Our technologies are needed in many fields, including collaborating on a life science project with a university startup by providing pharmaceutical materials. Our aim is to make everyday life richer and more convenient. We will address the diverse needs of users with our technology, creating the new normal for the next era while safeguarding the current one.
Since introducing Japan’s first hydrofluoric acid electrolysis technology in 1970, we have kept developing high added-value products that leverage our unique fluorine-related technologies. Particularly for Specialty Gases, we offer an industry-leading product lineup with the capacity to consistently perform all processes internally, from refining fluorine gas as a raw material to manufacturing various specialty gases. Leveraging our knowledge of fluorine, which requires careful handling, and our world-leading fluorine gas manufacturing capacity, we will continue to promote the development of unique products. The application of these technologies is not limited to fluoro-chemicals for semiconductors. They are also used for manufacturing battery materials such as lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), making a significant contribution to creating a sustainable society as the global trend toward decarbonization accelerates.
Our diverse range of products includes many with top-level global market shares. In addition to high performance that enables the development of new technologies, there is a growing demand for environmental friendliness. We have promoted research and development aimed at achieving both goals and supplied new products to the market.
