Business & Products
Business Introduction
Chemical Products Business
Providing various fields of industry with functional materials using phenolic resin as a core
The chemical products business manufactures phenolic resin and the high-performance fiber Kynol, a phenolic resin fiber.
Phenolic resin is a thermosetting resin that cures with heat and has excellent heat resistance and flame resistance. Because of its characteristics, it is used in many fields of industry, including electronic materials, housing, automobiles, and molding.
In addition, because of its high heat resistance and less production of smoke, Kynol is used for firefighter garments or chemical production suits or seats for vehicles, such as airplanes and High-speed railway, as well as space rockets.
Food Products Business
Providing a wide range of fields of food industry with functional sweeteners, including beverages, confections, and seasonings.
The food products business manufactures sugar products made from starch, grain extracts made from grain, and functional sweeteners. Gun Ei Chemical Industry has developed a unique technology allowing the unique taste of grain to come through. Various sugars produced through this technology have a variety of functions, including moisture-retaining ability, less sweetness, or ability to bring out the natural flavor of ingredients, as well as a sweetening function, and are essential materials for the manufacture of a wide range of products, including refreshing beverages, alcoholic beverages, confections, and seasonings.
