Dyes exist as molecules in a solvent and are used as such, whereas pigments are an assembly of molecules and they exist as particles. Pigments are superior to dyes in stability and in terms of various properties, such as water resistance and weather fastness; consequently, they are used in various products, such as coating materials, printing inks, fibers, and leathers. We have produced and supplied the market with several hundred types of red organic pigments that are different from one another in hue and properties. We provide red organic pigments that have been optimally blended to suit various applications, and these pigments enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide.

Nanotechnology refers to techniques that control the particle size on the range of nanometer scale (1 nm = 10-9 m). In general, these techniques can be classified into two types. The first type is referred to as the top-down method, in which larger particles are broken down into nanosize particles by physical force. The other type is known as the bottom-up method, in which atoms or molecules (size range about 0.1–10 nm) are assembled to form larger particles that exhibit novel characteristics. In our case, we generally break down the particles into smaller sizes using physical force; therefore, we may classify our methods as top-down methods. On the other hand, we also manufacture cosmetic materials and various types of coating products and electrode and electrolyte materials for batteries; in doing so, we synthesize monomers (both inorganic and organic) into polymers and mix them or coat them onto the surface of particles to make the final products. Therefore, the methods involved in the manufacturing of such materials can be classified as bottom-up methods. Furthermore, occasionally, we use organic and inorganic monomers as raw materials, and the materials synthesized as a result can be referred to as inorganic–organic hybrid materials. To date, with the above mentioned technology, we have created various types of products with pigments, resins, ceramics, metals, emulsions, etc…

Various types of inks, UV and visible light screening agents, color filters for television displays, coating agents (based on sol-gel technology), materials for cosmetics, electro-conductive inks for transfer printing, anti bacterial chemicals, electro-conductive paste, various metal pastes, various oxide pastes, pastes for electronic device materials, etc.

Our various types of coated nanoparticle products and nanosize particle dispersion products are produced by coating or mixing nanoparticles with organic and inorganic monomers through dispersion or chemical reactions. This has been realized by making full use of advanced technology that combines top-down and bottom-up methods with organic–inorganic hybrid materials.

* Nanotechnology: Technology that regulates the size of substances in the desired nanometer range. A nanometer is a unit of measure, equal to one billionth of a meter. It is used to express dimensions on an atomic level.
* Top-down method: Processes that make nanoscale materials from larger scale materials by physical means
* Bottom-up method: Technology that builds up nanoscale or smaller materials (atom and molecules) to produce macroscale materials
* Organic–inorganic hybrid materials: Innovative materials that have been constructed by mixing organic and inorganic materials at the molecular level

Photosensitizer compounds are mainly used as the principal component of resist material, which is used for printing plates and electronic materials such as those used in IC, LSI and liquid crystal panels etc. Our photosensitizer compounds for printing plates are negative type and have good stability due to their excellent endurance against hydrolysis. Moreover, for electronic materials, they exhibit great stability against crystallization and maintain their excellent characteristics as resist materials.

We supply electrodes, electrolyte materials, etc., for use in solar cells, fuel cells, secondary batteries including lithium-ion battery, and various types of capacitors. These ecofriendly devices are crucial in enabling us to deal with current and impending global environmental concerns. In particular, the electrodes for these devices are generally prepared by a printing procedure because they are composed of nanosize particles. Materials for these electronics devices, electrodes, and electrolytes need to be controlled at the nanometer scale. For example, in solar cells, light scattering, light absorption, and the accompanying photocurrent are largely influenced by the structure of the electrode and electrolyte at the nanometer scale. The light-to-electricity conversion efficiency greatly depends on how much light absorption and scattering occurs inside the electrode. In fuel cells, the electrodes, electrolytes, gas phase, and catalysts need to be connected to each other in order to obtain adequate electrical contact and a sufficient number of reactive sites, which necessitates very precise structural control. For secondary batteries such as lithium-ion cells, the electrode structure needs to be tailored to gain high capacitance. In other words, the electrode and the electrode/electrolyte interface possess a multiphase structure in the nanometer to micrometer range and they must share maximum contact surface area in order to enable electrons, holes, ions, and reactive gas to conduct electric current and be transported easily with low resistance. Therefore, very fine precise structural control with particle dispersion technology is necessary to achieve above purposes. We are now vigorously developing materials for electrodes, electrolytes, encapsulation materials, reflective boards, various type of coating materials, for batteries, capacitors etc.
