| Helping
to Create a Stable Social Infrastructure |
|
 |
|
|
The petrochemicals businesses of the Mitsubishi Chemical
Group are broadly divided into basic chemicals and a large
number of second and third derivative products. In the
area of basic chemicals, we are developing an array of
product chains covering a variety of solvents and resin
products. These activities are led by our Olefin Centers,
which have boosted competitiveness by constructing optimum
production systems. Our derivative products bring together
the advanced process development capabilities and diverse
application technologies of the Group.
While promoting the extensive rationalization of our commodities,
we are focusing resources on products that are globally
competitive. We take a global perspective into everything
that we do, as we help to create a stable social infrastructure. |

|
|
| Purified
terephthalic acid |
|
|
|
|
|
Purified terephthalic acid (PTA) is the main raw material
for polyester fiber, PET resins, PET films and other products.
Working to boost competitiveness domestically, we consolidated
the PTA sales business with Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company,
Inc. and established Dia Terephthalic Acid Corporation.
We are also leveraging proprietary production technologies
domestically at the Matsuyama Plant and overseas at production
bases in South Korea, Indonesia and India. Further, with
the promotion of the Daxie Island project in China, which
is targeting production in September 2006, we are continuing
to develop globally in order to meet worldwide demand. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Leveraging proprietary technologies, the Group is developing
a wide range of C4 chemicals including 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BG),
tetrahydrofuran (THF), and maleic anhydride. Our 1,4-BG/THF
co-production process in particular has been well received by
customers and its technology is being exported overseas. The
Group's derivative products span a wide range and include polytetramethylene
ether glycol (PTMG),  -butyrolactone
(GBL), and n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). We are working to pursue
even greater quality in this area to meet advancing and diversifying
customer needs. We are also developing new products and groundbreaking
production processes. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Our PET resins are used in a wide variety of food container
and packaging film applications, including in PET bottles, which
have become a staple product of daily life. Continued growth
in the global market is expected. In the Petrochemicals Segment
we are polishing the expertise we have developed in the product
chain from PTA manufacturing to application-specific PET resin
production and film molding, and establishing market competitiveness
based on our strengths in technology development for various
applications and in quality designing. We plan to continue to
meet the high level needs of our customers both domestically
and abroad. |
|
|
|
|
| Glacial
acrylic acid and derivatives |
|
|
|
|
|
We manufacture glacial acrylic acid and acrylic acid ester with
proprietary manufacturing technologies and catalysts. Super
absorbent polymers used in disposable diapers and other products
are the main application for glacial acrylic acid, while acrylic
acid ester is used as a raw material in products such as paint
and adhesive materials. As these products have an affinity with
water, they have drawn attention as environmentally-friendly
materials. In addition, Sasol Dia Acrylates (Pty) Ltd., a joint
venture with South Africa's Sasol Chemical Industries Ltd, commenced
commercial production and sales in April 2004 of acrylic acid
and its derivatives. Leveraging our strength in development
down the 'total acrylate chain' from raw materials to commercial
products, we intend to promote business development both in
Japan and around the world. |
|
|
|
| |
|
| Our engineering plastics are superior in transparency,
heat-resistance, impact-resistance and other characteristics.
We produce polycarbonates--for which applications are expanding
in a wide range of fields including automobiles, electricity
and electronics--and a variety of other engineering plastics
such as nylon resins and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
| As a means of reducing costs for olefin, BTX
(benzene, toluene and xylene) and other chemicals at the Olefin
Centers at the Kashima and Mizushima Plants, we are promoting
a project--a petrochemical complex 'renaissance' plan, which
is also a government research initiative--by working to strengthen
alliances with petroleum refining companies. We are also promoting
a number of other initiatives involving alliances with natural
resource producing countries, including entering the petroleum
business in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, in order to further
bolster competitiveness, we are consolidating businesses with
domestic chemical companies in the areas of resin additives
(plasticizers) and commodity polymers (polyolefin, vinyl chloride,
polystyrene, ABS, etc.), where streamlining has become a necessity. |
|
|
|
| |
|
| The Petrochemicals Segment is working to augment
production both domestically and aboard in order to further
strengthen products with superiority in terms of technology
or marketing. These include purified terephthalic acid; polycarbonates
and their raw material, bisphenol-A; 1,4-butanediol and polytetramethylene
ether glycol; polypropylene compounds; and glacial acrylic acid
and its derivatives. For example, we are producing raw materials
for polycarbonates, bisphenol-A and alkylphenol both domestically
and abroad, as demand for polycarbonates is growing given its
widespread use in CDs, automobile parts and other applications.
We are also devoting ourselves to raising cost competitiveness
through integrated production (the phenol chain). |
|
|
|
| |
|
| An advantage of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group
is its comprehensive strength, which is derived from its product
chains that cover from raw materials to second and third derivatives
and processed products. For such products as glacial acrylic
acid, 1,4-butanediol, oxo products, phenol, acrylamide and purified
terephthalic acid, we have constructed robust product chains
covering from monomers to polymer manufacturing, compounding
and processed resin products, and are further diversifying and
adding even greater functionality at each process stage. These
proprietary production process technologies have received high
marks from customers and are being exported to various countries
around the world. |
