Alpha Eight is a specialized adhesive developed by ALTECO, utilizing its advanced cyanoacrylate technology to support the unique requirements of traditional Japanese living spaces.
It was designed specifically to prevent fraying and to firmly fix cut edges during the production of tatami mats-an essential element of Japanese interior design.
The product delivers exceptional performance in treating diagonal-cut tatami, decorative tatami, and edge sections, as well as in preventing the loosening of tension threads in the tatami core.
Alpha Eight has become a trusted tool among professional tatami craftsmen across Japan.

When the edge of the tatami mat is pulled, the weave remains tightly closed without separating.
Especially effective for mats with shorter dimensions—tatami surface materials can be fully utilized without the need for folding back.
No warping or spreading with angled, circular, or corner cuts.
Minimize processing time by fast curing (10 seconds).
