01Providing resin products for sectors such as automobiles, housing and
construction, and LCD and semiconductors
Phenolic resins perform excellently in terms of properties such as heat resistance, flame
retardance, and friction and wear characteristics. With their polymerization and synthesis as
our core technologies, we manufacture and market resin products for sectors such as automobiles,
housing and construction, and LCD and semiconductors. In particular, we leverage our strength of
manufacturing casting resins as well as resin-coated sand, both of which are indispensable in
the casting process to manufacture products such as the automobile industry’s brake disks. As
Japan’s biggest manufacturer, we offer a finely-tuned response to the diverse needs of our
customers.
02Unobtrusively supporting industries and people’s daily lives
ASAHI YUKIZAI’s resin business began with the manufacturing and marketing of mold materials.
Unobtrusive as they are, our resins are used in familiar items that are a part of your daily
life. ASAHI YUKIZAI resins play an important role in a wide range of sectors. For example, they
are used in automobiles as materials for brake pads and tires; in the home, they are used in the
form of polyurethane foam, a heat insulating material with improved flame retardance; and they
are also used for the photoresist (photosensitive resin) used in the manufacturing process for
products such as semiconductors and LCD panels.
