New Business Fields

Bio/Life Science

We develop structure-forming materials and functional coating materials for use in devices such as biomimetic systems and cell capture devices, as well as in cell culture vessels, microfluidic devices, inspection equipment, and medical devices. Our product lineup is designed with careful consideration for low cytotoxicity and low autofluorescence.

Surface Treatment Agent

We develop ultra-thin hydrophilic coating materials with visible light transmittance of approximately 100%. These materials can be applied as functional coatings for transparent components used in automobiles, building materials, and microfluidic devices without impairing their optical properties.

We also develop surface treatment agents that modify hydrophilic surfaces to hydrophobic ones, as well as adhesion promoters that prevent delamination between organic film layers.

Our product lineup includes two types of materials: surface modifiers that hydrophobically modify substrate interfaces, and coating materials that improve adhesion between upper and lower layers when forming multilayer organic structures.

Separation Membrane

We have developed porous polyimide films characterized by highly uniform pore diameters (25–270 nm) and thin-film thicknesses (25–40 μm), making them suitable for applications such as separation membranes.

Our proprietary dispersion technology is key to achieving such uniform pore diameters. Fine particles are uniformly dispersed in the coating solution, and a porous structure is formed by removing those particles during the film manufacturing process.

Our polyimide films offer excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, air permeability, and liquid permeability, and are expected to find use in a wide range of applications.
