Top message
TOYOBO MC Corporation was established on April 1st, 2023 through investments made byboth Toyobo Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation.
Our goal is to contribute to solving social issues throughout the world by expanding
functional materials, using Toyobo s long-standing technical expertise and Mitsubishi
Corporation s global network and business know-how.
In this joint venture, we are not taking a conventional approach such as just having Toyobo
manufacture the products and Mitsubishi Corporation simply sell the products. Bothcompanies will actively be involved in managing the business, and by self-reforming, weplan to enhance our corporate value. By doing this, we hope to make Japan s functional
materials something that is invincible in the worldwide industry.
The environment surrounding the material manufacturing industry is rapidly changing
every day. Because of this, the client s needs are becoming more diverse in the recentyears, but we hope to become a company that the customers come to ﬁrst when introuble. We hope to improve our technology so that they are distinguished from othercompanies in the industry so that we will be able to receive requests from all over theworld. TOYOBO MC Corporation was established to achieve this goal. All of our employees
will work together to take on this challenge.

Engineering Plastics

Photo-Functional Materials

With excellent heat resistance and other unique properties, engineering plastics are used for automobile parts,electric/electronic parts, mechanical parts, and elsewhere. Products we oﬀer include PELPRENE™ with bothproperties rubber and engineering plastics; GLAMIDE™, glass ﬁber reinforced polyamide resin; and VYLOPET™, athermoplastic polyester resin for injection molding.

We oﬀer two categories of product, Printight™ a water-washable photo-sensitive letterpress
plate, and Cosmolight™ a water-washable photo-sensitive ﬂexo-plate that is resistant towater-based ink. It has low environmental impact and contributes to pleasant work
surroundings.

VYLON™, HARDLEN™

Fine Chemicals

Our oﬀerings include VYLON™, a highly polymerized co-polyester resin used as a binder for paints and anadhesive ﬂexible PCBs; HARDLEN™, a modiﬁed polyoleﬁn with excellent adhesion to polypropylene; andVYLOSHOT™, a low-pressure molding material that protects electronic materials. HARDLEN™, for example, is※1 Oriented polypropylene
used as an adhesion promoter for OPP※1 ﬁlm and PP bumper primer.

Leveraging our fundamental technologies accumulated over the years, we carry out
manufacturing, both in-house and on contract, of products such as sulfur compounds,
tetrazole compounds, and azide compounds. Our products are used, for example, in
pharmaceutical intermediates, agrochemical intermediates, and optical lens raw materials.
We carry out every step, from lab-scale testing and pilot production all the way toindustrial-level manufacturing.

Nonwoven Materials

Solutions we provide include HONEYROTOR™, which concentrates VOCs into low-air-volume and high-concentration gas; K-FILTER™, which
carries out eﬃcient adsorption and recovery of VOCs in emissions; and HOLLOSEP™, a multi-purpose water treatment membrane forapplications such as seawater desalination. HOLLOSEP™, products are available in RO※2 membrane; BC※3 membrane, which concentrates
industrial wastewater; and FO※4 membrane, which allows membrane separation at a lower operational pressure than RO membranes.

Our oﬀerings include BREATHAIR™, with a multifunctional, 3D network structured ﬁber material
and a wide range of uses such as on Shinkansen (bullet train) seats and in bedding; VOLANS™
and ecule™, spunbonded nonwovens for car interiors and construction materials; ECOVOLANS™
and ecoecule™, which contain at least 70% recycled polyester; ELITOLON™ dust removal ﬁlter;ADSTOLON™ deodorization ﬁlter; and bicomponent ﬁbers for sanitary materials.
