Kuraray Co., Ltd. products

A high-performance resin first industrialized by Kuraray, used as a raw material in the production of PVA fiber. Uncommonly for a synthetic resin, it is water soluble, and has superior adhesiveness, emulsiveness, oil resistance, and alkali resistance. It is a raw material in the production of butyral resin and PVA fiber and film, and is used as a fiber sizing agent, paper processing agent, stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride polymerization, and raw material for adhesives, as well as a broad range of other industrial applications.

GENESTAR is a proprietary polyamide resin developed by Kuraray. This synthetic resin is highly resistant to heat, water, and abrasion, yet easily molded. GENESTAR is widely used in connectors for electronic and electrical devices such as personal computers, digital cameras, and mobile telephones. In recent years, the development of GENESTAR auto parts has progressed, and we expect such applications to increase.
