Appendix
Takara standard’s HORO material:
“HORO” is a material that combines the strength of iron with the beauty of glass. Takara standard developed this proprietary HORO material, which overcomes the breakage of glass, over many years. Takara standard’s “High-Quality HORO” showcases the robustness of iron, providing resilience against impacts, while the glass layer acts as a barrier against dirt and moisture. The durability of the enamel surface makes it distinctly different from ordinary enamel pots or other materials.
Until recently, HORO’s surface had a glossy look, however, new products combine enamel with a matt finish. This means Takara can provide a variety of surface design products.
- 10 points that demonstrate the strength of Takara standard’s HORO:
- Can quickly wipe up water, easy to clean
- Resistant to moisture and mold
- Conveniently magnetic and can be used as a family message board
- Very shock and crack resistant
- Thanks to the ink jet printing tech, it is available in a wide range of colors and designs
- The material allows permanent maker pen to be wiped off with water, meaning family can leave temporary messages
- Scratch resistant
- Heat resistant, giving peace of mind
- Environmentally friendly (easily recyclable material; no adhesive used in assembly)
