Chemicals & Agrochemicals Division COMPANY INFORMATION
  Kureha supports the advancement of agricultural business and the growth of industry.

In the field of agrochemicals, Kureha aims for a symbiotic relationship between the earth, the people that produce food, and those that eat it. Kureha capitalizes on its formidable research and development resources to produce agrochemicals that increase agricultural productivity as well as protect the environment.

Industrial chemicals not only form the basis of the materials industry, but are the foundation of Kureha's business overall. Chlorine and other fundamental materials are where the roots Kureha's product development capabilities lie, and it is through the utilization of these materials that other new value-added products can be created.
Supporting agriculture to provide abundant food - Agrochemicals
   
Agricultural fungicide Metconazole   Seed treatment fungicide Ipconazole  
Kureha has developed agrochemicals that promote harmony with nature while enabling enhanced yield of crop. Metconazole is an agricultural fungicide that is used in more than 30 countries around the world on a variety of crops, including wheat and oil seed rape.
Similarly, Ipconazole is an agricultural fungicide that is highly valued for its capacity to disinfect seeds in rice plants. Both fungicides are agrochemicals that are highly effective across a wide range of crops and will continue to contribute to agricultural development in countries throughout the world.
The foundations of the basic materials industry - Industrial chemicals
   
Industrial salt, the starting point for Kureha's chemical business   Filling caustic soda  
Industrial salt subjected to electrolysis produces chlorine and caustic soda was the starting point for Kureha's chemical business. Chlorine is the origin of the company's line of specialty products while caustic soda is an essential material for paper and chemical fiber production. In addition, chlorine and caustic soda are intermediate materials used by Kureha to make PPS resin. Because these two products both increase the value of the other, it has been possible for the company to establish an efficient and economical production system that forms the foundations of the whole Kureha business.
