Overview Message Corporate Philosophy Group Motto Corporate Governance Compliance Purchasing History Leadership MCC Worldwide Businesses Performance Products Health Care Industrial Materials Others Group Companies Performance Products Domain Pioneering the Future for an Array of Industries for Achieving Safe, Comfortable Living Integrating our Group strengths and stressing dialogue with our customers, we deliver a variety of performance products that are rich in high value added in the fields of information and electronics; environment and energy; medical care and food ingredients. These products demonstrate their superior performance in various ways and at various places in society at large. Information and Electronics Segment Imaging supplies The properties of chemical substances that produce physical and chemical changes in reaction to light or heat are applied to imaging. In this area, we are developing such products as toner and organic photo conductors (OPC) for printers and copiers, media and ink sheets for dye diffusion thermal transfer printing, and dyestuff for inkjet printers. Display materials The market for displays is continuing to grow. We offer a wide array of solutions, including materials and components for LCDs and phosphors for CRTs and PDPs. Compound semiconductors are used in a variety of products that include light emitting diodes (LED), the laser diodes for optical disc players and drives, and components for mobile phones. The Group is playing an important role in the fields of displays and information technology. Optical recording media The Mitsubishi Chemical Group has consistently led the world in developing large capacity, highly reliable products such as the world's first commercialized 90 mm magneto optical disk. The Group sells magneto optical disks (MO), CD-R/-RW, DVDR/RW and other optical recording media on global markets and boasts a top share. Electronic chemicals The Group develops a variety of high purity chemicals used in semiconductor and LCD production lines. These include electronic-and industrial-use ultra high purity process chemicals that respond to the trend toward integration of semiconductors, advanced cleaners that achieve highly purified surfaces at low costs, and high performance wet etchants that optimally match customer needs and processes. In each of these areas, we provide solutions optimized to customer needs and processes. Specialty colorants Mitsubishi Kagaku Media Co., Ltd. develops and markets CD-R, DVDR and other optical discs. The company supplies the market with proprietary branded products and also sells azo dyes, the core technology for recordable optical discs. In the area of dyestuff for recordable DVDs, the company enjoys an overwhelming share of the global market. The Mitsubishi Chemical Group has positioned a broad range of dye-related technologies including azo dyes as one of its core technologies, and is developing them for a diverse array of products other than just optical discs, including high performance materials for color printers and high performance filters for displays. Photovoltaic system Optimized photovoltaic system can be offered to each customer by our thin-film solar modules made of amorphous silicon, which have the advantages in its light-weight and flexibility, as well as various types of solar modules. Organic thin-film solar cells, which deliver lightweight, flexible and well-designed solutions, are currently under development utilizing our proprietary organic semiconductor technology and groundbreaking roll-to-roll printing process. Performance Chemicals Segment Fine chemicals We handle a number of intermediates with unique functions including varieties of aldehydes, which are used as raw materials for fragrances and flavours; monomers for polyimides; and epoxy resin and its raw materials for semiconductors. Ion exchange resins, activated carbon We provide a wide range of solutions in environment-related fields, from water treatment to air purification, separation, purification and deodorization. All of our products in this area are top brands in the industry and are based on the advanced technology cultivated over many years by the Group. Their high performance and high quality are readily acknowledged by customers. With MCI GEL, high performance liquid chromatography columns and packing resins, we provide broad-ranging support for separation technology at every level, from research lab to industry. Food ingredients Our sugar esters are emulsifiers produced with a proprietary technology using natural substances as raw materials. Because they are extremely safe, they are used primarily in food products and also in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, and have become a product indispensable to daily life. We also provide high quality food processing materials, such as polyglyceryl fatty acid esters, that leverage the Group's R&TD and technical service capabilities. Li-ion rechargeable battery materials Li-ion rechargeable batteries are composed of a cathode, an anode, a separator and electrolytes. The Group has nearly 20 years of experience in electrolytes and has expanded its business domain into anode and cathode materials. We take advantage of our strength as the sole manufacturer in Japan of three of the separate parts materials to provide comprehensive proposals that cover from a customer's initial development stages through to commercialization. Going forward, we will continue to develop advanced technologies including higher capacity, compact batteries that respond to the increasing functionality of mobile phones and other products, and materials for hybrid and fuel cell vehicles, an area where increasing demand is anticipated. The Group is committed to staking out a position as a globally-oriented total solution provider for energy storage system whose services include materials analyses and evaluative technologies for battery systems. Inorganic materials We supply industry with ammonia derivatives, inorganic acids, and a wide array of other inorganic chemicals. We also developed synthetic silica based on the inorganic chemistry technologies cultivated through these activities. Additionally, we developed a new manufacturing method for mesoporous silica, whose use is anticipated in a wide range of applications including catalysts, modifiers, fillers and adsorbents. Key Word Fullerene In December 2001, Mitsubishi Chemical partnered with Mitsubishi Corporation to establish the joint venture Frontier Carbon Corporation. We led the world in beginning full-fledged commercial production of fullerene, a new material on par with carbon nanotubes, at the Kurosaki Plant in May 2003. To do so, we have drawn on the basic patents of fullerene, other intellectual property and selling power of the Mitsubishi Corporation Group and on our own production technology that has been cultivated in the carbon business over many years. We have begun sample shipments to nearly 300 corporations and organizations that include raw materials manufacturers and research institutes, and applications of the material are expected in a wide range of fields.
