Inorganic Chemicals

Industrial chemicals that are fundamental to the materials industry

Kureha's chemical industry business originates in the electrolysis of industrial salt, which produces chlorine and caustic soda. Many of Kureha's specialty products have been developed from chlorine, and caustic soda is essential for the production of paper and synthetic fibers. Moreover, Kureha uses chlorine and caustic soda as intermediate materials to make its own PPS resins. The value of one product enhances the value of the other. This efficient and lean production structure is the foundation of our entire business.
