers temperature while enhancing photosynthesis
SOLAMENT™ blocks near-infrared light and lower temperature, while allowing visible light to pass through. In some cases, this has increased crop yields by 150%.

Outdoor Workwear
ISSUE
Outdoor farm work quickly raises body temperature, causing fatigue and risk of heatstroke. Ultraviolet (UV) and near-infrared light (NIR) also harm the skin. The physical burden of outdoor work is becoming increasingly severe each year.
SOLUTION SAMPLE
By incorporating SOLAMENT™ into workwear fabrics, near-infrared light, which causes heat and skin troubles, is effectively blocked. This ensures a comfortable wearing experience. Additionally, with built-in fans providing air conditioning functionality, it supports comfortable work by continuously delivering heat insulation even in harsh environments. Currently, the production of concept model products is underway.

Food-Related Manufacturers
ISSUE
The rising temperature are causing more vegetables and fruits to be discarded due to cracking and leaf burn. The crops that support our daily lives and food culture are also at risk of reduced production.
SOLUTION SAMPLE
By controlling temperature for each greenhouse through the heat-blocking and heat-generating effects of SOLAMENT™, it becomes possible to supply vegetables and fruits to the market stably while adjusting harvesting times for key crops. This system addresses fluctuations in crop prices caused by supply shortages or surpluses resulting from climate change.

Municipality
ISSUE
Many municipalities struggle with labor shortages and unstable yields from climate change. Furthermore, the future of farming requires not only "production" but also the creation of valuable specialty products that are chosen in the market.
SOLUTION SAMPLE
By comprehensively utilizing heat-blocking shades, tractors, and work sheds all developed with SOLAMENT™ we optimize producers’ working environments and support the stable continuation of agriculture. For example, by branding region-specific crops harvested in this way, we enhance local appeal centered on specialty products, thereby linking agriculture to the revitalization of communities.
