Inorganic functional materials

NOVARON® for Fiber & Film is an antibacterial agent that carries silver ions on an inorganic ion exchanger and has an antibacterial effect against a wide range of bacteria. Since it is a uniform fine particle with almost no hygroscopicity and excellent in heat resistance, it can be easily molded into fibers, films, and plastic products and can be easily dispersed in paints. It is also extremely safe and is approved by the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration).

NOVARON® for Resin is a glass-based antibacterial agent containing zinc as an antibacterial component. It has excellent discoloration resistance and is highly applicable to transparent resins. It has also been confirmed to be highly safe.

NOVARON® AQ is a silver ion elution type inorganic granular antibacterial agent for water treatment. By immersing in various water tanks or drain water, water spoilage can be suppressed for a long period of time.

CAVINON® is an organic/inorganic hybrid anti-mold of which anti-mold component is intercalated in an inorganic layered compound. CAVINON® has features such as heat resistance, water resistance, and sustainability which are difficult to obtain with conventional organic anti-mold agents. It can be used in a variety of applications where durability is required.

KESMON® is an inorganic deodorant that has excellent adsorption and deodorant effects on various odors and VOCs existing in living environment. Since KESMON® chemically reacts with odor gas chemical, it has excellent immediate effect and can deodorize low-concentration odors that are difficult to deodorize with conventional materials. In addition, KESMON® has a large deodorant capacity and is excellent in sustainability. Because of its heat resistance and durability, KESMON® can be used in a wide variety of applications including films, papers, non-woven fabrics, textiles, molded parts, paints, and more.

AlleRemove® is an inorganic anti-allergen agent. By coating or mixing to the products, AlleRemove® reduces the activity of allergenic substances that arise from mites, pollen etc.

IXE_® is an ion-trapping agent with superior ion-trapping capacity and heat resistance properties. The reliability of electronics materials can be improved by adding this agent to sealing resins and the like.

IXEPLAS is an even higher-performance version of IXE_®, our ion-trapping agent with superior ion-trapping capacity and heat resistance properties.

Ultea is a filler with negative thermal expansion made from zirconium phosphate. With negative thermal expansion, it has superior heat resistance and chemical resistance and can effectively control thermal expansion when added to glass, resins, and other materials, which makes it useful for improving heat resistance, preventing cracking, and more.
