Safety is the cornerstone of everything we do
At Kuraray, we use our unique technical strengths to create products that the world has never seen before. Starting with the world’s first commercialization of PVA fiber, we moved on to produce the following: PVOH resin, which is a raw material of PVA fiber; optical-use poval film, which is essential to liquid crystal displays; EVAL™ EVOH resin, which features excellent gas barrier properties; and a lineup of various commercialized chemical products that use the world’s only synthetic isoprene monomers as materials.
