Polyamide hollow fiber membrane filter

A wide variety of polymers make extensive product lines
possible for many range of applications

Our hollow fiber membrane filter is madefrom polyamide that is highly resistant toorganic solvents. It can be used in theclarification of a wide range of liquids,
including aqueous fluids and organic solvents.

Our strengths lie in the variety of polymers we use as raw materials, our composite
fiber production technology, and our ability to quickly deliver a wide variety ofproducts. These strengths enable us to supply staple fiber products for use inhigh-performance paper, medical and cosmetic applications, as well as industrial
materials for a wide range of fields, including civil engineering and construction
materials, fishing nets and lines, filters, and nylon hollow fiber membranes.
Overseas, we are focusing on the European market to expand sales of binder fibers
for filter applications. We are also focusing on differentiated products with highadded value and environmentally friendly products to cultivate the market further.

TERRAMAC 3D printer filament
Unitika Ltd.

We combined our expertise in plant-based
polylactic acid (PLA) and melt-spinningtechnology to make filaments that can beformed into any desired shape. It features
excellent transparency as well as consistentfilament roundness and is resistant tobreakage during storage and printing.

Fishing lines
Unitika Ltd.

We use our extensive line of polymers andmelt-spinning technology to design fishinglines from the material development stage,
so they are sure to suit their intended
purpose and application. Our products arethoroughly field tested by fishing pros before
commercialization.

Advanced stretchable materialHigh visibility material

We use our own special spinning technology tomake this highly elastic material using hybrid yarn
with a bimetal structure.

High visibility material is a high visibility material
that meets safety standards around the world. Itmaintains high visibility in all daylight conditions
and at night when illuminated by vehicle lights.

Multi-layer yarn with Sorona® Polymer

Soft and Bulky towel

We took our multi-layer yarn technology andquality to new heights when we created thisinnovative material employing Covation Biomaterials'
bio-based polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) resin forthe core and cotton for the sheath.

A biomass-based material "TERRAMAC" works as
a substitute of water-soluble vinylon and that isbroken into lactic acid and other substances indyeing process, which finish organic cotton in atwill-free fashion. It gets even fluffier with each use.

Plant-derived fiber with less environmental impact

Assistive devices

A 100% biomass-based nylon material made fromcastor oil extracted from the seeds of non-edible
castor beans. It’s lightweight and has excellent friction
resistance as well as dimensional stability.

Assistive devices are to support the living
activities of the physically disabled and theelderly. Our assistive devices can adjust and fit
users in a warm state since they are made withspecial filaments for 3D printers.

Durable water-repellent material
Unitika Trading Co., Ltd.

Durable water-repellent material is a durable,waterrepellent material made with our original textured
yarn. Due to the fine asperity structure formed on
the fabric surface, water droplets roll right off thefabric surface.
