◆A temperature-sensitive plastic film for greenhouse use that stays transparent and allows sunlight to enter at low temperatures while　becoming opaque and scattering the sunlight high temperatures.

●Contributing to the reduction of heat damage to produce

◆Making the designing of high-output nickel hydride batteries possible

●It contributes to widespread use of environmentally friendly vehicles. Cobalt usage can also be reduced

◆Polypropylene materials for aluminum metallization film, used for food packaging to extend shelf life.

●Helping extend the shelf life of food products

◆For detergent packaging, pouch bags made of this polyethylene material have easy tear-open spouts for easy refilling of dispensers

●Producing less plastic waste than rigid bottles

◆This product performs all the functions of a touch sensor without requiring substrates such as glass and film, which are indispensable elements in conventional touch sensors.

●This product contributes to resource saving

◆Being free from paper dust concern and desirable from a viewpoint of re-use, it is used for food containers and delivery materials for electronic parts.

●Contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

◆Removes and recovers ammonia in effluent and recycles it for re-use.

●Contributes to reducing nitrogen discharge from a manufacturing plant.

◆Manufacturing touch sensors for use in foldable smartphones without the use of adhesive film
