Our company aims to realize new values that we
anticipate will be demanded by society in the future.
The Nippon Carbide Industries Group makes
contributions to society through the rich experience
and business achievements it has cultivated and the
know-how it has accumulated over its long years of
operation, and its wide variety of products that
incorporate high-level technology.
In 1935, the year of this company’s founding, Acetylene derivative production
using Carbide as a raw material was a promising new chemical industry, and
this company was a pioneer in this field. With the growth of the chemical
industry since then, the chief new areas have changed, and our company has
accordingly expanded the scope of its operations, creating a wide variety of
products. Developing our core technologies for calcination, organic synthesis,
resin polymerization, polymer synthesis, and films/sheeting, we have
continually created products that have met the demands of society. Presently
our business operations cover chemicals, specialty polymers, films, retroreflective
sheeting, and electronic materials etc. In order to achieve further growth, we take up
the challenges to exploit new possibilities by deep exploitation of our core
technologies and the integration of the various specialized technologies of the Group.

Chemical products are the basic raw materials
which are the musts for the latest technologies in a
variety of fields. The chemical business of Nippon
Carbide Industries has evolved from manufacture
of commodities like Calcium Carbide and Calcium
Cyanamide to manufacture of specialty chemicals
such as pharmaceutical and agrochemicals,
materials for electronics, and is even expanding
further to manufacture of active pharmaceutical
ingredients. We are proudly supporting the
solutions of customers with our knowledge,
experience and know-how of chemical products
manufacturing which have been accumulated over
a long years.
For instance, Cyanamide derivatives and Hydrazine
derivatives are used as raw materials for
pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and cosmetics,
and as additives for semiconductor photoresists
and gas generating agents for automobile air bags.
Further, Vinylether made from Acetylene is used as
a copolymerization monomer for fluoro-resins,
light-cured resins, and additive for semiconductor
photoresists.

Melamine resins are molding materials that have
outstanding lightness, strength, heat-resistance,
and colorability, and thus are used in a wide
variety of plastic products. Melamine compounds
in powder and granule form are used as the raw
material of plateware in schools, hospitals, and
company cafeterias, where the above properties
are greatly appreciated. Melamine resins are also
widely used as cleaning material to clean metal
molds for epoxy sealing. This cleaning property
and also its outstanding usability (cleaning can be
done in the same manufacturing step as the
molding, without removing the metal molds) make
it an indispensable substance in the
semiconductor industry. We also have a line of
cleaning products whose main ingredient is
synthetic rubber.

Motorcycles and motorbikes are indispensable to
the daily lives of many people in Southeast Asia
and around the world as their means of
commuting to work and a source of recreation.
Color variations of vehicles’ bodies are different
according to the culture of each country and
individual preferences.
We provide weather-proof graphic printed sheets
to be applied onto motorcycle bodies at the time
of their manufacture. We have established
manufacturing plants in Thailand, Vietnam,
Indonesia, and India for these products,
developing this business primarily in Asia. We
supply such printed products not only for
motorcycles but also for a wide range of other
items including passenger cars, pickup trucks,
construction vehicles such as large wheel loaders,
and also various types of electric appliances.
