About Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd.

Since its foundation in 1941, Nippon Shokubai has been manufacturing basic chemicals including acrylic acid and ethylene oxide with its own unique catalyst and process technologies and developing them into high-performance functional chemicals. The company's technologies are applied to various products which are essential to our daily lives and industries: disposable diapers, dish detergents, car paints, liquid crystal displays, fuel cells, and construction materials. The superabsorbent polymers pioneered by Nippon Shokubai are now used in approximately one-quarter of the disposable diapers in the world and highly regarded for their excellent water absorbency and holding capacity.
