I. HUIYA – Office Raised Floor Solution Expert

Changzhou Huiya Decorative Materials Co., Ltd. was founded in 2005 with a registered capital of RMB 60 million. It is a professional manufacturer engaged in the R&D, production, sales, and installation of raised access flooring. HUIYA brand has become a widely recognized and trusted name in the fields of commercial office buildings and integrated data center raised access flooring in China.

Huiya’s factory is located in Henglin Town, Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, only 150 kilometers from the Port of Shanghai, offering convenient logistics for both domestic and international projects. The facility covers over 60,000 square meters and houses eight independent raised access floor production lines, including OA network floor lines, calcium sulphate floor lines, anti-static floor lines, GRC cement floor lines, and ventilated floor lines. The factory can simultaneously produce over 8,000 square meters of various raised access floor products per day, with a combined annual production capacity exceeding 1.2 million square meters. The company has obtained ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001 certifications, and its products comply with the national electronics industry standard GB/T 36340-2018. Huiya has served over 600 project partners and clients to date.

Huiya’s Core Products: Office Raised Access Flooring and Application Scenarios

Huiya’s core product is the office raised access floor system, widely used in Grade 5A office buildings, smart office spaces, data centers, cleanrooms, and other modern architectural environments. The product line encompasses multiple series:

• HUIYA-SC (1000-3000) Steel Cementious Raised Access Floor – Made from premium SPCC cold-rolled steel plate, press-formed and filled with foamed cement as the load-bearing core, paired with HUIYA’s patented green-head pedestal corner-lock design for easy installation and quick disassembly. OA network flooring overcomes the limitations of existing cable management solutions and readily adapts to the demands of rapidly changing network configurations, numerous access ports, low floor-to-ceiling heights, and fire retardancy requirements. It is widely used in large office buildings, intelligent towers, securities halls, government offices, financial institutions, and similar facilities.
• HUIYA-GRC (800-1000) Cement Fiber With Steel Mesh Raised Access Floor – A new-generation network floor product that uses premium cement reinforced with strengthening fibers as its primary material. While maintaining superior fire resistance, it enhances load-bearing performance, with concentrated load capacity increased by one-third compared to traditional network floors. The surface does not use metal materials, providing a feel closer to that of a solid structural slab.
• Calcium Sulphate Anti-Static Floor – Features a high-density calcium sulphate base with four-sided edge banding and an anti-static, wear-resistant top surface treatment. With a concentrated load capacity of 450 kg, it is one of the premium products used in data center facilities of China’s three major telecom carriers.
• Additional high-end series include aluminum alloy raised floors, ceramic anti-static floors, and steel-encased calcium sulphate raised floors.

The fundamental principle of a raised access floor system is to elevate floor panels above the structural slab using specialized pedestals, creating an adjustable-height void space between the panels and the slab. This void is the key to enabling smart modern office spaces, power cables, low-voltage wiring, fiber optic communications, HVAC piping, and other utility services can all be freely routed and flexibly reconfigured within this space. Individual floor panels can be lifted for maintenance access without damaging the floor surface.

Huiya raised access flooring has been featured in numerous landmark projects, including the Shanghai Huanchuang Center, the Shanghai Beiyang AI Town AI Innovation Office Space, the Nobilia Asia-Pacific Super Factory (Germany), the Siemens Medium-Voltage Smart Digital Factory (2,500 m² of ECS1000 six-sided steel-encased calcium sulphate raised access flooring in a high-end application), and the Chayora Greater Shanghai Data Center in Taicang, Suzhou.

In all raised access floor systems, the bond between the pedestal and the subfloor is an important factor in ensuring the stability and long-term reliability of the entire system. Particularly under floor conditions where drilling is not permitted (such as above waterproof membranes or on post-tensioned slabs), a high-performance pedestal adhesive becomes the sole and optimal anchoring solution. This is precisely the core motivation behind the Huiya team’s visit to the KONISHI Suzhou factory to gain a thorough understanding of the KU928C-X pedestal adhesive.

II. Trumshi – Innovative Pioneer in Adjustable Deck Supports / Pedestals

Zhejiang Trumshi New Materials Co., Ltd. was established in 2018 with a registered capital of RMB 10 million. Headquartered in Hangzhou, it is one of the first manufacturers of adjustable deck supports (pedestals) in China. The company integrates design and R&D, production, sales, after-sales service, and technical support, and operates self-owned factories in multiple locations across the country. Trumshi has introduced advanced European production equipment and established an R&D center in Hangzhou dedicated to the development of elevated support systems and solutions. With a factory area of 5,000 square meters and 15 professional production lines, Trumshi’s products are now widely exported to Europe, the Americas, Australia, and other overseas markets, and have been adopted by numerous prominent domestic and international projects.

Trumshi’s Core Products: Adjustable Pedestals and Application Scenarios

If Huiya’s raised access floor systems address the floor elevation needs of indoor office spaces, then Trumshi’s adjustable pedestals primarily serve the elevated paving needs of outdoor and landscape environments. While the two share the same underlying technical principles, their application environments and technical challenges differ.

Trumshi’s adjustable pedestals adopt a modular design philosophy, flexibly combining base plates, extension columns, adjusting screws, head pieces, spacer tabs, and slope correctors. Millimeter-level height fine-tuning is achieved by rotating the adjusting screw, ensuring a perfectly level surface even when the substrate has significant elevation differences or drainage slopes. Surface materials such as stone, porcelain tiles, and treated wood decking are simply placed on top of the pedestal heads, enabling “dry installation.” The void space beneath can accommodate drainage pipes, electrical conduits, irrigation systems, and other services, while also facilitating ventilation protection and maintenance access for the underlying waterproof membrane.

