Life & Personal Care

Industrial and manufacturing applications cover a wide range of components, production materials and processing environments, each with different requirements for durability, dimensional stability, chemical resistance, heat resistance, adhesion, flexibility and processability. Manufacturers also need materials that can support consistent quality and efficient processing across applications such as engineered parts, films, coatings, binders, adhesives and other functional materials.

Kuraray offers a broad portfolio of engineering plastics, specialty polymers, elastomers, PVA and PVB materials, barrier materials and functional chemicals for industrial use. Depending on the product and application, these materials can provide properties such as mechanical strength, dimensional stability, adhesion, flexibility, barrier performance and resistance to heat or chemicals. This breadth allows manufacturers to evaluate materials according to specific production processes and performance requirements rather than relying on a single material approach.
