PERFORMANCE MATERIALS

PERFORMANCE MATERIALS

Performance materials field with businesses deployed in quinones, esters, pharmaceutical processing, carbon materials, and pharmaceutical and agricultural chemicals.
We are deepening relationships of trust with our customers by leveraging their respective strengths, including quinone products which are the only ones in the world to be commercially produced and sold, an ester business, which boasts an overwhelming share of the domestic market thanks to esterification technology and development capabilities nurtured over many years, a chemical processing business which has established an advanced production management and quality control system based on a wide range of liquid preparation and filling equipment and many years of experience in manufacturing photo processing chemicals a carbon materials business which makes its presence felt as the only manufacturer of thermal expansive graphite in Japan, and a pharmaceutical and agricultural chemicals business able to propose high-yield processes.

  • Pharmaceuticals

  • Rigid urethane foam molded products using MAXIMOL® as the raw material

  • TEG (Thermally expandable graphite)
