Fine & Performance Chemicals Laboratory
The Fine & Performance Chemicals Laboratory belongs to the Development center in the Advanced Chemicals Business Sector. It conducts research and development on new functional products that enrich and improve our lifestyles. These products are healthcare materials and information/electronics materials developed with the world's highest level of functional molecular design, fine organic syntheses, and bioprocessing technology.
Plastic Eyeglass Lens 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.
