ROUNDUP®

ROUNDUP® is a herbicide used all over the world which has low toxicity to humans and animals
and does not remain in the soil or in the environment. In 2002, we acquired exclusive marketingrights in Japan from Monsanto.

ALTAIR®

Agents used for semiconductors/LED require extremely high purity. We provide sulfuric
acid, nitric acid and ammonia to this industry, receiving high acclaim in the process.

ALTAIR® is a wide-spectrum herbicide that is highly effective in eliminating bulrush and cyperaceousperennial weeds. It is also effective for weeds that are resistant to conventional sulfonylurea-basedherbicides. We market this product in Japan, South Korea, China and other Asian countries.

AdBlue®*1AdBlue® is a high-grade urea solution used in “urea SCR system”, a technology for purifying emissions. When sprayed onto emissions from diesel vehicles, it breaks down nitrogen oxide (NOx) into harmless nitrogen and water, which helps to reduce environmental
impact.

GRACIA®

GRACIA®, a pesticide developed in-house, is fast-acting on a wide range of crop pests and has little impact on honeybees which are useful insects. Released in South Korea in 2018 and went onsale in Japan in 2019.

Fine Chemicals

Veterinary Pharmaceuticals

HI-LITE®

Chlorinated isocyanulate is the main ingredient in this product. It is used for sterilization anddisinfection of swimming pools and water purification tanks, and thus contributes to publichygiene.

TEPIC®

TEPIC® is an epoxy compound which possesses excellent heat resistance, weather resistance, and transparency. It is widely used in semiconductors, LEDs, and substrate-related electronic materials as well as in powder coating curing agents.

Fluralaner

Fluralaner is a compound invented by Nissan Chemical used as an active ingredient in the veterinary pharmaceutical “BRAVECTO®*3” developed by MSD Animal
Health (MAH). We manufacture and supply it to MAH as an API of veterinary pharmaceuticals. Fluralaner has remarkable features: it is highly safe and acts rapidly
against major species of fleas and ticks and has a longer insecticidal effect thanexisting products as its effects remains even when highly diluted.

SUNEVER®, Rayalign®

These are polyimide-based liquid crystal alignment materials used to coat the surface of theouter glass panels to align liquid crystal molecules in a certain direction.

Featured by its potent LDL cholesterol-lowering effect and few drug-drug interactions, LIVALO® is used in thetreatment of hyperlipidemia.

LANDEL®*5 (API)

Semiconductor Materials
ARC®

LIVALO®*4(API)LANDEL® is a long-acting calcium antagonist featured by its renoprotective effect and used in the treatment ofhypertension and angina pectoris.

*2ARC® is an anti-reflective coating developed for semiconductor lithography. It is used to coatthe part under the photoresist, to resolve a number of issues with lithographic exposure suchas reflection from varying substrate levels. This makes it possible to significantly reduce thedevice failure rate.

Inorganic Materials

Custom Chemicals
The Onoda Plant manufactures active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and theirintermediates. In addition to GMP compliance, it is regularly inspected by domestic and foreign regulatory authorities as well as by customers to whom it delivers
APIs, and its level of quality is highly evaluated.

Maxacalcitol

SNOWTEX®

SNOWTEX® is a colloidal solution in which ultrafine particles of silicic acid anhydride are dispersed in water using water as a dispersion medium. Utilizing various functions, it is used for awide range of products such as coating materials for optical films and abrasives for electronic
substrate materials.
