Research & Development Policy
Our company will make every effort to improve products and develop new products to meet diversifying needs of its customers concerning the acrylonitrile business inherited from Mitsubishi Chemical Corp., Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd. (that took over Nitto Kagaku Co., Ltd.), and Dia Floc Co., Ltd., on the basis of many superior technologies fostered over many years by these companies.
Our Philosophy of Research & Development is:To contribute to improvement of living environment by pursuing earth-friendly chemicals.
Our Basic Policy of Research & Development is:1. Development of catalysts and processes of acrylonitrile products2. Development of new products and applications of water-soluble polymer3. Enhancement and improvement of customer satisfaction


Research & Development Bases and Activities
Research Laboratory
This laboratory is mainly developing new products to carry the future of our company as its main base for research & development related to acrylic monomer.
It is located within Chemical Development Laboratory (Tsurumi-ku Yokohama) of Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd. and is promoting research & development of catalysts and processes related to acrylonitrile and bio-method acrylamide.
Especially for the bio-method acrylamide process, the biotechnology was industrially applied on general-purpose chemicals for the first time in the world by the former Nitto Kagaku Co., Ltd. that led to winning many prizes.
In the future as well, we will promote our research activities to further develop unique technologies while effectively utilizing the research resources of the parent company.

Mizushima Research Laboratory
This laboratory is located within Mizushima Business Place (Kurashiki-shi Okayama Prefecture) of Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. and is engaged in research & development of acrylonitrile catalysts in close cooperation with Technical Research Laboratory in Yokohama.

Technology Center
This laboratory is located within Chemical Development Laboratory (Tsurumi-ku Yokohama) of Mitsubishi Rayon Co.,Ltd and is active as the central base for technology development of polymer business and technical services.
It developed epochal high-molecular flocculants including amphoteric type and amidine polymer, and has developed 2-way system, a sludge treatment system, utilizing its characteristics.
Presently, it is improving these unique technologies and endeavoring to create a clean environment by making efforts to develop new flocculants, systems, and applications.

Main themes of research & development
  1. Development of characteristic flocculants and development of application systems
  2. Improving/refining of existing polymers including amphoteric type and amidine type and the treatment systems
  3. Development of systems easily used by customers, such as high-molecular flocculant dissolving systems
  4. Development of new applications utilizing the technologies of our company and Mitsubishi Group
As aforementioned, our company is promoting technical service activities with the motto “any time, anywhere” recognizing that the customer satisfaction is most important, while creating world-first technologies and unique products.