Products are widely applied in outdoor terraces, rooftop gardens, pool surrounds, commercial plazas, landscape platforms, water feature projects, and similar settings. In addition, Trumshi also supplies stainless steel decorative manhole covers, stainless steel edge trims, slot-type stainless steel grating covers, high-strength resin drainage channels, and HDPE drainage channels, providing customers with a one-stop landscape building materials solution.

In both outdoor landscape and indoor elevated systems, the bond between the adjustable pedestal and the substrate is equally critical to the long-term reliability of the elevated system, creating a natural synergy between Trumshi and KONISHI in the pedestal adhesive space.

IV. Spotlight on KONISHI KU928C-X – A Breakthrough Product in Raised Access Floor Pedestal Adhesives

The core topic of this visit was an in-depth discussion of the KONISHI KU928C-X raised access floor pedestal adhesive. This product is a high-performance moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive specifically designed for bonding raised access floor pedestals to the subfloor.

Strategic Positioning Across Two Major Market Segments

During the three-party exchange, Huiya and Trumshi conducted in-depth discussions on the KU928C-X pedestal adhesive across the following two application segments:

International Market Strategy: Benchmarking Against Seal Bond 95 to Penetrate the Global Raised Access Floor Adhesive Market

During the visit, all three parties placed particular emphasis on discussing the international market promotion strategy for the KU928C-X pedestal adhesive. In the global raised access floor pedestal adhesive market, the American product Seal Bond 95 is currently the most representative benchmark product.

Seal Bond 95 is positioned as a “High-Performance Pedestal Adhesive,” with key selling points including:

• Proprietary moisture-curing formula
• The only pedestal adhesive rated for installation in seismic zones
• NFPA Class A / UBC Class 1 fire rating
• Ultra-low VOC of only 17 g/L
• 100% solids content with no solvents and no odor
• Eligibility for LEED E.Q. 4.1 Low-Emitting Materials credits

However, after a detailed comparative analysis of KU928C-X and Seal Bond 95 product performance by all three teams, the unanimous conclusion was that KONISHI KU928C-X fully possesses the comprehensive capability to compete head-to-head with Seal Bond 95 and achieve market substitution:

Comparison Dimension	Seal Bond 95	KONISHI KU928C-X
Chemical Basis	Proprietary Polymer	Moisture-Curing Polyurethane
Substrate Range	Metal, Concrete, Composites	Metal, Concrete, Plastics, Waterproof Membranes, etc.
Elasticity & Flexibility	Elastomeric	Elastic Bonding System
VOC Level	17 g/L	Low VOC (compliant with JIS standards)
Seismic Suitability	Claims highest seismic rating	High bond strength + elastic system, with seismic potential
Packaging Options	10.3 oz / 28 oz cartridges, 1/2 gallon pails	Cartridges, compatible with dedicated applicator guns and base adhesive trays
Brand Credibility	American domestic brand with deep North American market presence	Century-old Japanese adhesive industry leader with strong global technical credibility
Local Production in China	No (imported)	Yes (local production at Suzhou factory)
Price Competitiveness	Import pricing, higher cost	Manufactured locally in China, with significant supply chain cost advantages

According to an industry article published on Seal Bond’s official website, “Common Sealant Failures in Raised Access Floors,” the four most common causes of raised access floor sealant/adhesive failure include:

1. Poor Substrate Preparation – dust, oil contamination, residual moisture affecting adhesion;
2. Incompatible Materials – raised access floors involve concrete, metal panels, composite materials, and other diverse substrates;
3. Incorrect Cure Time or Application – non-standard temperature/humidity conditions, improper adhesive quantities;
4. Movement or Panel Shifting – heavy equipment loads, foot traffic vibration, thermal expansion and contraction, causing rigid adhesives to crack.

These industry pain points are precisely the areas where the KONISHI KU928C-X can make a targeted entry. As a moisture-curing elastic adhesive combining high bond strength with flexibility, KU928C-X delivers excellent bonding performance across multiple substrates and is fully capable of competing directly with Seal Bond 95 on product performance.

Of particular note is that the KONISHI KU928C-X, backed by Keyang Suzhou factory’s localized Chinese production capability, holds inherent advantages over Seal Bond 95’s U.S. import model in terms of supply chain responsiveness, logistics costs, and delivery lead times. For Chinese manufacturers like Huiya and Trumshi who serve global markets, the ability to domestically procure a pedestal adhesive with performance equal to or even superior to leading international brands, whether for export bundling or domestic project service, greatly enhances the competitiveness and convenience of their overall solutions.

Outlook on International Market Expansion Strategy and Collaboration

All three parties agreed to advance cooperation in bringing the KU928C-X pedestal adhesive to international markets along the following directions:

1. ✅ Completing the Product Certification Framework – Pursue relevant testing and certification for KU928C-X in line with green building standards (such as LEED and CHPS) and fire safety standards (such as NFPA and UBC) for European and American markets, eliminating market access barriers.
2. ✅ Establishing a Diversified Packaging System – Referencing the multiple packaging formats offered by Seal Bond 95 (cartridge and pail options), provide flexible packaging choices for projects of different scales.
3. ✅ Leveraging Channel Synergies – Huiya’s engineering channels and brand accumulation in the domestic raised access floor sector, combined with Trumshi’s customer network in overseas adjustable pedestal markets, can build an efficient market promotion pathway for KU928C-X.
4. ✅ Differentiated Competitive Positioning – Fully leverage KONISHI’s brand reputation and technological advantages in the Japanese market, adopting a “Japanese Quality, Made in China” supply chain model to create a compelling alternative to Seal Bond 95 on value-for-money.
5. ✅ Technical Service Support – Provide multilingual (Chinese, English, Japanese) technical documentation and installation guidance, coupled with sample trial programs, to lower the decision-making threshold for overseas customers.
