Functional Chemicals Materials Development Division
The Functional Chemicals Materials Development Division is busy developing healthcare, medical, environmentally friendly energy and electronic information materials based on cutting-edge synthetic technology in order to give everyone a better quality of life.
Healthcare Materials
We are developing the latest plastic eyeglass lens materials which have high transparency, excellent optical attributes and high tolerance to shock, utilizing molecular design and fine organic syntheses.
We released the "MR Series" applying "urethane material" to plastic eyeglass lens materials for the first time in the world.
Compare the difference in thickness between ours and a conventional product. The high refractive index realizes the world's thinnest lens.
Making rimless glasses is easy due to the high strength of our lenses. Tinting properties of the lenses are excellent.
