We, SEKISUI Specialty Chemicals, deliver material proposals that directly address performance requirements and actual manufacturing processes. We ensure suitability based on specific needs such as strength, adhesion, dispersibility, thermal decomposition behavior, printability, and foaming performance, tailored to each application and process.
We support customers by evaluating their required functions and processing conditions. This enables development teams to assess optimal material candidates for their applications. Leveraging diverse resin technologies and application expertise, we solve challenges from product design to process design for customers worldwide.
The Functional Resin Business offers a broad portfolio of materials, including polyvinyl alcohol (PVA/PVOH) resins, polyvinyl butyral (PVB) resins, specialty acrylic resins, and functional fine particles. These materials can be considered for a wide range of industries, including electronics, adhesives, inks and coatings, automotive applications, and industrial materials.
Because we have multiple resin design technologies, customers can compare material candidates based on factors such as strength, adhesion, dispersibility, thermal decomposition behavior, and solvent compatibility. This flexibility can support both replacing existing materials and evaluating new applications. In addition to projects in Japan, we also work with overseas sites and affiliated companies to support global development and adoption studies.
Functional resins affect not only product performance but also multiple stages of manufacturing, including dispersion, coating, printing, lamination, and firing. For ceramics, sheet strength, flexibility, and thermal decomposition behavior are critical. In printing, solvent compatibility, viscosity design, and rheology are essential.
Therefore, material selection must account for more than catalog data; actual processing conditions, equipment, and component interactions require thorough evaluation.
Using our technical and sales networks in Japan and abroad, we recommend materials suitable for real process environments.
Functional resins serve as binders, conductive pastes, adhesives, inks, coatings, and lightweight composites. Our team collaborates with customers to identify target properties, operating environments, processing requirements, and material obstacles. With this insight, we recommend tailored resins, deliver supporting data, and specify key factors for sample evaluation.
Even during initial studies, we guide customers in refining criteria for material selection and assessment criteria. Through our global network, we deliver region- and application-specific expertise.
We, SEKISUI Specialty Chemicals, support customers’ material studies worldwide. We tailor our support to each customer’s application, region, and development stage—from early consultation and candidate material evaluation to adoption studies and global expansion.
For global customers, material performance is just one factor; access to information, technical consultation, supply options, and local responsiveness matter too. Our support structure offers technical expertise, sales support, and regional responsiveness through domestic and international networks. We are committed to empowering customers at every stage, ensuring their material decisions drive success.
