General-purpose Resin Materials (vinyl chloride) Business
Vinyl chloride resin is used for many different products in our everyday lives, such as water supply and sewage pipes, protective wire sheaths, film sheets, and construction materials. This recyclable resin is well-suited to our resource-recycling society thanks to its excellent workability and flame resistance (self‐extinguishing properties).
We will continuously strive to proactively enter new markets and expand our business via domestic and overseas sales of vinyl chloride resins, plasticizers, and vinyl chloride compounds.
