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. |

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

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. |
