Mitsubishi Gas Chemical in Our Daily Lives

❶ Drying and de-oxydation agent (PharmaKeep)

Maintains low oxygen concentration levels and low humidity for pharmaceuticals, which ensures longer lasting quality.

❷ Anaerobic culture system (AnaeroPack)

This system is used in microorganism testing at clinical labs to speed up diagnosis and contributing to research and development in the medical sector

❸ Peracetic acid

Used in the disinfectant and sterilization of medical devices and equipment.

❹ Oxygen absorbers (AGELESS, AGELESS OMAC)

Absorbs oxygen in sealed containers to maintain a long shelf life, taste and freshness. Maintains the quality of food and helps reduce wastage.

❺ Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)

A new food ingredient considered to be not only beneficial for the brain but also for beauty as well.

❻ Aromatic aldehydes

Used as raw material for agricultural chemicals.

❼ Heat-resistant polyester (ALTESTER)

Used for containers for jelly and the like because it is easily molded and is highly transparent.

❽ Peracetic acid

Used to clean and disinfect food and beverage containers allowing longer shelf lives at room temperature.

❾ Purified Isophthalic acid

Used in PET bottles.

❾ Polyamide（MX Nylon)

Used for hot tea and carbonated beverage bottles because of its excellent gas barrier properties.

❾ Neopentylglycol

Used in the outer film for PET bottles.

❶ BT materials for semiconductor packages

MGC was the first in Japan to develop this plastic PWB material that helps to make mobile devices more compact and high performance.

❷ Polycarbonate (Iupilon)

Used in touch panels and liquid crystal displays for mobile devices.

❷ EL chemicals

Used during the manufacture of semiconductors, flat panel displays, and printed wiring boards.

❷ Epoxy printed wiring board (PWB) material

Used in motherboards.

❸ Miscellaneous engineering plastics

Used in the outer casings, internal gears and photoreceptor drums of printers, copy machines, and other office automation equipment.

❹ Optical resin polymer (Iupizeta™ EP)

Used in camera lenses. Features excellent optical properties, such as high transparency and a high refractive index, which contributes to higher resolution cameras

❶ Glycidyl methacrylate

Used in automotive topcoat paints

❷ Miscellaneous engineering plastics

Used as a component in door mirrors, headlights, car navigation systems, automotive interiors, and the camera lenses of drive recorders.

❸ Polyacetal

Used in interior components and fuel pump modules.

❶ Methanol

Used in plastics, coatings, and pharmaceuticals as a basic chemical, with diverse applications for derivatives too. MGC has methanol plants outside of Japan, supporting much of global demand.

❷ Geothermal power generation

MGC is developing clean geothermal energy with low CO₂ emissions during generation and promoting power generating projects.

❸ 1,3-Bis (Aminomethyl) cyclohexane

Outstanding weatherability, used in coatings and paints. Helps to extend the life of building walls and floors and wind turbine blades.

❹ Phthalic anhydride and Isophthalic acid

Used in plasticizing agents for softening PVC water pipes.

❺ Metaxylenediamine (MXDA)

Used in coatings for structures such as bridges, plant pipes, and tanks to prevent metal deterioration
