Introducing HISTOP: Your New Fire Prevention Companion

In today's world, electrical devices are an integral part of our daily lives, especially in homes and offices. However, with the increased use of power strips and extension cords, the risks associated with overheating outlets and the tracking phenomenon leading to fire accidents have become pressing concerns. A significant number of these fire incidents begin with an invisible state of overheating, escalating to flames before one realizes it. In response to this emerging danger, KOKODA Corporation, based in Ota-ku, Tokyo, has launched an innovative fire prevention sticker named HISTOP via the crowdfunding platform Makuake.

A Proactive Approach to Fire Safety

What sets HISTOP apart from traditional fire safety methods is its proactive approach towards preventing fires before they even start. This fire prevention sticker is designed to be attached to high-risk areas such as outlets, power strips, and adapters where heat tends to accumulate.

When high temperatures (around 130–150°C) are detected, the internal flame-retardant foam rapidly expands to cover the heat source, thereby suppressing the progression of combustion. Notably, no power source or operator input is needed—simply stick it on, and it will function 24/7, requiring no special maintenance or checks. This means that while using electrical devices as usual, you can now prepare for any overheating risks around your outlets.

Seamless Integration into Daily Life

Historically, fire prevention has relied on constant vigilance—remembering to unplug unused appliances or schedules for regular checks. However, HISTOP aims to blend into your daily routine without disrupting it. Designed for effortless installation, it can be fixed in place with no tools required. Even during activation, the material does not leak harmful chemicals, allowing it to maintain contact post-expansion and continue providing protection.

Rigorous Testing for Safety Assurance

HISTOP has undergone extensive testing to ensure that the materials used are durable and safe, even in demanding conditions. Several third-party evaluations have confirmed its properties, including:

• - Ozone resistance test
• - Weather resistance test
• - Fire resistance test
• - Toxic gas emission test (demonstrating minimal release of harmful gases upon ignition)

These rigorous assessments underline the careful material selection and structural design of HISTOP, making it well-suited for both home and office usage.

Flexible Purchasing Options

The project offers various packages to accommodate different needs. Choose from:

• - 15-piece set (suitable for individuals)
• - 30-piece set (ideal for families)
• - 75-piece set (designed for larger homes or multiple locations)
• - 120-piece set (perfect for businesses and facilities)

Additionally, early backers can enjoy a special discount of up to 25% through this crowdfunding initiative. Expected shipping will range from April to June 2026, based on the selected options.

The Vision Behind HISTOP

Developed by the South Korean manufacturer ASAF KUKIL, HISTOP addresses the often-overlooked risks present in our everyday lives. This company has dedicated years of research to material and structural design to ensure safety and reliability. Given Japan's increasing population of elderly households and the commonality of multiple tap usage, there’s a growing need for preventative measures catered to these specific environments.
