Activated carbon fiber
Unitika Ltd.

Performance Materials:Activated Carbon Fiber

Removing harmful substances tomake our lives safe and soundActivated carbon fiber made using our proprietary melt-spinning technology
quickly adsorbs impurities and can be processed into various shapes. This makes
them suitable for use as various types of liquid phase and gas phase filters in a wide
range of industrial and consumer applications. Capable of selectively and efficiently removing impurities and harmful substances, they are used mainly in water
purification, environmental protection facilities and equipment, as well as automotive applications. We will continue to provide high performance products that meetthe needs of the times with the aim of making our lives safe and sound.

Unitika’s activated carbon fiber offers an
extremely high rate of adsorption comparedto powdered or granular activated carbon
and is used in a range of water and air
purification applications.

Finished glass fabrics for printed circuit boards
Unitika Ltd.

Performance Materials:Glass Fibers

Made with our advanced production technology, our glass
fibers are widely used in electronics and Industrial materials.
Our glass fibers are used in a variety of applications, including materials forelectronic products, such as printed circuit boards for semiconductors andmodules, building interior materials, nonflammable tents, and bag filters. Our
unique yarn production facilities enable the production of one-of-a-kind yarns aswell as the integrated production of yarns and fabrics. In the field of electronicmaterials, our yarns with a small fiber diameter for ultra-thin fabrics and yarns for
special glass fabrics are extremely popular. In the area of industrial materials, weoffer a wide range of products made with our weaving and post-processing technologies, as well as customized products to meet customer needs. Glass fiber is a
performance material that holds huge potential.

Our line of high value-added products
includes ultra-thin and low expansion models.
We put the wealth of our collective expertise
to work in everything from material
manufacturing to weaving and surface
treatment with an eye to making peerless
products.

Glass-fiber reinforced resin sheet
Unitika Ltd.

Glass-fiber reinforced resin sheet is a glassfiber-reinforced resin sheet. Due to its lightweight and unbreakable property, its
applications are expanding as a replacement
for plate glass. Fire blocking, transparent,lightweight, and certified as a fire retardantmaterial for use in buildings by the Japanese
government, it can be used as an alternative to
glass plates for smoke-proof vertical walls.

Illumination cover
Unitika Ltd.

This glass fabric has been specially treatedfor use as an illumination cover. It will notshatter or melt during a fire and is more
durable than plastic. It has been certified
as a fire retardant material for use in buildings
by the Japanese government.

High Performance Glass Beads
Unitika Glass Beads Co., Ltd.

Glass beads have a highly sharp size
distribution and are used in many kinds ofspacer applications. They are especiallysuitable for applications that require heat
resistance, load bearing, and insulation
properties.

Performance Materials:Glass Beads

As Japan’s leading glass beads manufacturer,
Unitika offers extensive lines of products
for various applications including road markings.
We are the leading manufacturer of glass beads in Japan, supplying products forroad marking, blasting, grinding, dispersion, and filler applications. We also utilize
our spheronization and high-precision classifying techniques in a wide variety ofglass compositions to make products for spacer applications used in the electricaland electronics fields. Working to reduce the environmental impact of ourproducts, we make glass bead products for filler applications in order to reduce theuse of petroleum-based plastics and use recycled materials for approximately eighty
percent of our production volume.

Glass Beads for road markings
Unitika Glass Beads Co., Ltd.

Glass beads are used in a wide range of roadmarking applications. Their retroreflective
properties increase visibility at night, playing
an important role in road safety. Recycled
glass is used as a raw material.

Filler for Plastic

Unitika Glass Beads Co., Ltd.
When used as a filler, glass beads demonstrate
excellent filling and flowing properties due totheir spherical shape. The silane coupling
agent provides an optimal surface treatment
for the resin that is used.
