The company possesses strong expertise in unique monomers, polymers, and advanced manufacturing technologies for fine particles. Leveraging these capabilities, we have developed tailored solutions for the industrial and medical coatings.
Surface property control
Surface modification of substrates is a key technology for enhancing the functionality of solid materials. Nippon Shokubai's multifunctional hydrophilic particles have been developed using our proprietary technologies to create and maintain highly hydrophilic surfaces, even on finely structured substrates. For example, when applied to the aluminum fins of heat pumps, these particles improve water drainage, contributing to enhanced performance and efficiency. In addition, Nippon Shokubai's biocompatible polymers provide an excellent solution for modifying the surfaces of medical devices. These polymers can provide surface characteristics such as hydrophilicity, lubricity, reduced protein adsorption, and reduced bacterial adhesion. Such characteristics may contribute to the design of medical devices intended for improved biocompatibility and functionality.
