We create value through materials based on the mixing technology, to enrich society, people and the environment

Corporate Mission

MaterialsInnovation

Founded in 1964, for over a half a century, our company has aimed to manufacture products that contribute to society by engaging in the production of Masterbatches that are essential for rubber products used in automobiles, electric appliances, precision machinery, construction materials, athletic footwear and adhesives, as a specialized company of rubber Masterbatches.In particular , our highly sophisticated production system and unique research and development that explores the possibilities of rubber as a raw material, with a commitment to only the best quality etc., and technology and know-how that we have cultivated over the years have been highly valued not only domestically but internationally as well.The economic environment that surrounds us and social structures have become increa-singly more complicated and we face drastic changes in association with recent global-ization and, accordingly, customer needs have become more diversified and sophisticated.Under such circumstances , under the corporate philosophy of “Materials Innovation―We create value through materials based on mixing technology to enrich soc iety , people and the environment” We wil l continue to be involved in t h e c r e a t i o n o f n ew technology and new value, striving to contribute to our society.

In order to make rubber products, a process for preparing rubber materials having the properties needed in a rubber product (Masterbatch) is necessary.However, this process is extremely complicated, as the properties of rubber entirely change just by a difference in the quantity of raw materials formulated or the kneading method.Although this is a very difficult field that has yet to see the establishment of an academic system worldwide, it is our mission to develop and manufacture rubber targeting more effective use of rubber products, while conducting research on Masterbatch.

We have three plants in Japan, each of which has established a highly sophisticated production system by combining complete process control and accumulation of know-how in a well-balanced approach.Each of the plants is engaged in the production of high-quality products for meeting customer needs, while placing the highest priority on environmental conservation as well as safety and disaster prevention.

Our products are found across a range of applications throughout society and in our daily life.Productization

Several thousands of kinds of raw materials are selected and weighed/formulated.

Raw materials are mixed uniformly.Our mixing process is the result of a concentration of technologies we have cultivated over our years of long experience.

Products are packaged according to the specification required by each customer and shipped.

MasterbatchIt performs thermogravimetry and d i f f e ren t i a l t he rma l analysis of material components at the same time. Quantitative analysis, thermal decomposition analysis, thermal stability, reactivity etc can be evaluated.

The surface structure of the material can be observed finely. Also, identical and quantitative analysis of contained elements is possible.

It is possible to do qualitative and quantitative analysis by separating polymeric materials and constituent gases such as additives. It is effective for identifying organic compounding agents.

Raw Materials KnowledgeIn order to manufacture Masterbatch, it is important to fully understand the properties and characteristics of raw materials.By leveraging our raw materials knowledge that we have accumulated for over half a century, we have started to globalize raw materials, making it possible to provide raw materials to our customers at a competitive price.

Mastering molding processesWe believe it is necessary to fully master the molding and processing processes that are conducted by customers so that we can provide customers with a Masterbatch that they can use with a high level of satisfaction.By establishing a relationship of trust with our customers, we are also demonstrating our commitment to acquire knowledge about the molding processes they use.

Formulation TechnologyWith Masterbatch, just a change in any formulation will result in a drastic change to rubber properties.Therefore, an appropriate formulation design backed by a wealth of experience is essential, and formulation design is an extremely important factor that determines the life of product differentiation.We take pride in our highly ranked research achievements within the industry and we look to continue to respond accurately to needs that are increasingly diverse and sophisticated.

Assessment TechnologyRequests from customers are infinitely diverse and Masterbatch specifications differ depending on each customer.In order to provide a Masterbatch with a quality that satisfies all customer demands, we have prepared an exhaustive assessment system.

Processing Technology

Our ability to make proposals that meet the expectations of customersWe are ready to solve customer problems together with customers and meet their demands by unifying sales, technical and production departments.We also carry out continuous follow-ups so that customers can use our products with peace of mind by leveraging our technology and know-how as well as our far-reaching global network.

Although various raw materials are needed for manufacturing Masterbatch, it is not easy to mix them uniformly.We have systematically collected and analyzed findings obtained from technical staff at worksites to promote unique research and d e v e l o p m e n t , r e s u l t i n g i n successful mass production and the establishment of technology t ha t p rov i des f o rmu l a t i on characteristics to the greatest extent possible.

We offer comprehensive strength to respond to any and all kinds of needs from the rubber manufacturing industry in which highly sophisticated expertise is required.

Comprehensive strength in response to needs

Production system that supports stable supplyWe have a production system that covers not only domestic but also overseas areas that enables us to promptly and stably supply a wide range of products that meet customer needs.Furthermore, in order to supply high-quality products to customers, we conduct thorough quality management at all domestic and overseas bases.
