Preventing Pipe Rust: Hotel Management and Cost Reduction during the COVID-19 Pandemic
The NMR pipe protector is the only one in the world that transforms red rust inside pipes into black rust, improves pipe strength, reduces repair costs by 90%, and extends pipe lifespan by over 40 years.
Today, as the entire society is changing due to the novel coronavirus, one of the most affected industries is the hotel industry. With a decrease in guests, a lack of banquet orders, and restrictions on dining in restaurants, income has drastically fallen. When water leakage issues arise due to rust in the plumbing from the aging of the building, the cost of necessary plumbing updates for repairs becomes very high, forcing hotels to consider borrowing from banks or selling the property. The NMR Pipe Protector, a plumbing longevity device, can reduce that cost to less than one-tenth. Even if sold, the amount will be deducted by the plumbing update costs that will arise in the near future. Hotels that are over 30 years old cannot avoid this issue sooner or later. The only solution to this problem is to compress plumbing update costs to one-tenth to one-fifteenth, extend the plumbing lifespan by over 40 years, and eliminate the need for long-term closures (which require at least six months for air conditioning plumbing updates) through the introduction of the NMR Pipe Protector. By using the world's only rust prevention device, the "NMR Pipe Protector," which converts internal red rust to black rust, improves plumbing strength, and extends plumbing lifespan by over 40 years, plumbing update costs can be reduced by more than 90%.
basic information
The "NMR Pipe Protector" has already been installed in over 80 hotels, including famous ones in the UK such as Hilton Hotels, Marriott Hotels, Royal Garden Hotel, Chiswick Westminster Hotel, Holiday Inn Heathrow, Millennium Hotel, and Mandarin Oriental Hotel, as well as the Halekulani Hotel and Waikiki Park Hotel in Hawaii, and the Legend Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. In Japan, it has been confirmed to have rust prevention effects and has been installed in hotels, including one of the three major hotels established during the Tokyo Olympics in 1964. We hope that the "NMR Pipe Protector" will continue to contribute to the sustainable development of the hotel industry in Japan.

An article advertisement about the NMR pipe protector themed around SDGs has been published in the Mainichi Shimbun.
On September 16, 2022, an article advertisement for NMR Pipe Protectors was published in the morning edition of the Mainichi Shimbun under the theme "Let's Think About SDGs Together." The article introduces an approach to switching from pipe replacement, which has high CO₂ emissions, to extending the life of pipes with zero CO₂ emissions. By keeping the costs of pipe (replacement) construction in condominiums, schools, water facilities, and government buildings to 1/10 to 1/20 of the usual costs, it aims to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all people.

Our article has been published on the electronic publishing platform "MEDIUM"!
An article from our company has been published on the electronic publishing platform "Medium"! Excerpt from "Everything You Need to Know About the Red Rust Prevention Device 'NMR Pipe Protector'" 1) Common water supply pipes in buildings such as apartments deteriorate over time due to red rust, making the red rust prevention device "NMR Pipe Protector" necessary. All buildings, including apartments, hospitals, hotels, and schools, have plumbing for baths, sinks, kitchens, and laundry. The piping material is generally a steel pipe with a vinyl lining (abbreviated as VLP), which has a layer of polyvinyl chloride on the inside, preventing the iron from coming into direct contact with water and thus preventing the occurrence of red rust. However, while there is no red rust in the straight sections of the pipes, red rust can occur at the joints between pipes, at the connections with copper alloy valves, and at the elbow joints made of copper alloy used to bend the pipes at right angles, as these areas come into contact with water. The joints where the piping connects with various components are fastened with screws, and since the threads are on the iron side, they gradually deteriorate due to red rust, leading to a reduction in the number of remaining threads by about half after approximately 20 years. For more details, please see the related links below.

Cosmo Kajigaya Le Seine Mansion Water Supply Pipe Effect Verification of Red Rust to Black Rust Conversion
In Cosmo Kajigaya Le Seine, in 2000, 14 years after its construction, a piping rehabilitation device called "NMR Pipe Protector" was installed to prevent the deterioration of the water supply pipes due to red rust. After conducting a pipe inspection in the 10th year after installation, it was confirmed that the transformation of red rust to black rust had occurred and that the progression of red rust deterioration had completely stopped. Now, 20 years after the installation of the NMR Pipe Protector, and 34 years after construction, there are no issues with red rust in the water supply pipes, and the condition remains excellent.
