New Materials Development Center
In the field of performance materials, the New Materials Development Center is responsible for matching Mitsui's many new differentiated materials and technologies with market needs as part of a cross-functional project for early commercialization.
Projects that target priority fields
Initiate projects that meet market needs and accelerate the development of new products.
New Automotive Materials Development Project
By integrating proprietary olefin polymerization catalysts, condensation polymerization, and material design technologies, the New Automotive Materials Development Project aims to develop highly competitive automotive products possessing superior functionality and improved cost performance.
Superior performance, new energy saving materials developed by Mitsui Chemicals
Performance Film & Sheet Development Project
The Performance Film & Sheet Development Project will use Mitsui Chemicals' differentiated technologies to develop new polymer compounds, films & sheets that meet market needs.
Advanced Materials Development Project
The Advanced Materials Development Project is exploring market needs as well as developing new markets for the differentiated advanced materials that have been developed at Mitsui Chemicals using proprietary technologies such as polymerization catalysts, the functional modification of polymeric materials, and condensation polymerization.

New Olefin Polymer Development Project
The New Olefin Polymer Development Project will create (and thus open up a new market for) new value-added olefin-based materials that are based on differentiated ultra-high molecular weight linear polyethylenes, cyclic-olefin copolymers and poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) copolymers that were produced using Mitsui Chemicals' unique supporting olefin polymerization catalysis, polymer modification and processing technologies.

Polymer Processing Dept.
The Polymer Processing Department's function is to semi-commercialize the film processing technology already developed by each project/program utilizing the semi-commercial processing facilities (medium size processing & testing machines) at the Highly Functional Films Center.
