DURANATE™, an HDI-based polyisocyanate, is a curing agent for urethane coating. Urethane coatings hardened with DURANATE™ have not only high weatherability, but also excellent mechanical and chemical properties. In addition, our unique technologies--low viscosity and low-temperature curability--contribute to reducing VOCs and CO2, thereby contributing to reducing environmental burden.

MEF™ stands for "Moldable PolyEthylene Foam" Being inherently light and flexible, PE foam offers exceptional shock absorption and durability. As it is molded by steam chest molding, it can be formed into different shapes and sizes easily, and is suitable for automotive parts (especially for car interiors). It is also suitable for returnable packaging in shipping of automotive parts.

The Future of Sustainable Mobility
Our unique nanocomposite materials are composites of highly heat-resistant cellulose nanofiber (CNF) and various polyamide resins. The materials excel in rigidity, dimensional stability, as well as sliding properties, and are expected to be applied to various sliding parts. They also contribute to reducing the environmental impact of parts since they utilize biomaterials, have high mechanical recyclability, and reduce the weight of parts.

ASACLEAN™ significantly reduces switching time, amount of waste, and CO2 emissions. Based on Asahi Kasei's resin compatibilization technology and original compounding technique, it achieves the world's highest level of cleaning performance. Asahi Kasei proposes the optimal removal of resins ranging from general-purpose resins such as PP and ABS to super engineering plastics such as PEEK and PPS. ASACLEAN™ is also suitable for removing our Leona™ (PA66), Xyron™ (m-PPE), TENAC™ (POM), and DELPET™ (PMMA).

With the increasing importance of environmental protection and with stricter regulations on CO2 emissions as well as fuel efficiency, the weight reduction of automobiles is becoming more and more important. Continuous Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyamide Resin (Continuous Glass Fiber) takes full advantage of the features of reinforced resin, this material has excellent strength, rigidity, and impact resistance. Therefore, the polyamide resin can be considered as an alternative to metals and contributes to the need for weight reduction.

The strength of Asahi Kasei Group is having a broad range of technologies from functional fibers,
performance plastics, synthetic rubber, semiconductor devices, to various sensors. All of which contribute to automotive safety, comfort, and environmental performance.
Our concept car “AKXY” showcases a variety of Asahi Kasei’s unique automotive products and technologies. Going forward, we will continuously propose new technology to society, and together with everyone, create things that did not exist before.
When it comes to mobility, "Safety" has always been defined in terms of keeping occupants safe in the event of a crash. As we move into the era of shared and autonomous vehicles, the number of accidents will decrease, but there are other risks vehicle occupants are exposed to while in a vehicle.
At Asahi Kasei, we want to keep occupants safe from the "invisible enemies" - pollution, viruses and other pathogens. Taking a holistic view of the vehicle interior, we provide healthy solutions for dashboards, door trim, headliners, seats and ventilation systems.
The purpose of Asahi Kasei’s participation in the WRC is to contribute to the automobile industry by increasing corporate awareness with automobile fans through motor sports. As a company with a strong focus on automobile-related businesses, we believe that supporting the developments of the WRC will lead to further development of Asahi Kasei’s businesses.
