Stable supplies of environmentally friendly materials
This business is focused on inorganic and organic chemicals, including soda products made from the natural resource salt, as well as petrochemical products. We have set up our own caustic soda storage tanks at key sites to be able to respond to customer needs rapidly, which helps us maintain our leading share of the domestic caustic soda market.
We are now actively working on initiatives to build chemical recycling systems and deliver green (environmentally benign) chemicals under the concept of bridging the environment and chemistry.
Products Handled
Inorganic Chemicals
Inorganic chemicals are now used in a wide range of industrial fields in a variety of ways to produce life's necessities of food, clothing, and shelter. For clothing, inorganic chemicals are used as dyes for natural fibers or submaterials in chemical fibers; for food, they are used to purify drinking water or in flavorings; and for shelter, they are used in glass and other materials. We deliver basic chemicals, such as our mainstay electrolysis products that suit our customers’ needs, using optimal distribution methods.
